It’s New Year’s 2026, and my resolution is to blog more. Mariano’s sister, her husband, and kids are in town visiting with us. They’re seven-year-old twins, and being around them made me really miss little Kaio and Nala, who are 19 and 17 now! I started looking back at posts on this blog, getting pulled back into our adventures and the joy and wonder at their creativity and personalities. I wish I’d blogged more about Tori in her early years. She’s 11 now and says the funniest things.
So here goes. Let’s see if I can keep this up and document the kids more this year. A lot has happened since my last post. I’m not ready to try and catch up on everything right now. I will say, though, that we had a baby! She’s so perfect and beautiful. I’m actually typing this from my phone with her sleeping on my chest.
