Luca Quinn- One Year Old

Our Little Luca is one year old today! We welcomed Luca to our family in the peak of the pandemic in the epicenter of it all, New York.

Traveling with Little Ones

A couple of years ago, I wrote this blog post, sharing some tips and tricks for traveling with little ones. Pandemic aside, we travel a lot. In the last 7 years, we’ve traveled to 20 states, and 5 countries with our four children (and a couple international trips without kids!). Ron & I both loved to travel before ever meeting each other, and we didn’t want to stop once we had children. Of course travel looks very different now than it did 10 years ago. I’ll be honest, it’s a lot of work, it’s stressful at times, and not always restful. (Am I selling you on traveling with kids yet?) But at the end of the day, it’s so worth it. The memories we’ve shared with our children, the cultures they’ve experienced, the sheer beauty of this world, are all indescribably worth it.

Life has been busy as usual, and we’ve added some new things to our plate too.

Luca Quinn- Week 26

Luca Quinn is 26 weeks old and also 6 months old today! Luca has lived equal parts in New York, Oklahoma, and California, two months in each place. That is so wild to me, I certainly never imagined that would be the case! I sometimes get a little sad that he did not get to experience NYC at all, but I dream of the days will bring him back to visit his first home!
