Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Pepere was here, and we celebrated his birthday with an ice cream cake while we rang in the new year. MJ and I attended a swanky NYE party at the house of our tennis friends, Lauren and Justin (I forgot to ask someone to take our picture, and I'm really bummed about it!). But we ducked out a little early so we'd be home for the stroke of midnight. MJ went straight to bed, but Pepere and I and the kids watched the ball drop together.

2025 was hands-down the worst year of my life. But it's still hard to say good bye to it, because it was the last year I saw my mom, hugged her, and told her I loved her. I don't want there to be another year without her, another year of milestones and memories she wasn't a part of. But I know she's watching us all, cheering for us, and celebrating every event with us. 

I'm not usually one for New Years resolutions, but this year I actually have one: to update this blog more often. I've gotten way behind on a lot of the big events (our beach vacation last summer, for example) and most of the little ones, too. My mom loved reading updates and seeing so many pictures of our family, so I'll try to be better about it. You'll be seeing a LOT of old posts and pictures for the new few weeks!

Here's to a better 2026. Cheers!
