Layla’s 10th

Posted on June 11, 2026 by Lindsey

This June, our little Layla turned 10. A whole decade of her energy, her creativity, and the way she fills every space with movement and joy.

This birthday feels like a celebration of everything she’s becoming: determined, expressive, full of heart, and always in motion. Ten looks good on her. She’s bold, joyful, and ready for every new adventure this next year brings. Here’s to the dancer, the swimmer, the spark in our home. Happy 10th Birthday Layla. We love you!

Skiing

We didn’t have a great ski season this year, but that didn’t stop my family from getting out there as much as they could! Jonathan taught at Summit again, Kieron and Silas both did ski bus, and they all made lots of effort to get to the pass.

Summer Swim

Posted on July 30, 2025 by Lindsey

Kieron, Silas & Layla participated in another season of summer swim. Unfortunately, Kieron fractured his arm right before competition started and then we had our Europe trip, so his season was pretty short, but once we returned he got a few meets in. Layla and Silas made a lot of progress this season. It was fun watching all of them grow and improve.
