FAMILY SCRAPBOOK

A goal fulfilled — literally and figuratively. A father-son trip to Europe to watch his favorite Champions League team, a lifelong dream come true, and a win that made it all even sweeter.

“I think I love Eeyore more than you.” He carried his stuffed Eeyore everywhere from the time he was an infant, so watching him finally meet Eeyore in person is a moment I’ll always hold close to my heart.

This trip came after one of our hardest years. Just the two of us, wrapped in a little Disney magic, finding joy and connection when we needed it most.

His favorite team. A live game. And an epic father–son memory in the making.

National parks are our happy place. On this Moab trip, Daniel proudly became “Ranger Dan,” guiding our family through every adventure.

We were on a mission for authentic Mexican food. After a long walk and a lot of determination, we finally found a little local restaurant — ate well, laughed a lot, and felt like we had officially conquered this cute little Mexican town.

I’ve always taught her she’s a diamond. This moment at Tiffany’s in New York was about more than sparkle — it was about reminding her how deeply she’s valued and loved.

A favorite trip for everyone in our family.

A scary moment at Mount Rushmore that ended in relief. One restless toddler, a mother’s panic, and the comfort of knowing he had found his way back to his dad — safe and sound.

While visiting Sullivan Lake, each of us took a turn placing our hand into the heart of the eagle — just like in National Treasure. A small moment that felt adventurous, symbolic, and perfectly us.

Not every memory is picture-perfect. One unexpected stop, one very sick kid, and a moment beneath George Washington that still makes us laugh. Somehow, it became one of those stories we’ll tell forever.
