The eye of the hurricane 🌪️💙 Happy Thanksgiving from Mexico City.

Between the embassy appointments, the insurance appeals, and the chaos of navigating a new life abroad... it is so easy to get lost in the logistics of becoming parents.  

But today, we are hitting pause.

This is the “why.” The quiet moments where the noise stops and the reality hits: We are dads. He is here. And he is perfect.

I’m already looking at these thinking, “How was he ever this tiny?” (Especially now that he’s growing so much!)

Soaking up this first (and last) Thanksgiving as a trio before his brother arrives next month and the table gets a little more crowded, and a lot more loud.

We are so incredibly grateful for this little life, and for all of you cheering us on from afar. 🦃🍂
