Happy seven months to the Callie 🐻. Your special mix of curiosity and determination make every day an adventure. This month you started crawling...and when that didn’t get you into the spots you wanted to discover, you moved on to pulling up to stand 😱. You bring us joy every day, little one!
Posting Callie’s six month photo a week late because we’ve been a bit busy getting a new cousin, celebrating my dad’s 60th birthday, getting a new uncle, and being obnoxiously happy about our new life in Austin. Happy half birthday, Callie Bear. We’re so lucky to share this life with you.
Well, you know what they say: man plans, United laughs. Our “first weekend away from baby” ended up being “a lot of time and money spent to fly to Houston, discover that our flight to Cleveland was canceled, and fly back to Austin.” Good thing hanging out with this baby all weekend is a pretty great consolation prize. || And with that, it’s time to sign off of social media for awhile. It’s been fun documenting this summer, but it’s time to focus on building a life here in Austin, and reading some good books along the way.
First trip sans baby! And yes, we are accidentally wearing matching t-shirts...because we’re cool parents. We can’t wait to celebrate #kishlovesmadly 😊
Benjamin Ashcroft Miller, my perfect nephew, was born to my strong, extraordinary sister yesterday (twenty minutes after they arrived at the hospital!). I can’t wait to snuggle you little one, and am so grateful to live close by! What a week!
Traditional Clark family plane selfies to close out the trip. Austin, here we come!!
One more Simba picture for the books because damn, it was fun while it lasted | 📍Grand Canyon National Park Thank you so much for the messages checking in and sympathizing with how scary this experience was. My breath will always catch thinking about the moment we realized we were sliding out of control. We’re so grateful we walked out unscathed and were greeted with so much love on the other side.
We are fine! But all good things must come to an end, sometimes in sudden and terrifying ways. Yesterday, our car hydroplaned on an interstate in Arizona, spun out of control, and slid off the road. It was the most traumatic 30 seconds of mine and Bob’s lives, but all of us escaped without a scratch (except the Subaru. It has many scratches). We woke up this morning so thankful to be alive, uninjured, and supported by family, friends, the public servants who showed up to pull us out and make sure we were okay. I’m grateful for Bob above all, who stayed calm under immense pressure and literally steered us to safety. Two nights ago, we were talking about how lucky we’ve been in life. That’s never been truer than it is today.
📍Horseshoe Bend / Antelope Canyon / Lake Powell | People refer to Texas as “God’s Country,” but after seeing Utah and Arizona, I can’t help but think this is the chosen land.
