“Now, she’s our big preppie who 30 seconds after we arrived in her classroom, looked like she’d been there for years.”
“I just want to marinate in these moments. I am insufferably proud of these girls and annoyingly proud of our amazing family team,” she wrote.
“Who could’ve wished for more? ❤️”

“Poppy is not sure she’s ready for another baby, Eddie thinks it will be a little girl and Bronte is excited to be a big sister but really has no idea what’s she’s in for.”
