Mom spent most of the summer at the new house while it was under construction and I got to join for a handful of weeks.

This year we rented an AirBnB because the house was under construction. It was Emma’s first year with the group!

Emma and I got up to Atlanta to see The Drums in concert. We got to see them again on New Years Eve in LA!

Last year the old house was demolished. This summer the new house was completed. Having a space for the entire family to be together - comfortably - has been wonderful.

Mu loves having a yard to run around.

I turned 35 this year and spent my birthday at the lake.

I love that everyone is making a different face.

Introducing Emma to the lake house was a special part of the year. It also inspired a song I wrote for her 29th birthday.

Mu loves boat rides.

This is a special picture because it’s the last one I have with Denali. He unfortunately passed away a few months later. Denali loved being at the lake, he loved being a part of our family, and we all miss him very much.

We all spent Thanksgiving at the new house this year!
