@_emilychapin artwork featured in the super chic + beautiful @fredericmagazine pretty bfd. more in stories 👆 and check out her work. I am a little partial to her witty + irreverent New Yorker collages. but every pet deserves a portrait, no? #creat

wisteria explosion. such a moody, mysterious (and crazy invasive) plant. bloomed for years, then last two years absolutely nothing. happy to see it’s back. will enjoy the blooms and then let the ruthless pruning commence. we were away one week
office closed for the next few days. we’re heading north to Portland while child #3 has knee surgery. paying the price for adventurous spring skiing. happy for her to finally be able to lose the crutches in the coming weeks. been a long journey
