Dear Friends,   I have been thinking a lot recently about keeping peace in my home. If I’m honest, I have felt a bit off with my household since Jesse has come. Maybe it’s from lack of sleep or simply being outnumbered.  There is of course a “grace period” when a new baby arrives. But […]

We are thrilled to announce the arrival of our second son, Jesse Lee Burdge. Born on May 23, 2025 | 20 inches long | 8 pounds 8 ounces We are adjusting as a family of three but our hearts are full of gratitude. Thank you to friends and family for all the love and care […]
