Month 56, Version 2.0
Dear Miles, There was a time not so long ago that you were this little boy who couldn’t speak a word. You schlepped through the house, pointing and grunting to get the things you wanted/needed.

Month 76
Dear Olivia, Every now and then I come across a video of you and Miles that makes it hard to believe that you both were anything but older sassy-mouthed children.

Month 51, Version 2.0
Dear Miles, The concept of sibling rivalry is somewhat foreign to me since the age gap is go great between me and my sisters. Since you and Olivia are only two years apart in age, I knew your relationship with your sister would be vastly different than my own experience with my sisters and I […]
