She's always up for an adventure-whether it's splashing in mud puddles, climbing trees, or zooming around on her bike and scooter. Their 3-year-old son is initially shy around new faces but quickly warms up to reveal his lovable, thoughtful nature.

He focuses very well and will happily engage in activities like assembling 100-piece puzzles or playing with trains on his own. You can also find him racing around playing chase and dragon, sharpening his throwing, catching, and kicking skills, and learning to pedal his bike like a pro. Their 22-month-old daughter is a bundle of joy, radiating curiosity and strong opinions. She's entering the adorable "no" phase and is just beginning to string words together. She adores reading, playing dress-up, and exploring the world around her. She's in her element building with Magnatiles, is getting creative with her coloring and painting, and is learning to ride on her balance bike.
