A 2025 Interview
Elaine AKA "Laineybug"
Elaine had a big year, turning two in July just in time for friends and family to visit our home after a year of renovations! She loves to go to school where she sees her friends and works on projects while speaking in Spanish. When she’s not at school she loves to play with Charlie, trying to do whatever he’s doing. She’s also a very good caretaker of baby dolls.
Charlie AKA "Charmander"
Charlie has grown so much as a four-and-a-half year old. If you have any questions about Pokémon, he will more than likely have the answer. He has blossomed socially, making friends at school, going on playdates, and birthday parties. He has never been more fun to be around!
Abby AKA "Mom"
Abby's employer recently started requiring four days a week in office after 5 years of working fully remotely. This has meant more of the family pitches in to keep things running in the house. It also means she has been plowing through more audio books during her commute. When there’s a spare moment, going to thrift stores or vintage markets is Abby's favorite way to appreciate art, design, and hidden treasures through time.
Christopher AKA "Dad"
Christopher continues to work as a UX designer for Resideo (Honeywell Home / First Alert). In his free time, he enjoys catching Pokémon with Charlie and riding his collection of bicycles. This year his mileage was down due to a knee surgery, but it went very well and he's mostly pain free for the first time in a long time.
