Fall is the season of cyclocross for our family! Evan and Erica look forward to racing the Trophy Cup series on Tuesday nights (date night!) and we all love the Harvest Cross and Cross Crusade events on the weekends. Kiddie-cross is a hoot, and the whole experience is designed for families who love to spend the day outside, challenge themselves physically, and get dirty!

We are having so much fun landscaping and planting our front and backyards! Portland Nursey is one of our fav spots to buy plants, pots, and mulch, and we would be happy to name a plant after you!

House projects are a sacred activity for our family. Give us a Saturday with no plans and we are often moved to channel our energy into making our home more functional and beautiful. It's almost absurd - couldn't we just sit and read a book? While we've been in our home since 2019, we're not short on ideas for improvements big and small - from replacing the siding on the south side of the house, to building an outdoor shower, to finally finishing the kitchen cabinets. We welcome all support!

Three blocks from our house, LUCE had me from the first bite of fennel salad and farro parmesan pie. I'm salivating just thinking about it. Since our first time eating at LUCE on Evan's birthday in 2019, we've shared countless memories there with family and friends. I can't imagine a neighborhood joint being any more special.
