Ah, such a year full of firsts! Back in the Before Times, Tom and Galen would sometimes walk to our house to pick up Lilith to go thrifting.

One night, she came home with a second-hand chainsaw. It’s now one of her most prized possessions. Motherhood really is all that I expected it to be.

Chainsaw grease and chocolate chip cookies. (The scent is way nicer than you might expect!)
