Life Wright Now | January 2026

After returning from the East Coast, our family was completely pummeled by the flu. Our children were missing school left and right, and I hadn’t been that sick since COVID — it was brutal. I’m so thankful to be on the other side of the bleak, isolating days that illness brings.

We’ve finally had the chance to unpack from our trip, reset the house, spend time with friends, start our parent-led ski school journey, and—most importantly—regain a sense of normalcy. Lately, there have been five main things bringing me joy:

1. Playing games with CCW
2. Doing EDW's hair
3. Celebrating NLW's skiing progress
4. Basking in Mr. Fleece's new part-time schedule of a three-day work week
5. Building the habit of going to the gym

Connecticut | Winter 2025

We unexpectedly began our year on the East Coast, flying to Connecticut just days after Christmas to be with family. My father-in-law was diagnosed with lung cancer in mid-December and passed away on December 29. Being together—and having all the cousins in one place—brought moments of brightness during a very sad time.

I love these kids, and I know Bill would have been right out there with them: building snowmen, throwing ice into Holly Pond, and soaking in the hot tub. We miss you deeply and think of you often, Papa.

Grateful for the love in this family,

Life Wright Now | December 2025

We have officially transitioned into winter season with an uptick in indoor play. Board games, forts, LEGOS, and building nests and villages in front of the Christmas tree -- we've cozied up for the season. 

Highlights:
- teaching the boys how to play chess :) 
- enjoying Cauldron Quest
- exuding Christmas cheer by hand-delivering cards to our neighbors
- a last-minute invite to a "hot toddy night" with neighbors (we live on the best block!)
- watching Mr. Fleece begin a new hobby of wing foiling
- attending the pathway of lights at Greenlake 
- going downtown for the Sheraton gingerbread houses
- dog-sitting Piccadilly

daily hot cocoa,
