Thus far, my favorite “Alex is a dad” moment is when the kid and Alex were in the river on our first weekend together.

And Alex fell over and floated on his back.

And the kid fell over and floated on his back

And they looked like two peas in a pod.

My ovaries exploded.

Which is okay, since I’m not planning on using them.

Alex, you are the kindest, most compassionate, most thoughtful man I know.

I’m so grateful to be on this journey with you.

Happy first Father’s Day, boo.
