Instead of writing a letter, I decided that for this episode, I would just ramble to the brats about our life since September 4, 2021, the day Joaquin came into our lives. Moving forward, I think the style of these audio letters will follow suit. Less writing, more rambling. Thanks for listening. --If you enjoy the stories you hear, I'd be stoked i…

Written and recorded on September 2, 2021, just two days before Bret became a Big Sister. I wanted to write a final letter to Bret before our second baby was born.

This letter was written on January 28, 2021. You still have six teeth, you can actually walk now which is cool, and you think you're very funny. I think you get that from me. I wanted to tell you the story of Cochamó today, as it feels like an important place in my head. By the way, the lady in the story's name was not Sandra, or Shannon, it was Ja…

This letter was written on January 15, 2021, after a rough couple of weeks for a Caucasian family of three living in one of the most fortunate country's in the world. Relative problems for the simple folk. Onwards and upwards, that's what I always say. -- If you enjoy the letters, feel free to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts, and if you le…

I’m hoping that one day, she might get something out of this... and …
