We then jump into breaking down our Nashville trip and what lessons we learned as first and last plane trip as a family of 4 until we become a family of FIVE very soon. We then segue to talking about the south. We talk about the racist remnants and the artifacts that exist subtly. In spite of all the technology in 2021, the word of Covid apparently hasn't made its' way down south. Then we segue to talking about our family expansion and baby boy Ham on his way.

We anticipate having a boy and what terrifies us about the new gender in our household. We discuss our dog's injury in spite of his laziness. We then talk about friendships around this phase of life, aspirational role model parents in their 40s, and hypothesize why certain couples get along. Are husbands bad photo takers? What drives this?
