We said no big party this year.
Then remembered it was his last birthday as our only child and abandoned that plan 😂

So we gave our breakdancing, music-loving little drummer boy his own festival.

TOUR TWO MARS 🤘🏼🥁
One afternoon. One tiny headliner. A whole lotta people who love him.

Big thanks to all the tagged vendors and entertainers who made this all happen on very short notice! And thank you @brandseedcreative for capturing the day perfectly 📸 by @1989flow

The first 48 hours back home in Bali have felt like a deep breath.

The environment we live in shapes the way we spend our days, the way we raise our children, and the life we build together. That’s why we chose Bali for our family. It may not make sense to everyone, and that’s okay. What matters most is that it feels right for us.

I’m grateful to share this life with my beautiful wife and our little boy, Mars. And soon, we’ll welcome one more teammate to the family. 😌🫶🏽

Two years of Mars 🤎
Two years of watching his little soul reveal itself to us piece by piece.

And what a little person he is 🤎

He’s empathetic in a way that still catches me off guard. And hilarious-genuinely, intentionally hilarious! Curious and with the memory of an elephant. The places we’ve been, the people he’s met, something you told him months ago that you assumed he’d forgotten… nope. Filed away 😄

He’s so intelligent, but it’s his emotional intelligence that amazes me the most. He’s currently monster truck obsessed. He flips them, wheelies them, knows them all- but my favorite thing he does is carefully group them into threes, then proudly call me over “Mama, look! A family” 🥹

And then there is music.

I don’t know how else to describe it except that Mars doesn’t just like music. He feels it.
With his whole little soul.
He hears a song and his entire body responds. He drums. He dances. He sings his little heart out. He remembers the melody and lyrics and asks for his favorite songs over and over and over again (currently all by either Bruno Mars, Cold Play or Lady Gaga) A sound in a song will stop him in his tracks, he’ll point to his ear and tell us what instrument he hears. Watching him find something that brings him that much joy has been one of the greatest joys of my life.

These are little snapshots of all the Marses we’ve gotten to know along the way- versions of him that existed for a fleeting moment before becoming the next. And together, they brought us here. To two. To him.

And the most incredible part is knowing that we’ve barely met him yet.
There is still so much of Mars we haven’t gotten to know yet- So many things he’ll love. So many things that will make him laugh. Songs he hasn’t heard yet. Places he hasn’t seen. People he hasn’t met ..
And we get to be here for it.
What a privilege.
Happy 2nd birthday, Marsy boy

Life has been a wild ride lately but wouldn’t want it any other way. Love you son. Thank for allowing me to be your father and to show you the ways. It’s truly an honor.
