Being a united front while being forced apart.

That’s the tension we’re living in right now. After weeks of avoiding the conversation, we finally sat with our reality and made the hard call: Brent packed up and headed back to Wisconsin with Henry for a while. Not because it was easy, because it was the sacrifice he was willing to make to be there as Henry gets ready for school to start. He’s such an incredible dad to our kids.

Having your family split across two states just sucks. I hate that I’m not there for Henry. Brent hates that he’s not there for Harlow. There’s no version of this where everybody wins - just hard choices that feel unfair right now, made with the trust that this season isn’t forever and that it’ll all work out in the Lords timing.

We are beyond blessed for the village around us who keep showing up in the gaps. So hug your people tight… mine are getting theirs virtually tonight.

We wanted to give an update since so many of you have been checking in and praying for our girl.

Harlow’s esophageal resection surgery on August 10th went well - it was an 11 hour surgery, but the team accomplished exactly what they set out to do. During recovery, she unfortunately tested positive for parainfluenza and developed a leak at the surgical repair site. We’re told this isn’t super uncommon, but it does mean we’ll be here for several more weeks.

She now has an Endovac placed at the leak to help healthy tissue form/heal, and it’s checked every 5-7 days. It’s been in place for 6 days so far and has already started healing well - they’ll check again in a week.

Because of where it’s placed and how sensitive that area is, Harlow has to stay intubated & sedated during this time. She has been such a fighter through all of this. We are so grateful for your kind words, prayers, coffees, check-ins and more… we truly could not get through this without the support of everyone around us.

It’s been a while since we’ve shared a Harlow update, and we wanted to fill you in.

Since January, we’ve been making regular trips to Cincinnati Children’s as part of Harlow’s ongoing care - She’s handled it all with so much strength.

We’ve now reached a point where her care team recommends moving forward with a bigger esophageal surgery scheduled for August 10th. It’s a significant procedure, with recovery meaning at minimum two weeks in the hospital. We trust she’s in good hands and that the Lord has good plans for her, though we won’t pretend it isn’t a little nerve wracking.

We are so grateful for this community. As we get closer to surgery & while we’re away, we’d be so grateful for your prayers over Harlow, her care team, and our family.

Thank you for loving our girl.🩷

I love my time alone, but there’s something so beautiful that happens when to like souls are paired together. Two are many times better than one… this is true when it comes to best friends, when it comes to time spent with my family, when two or more creative brains come together… And definitely when it comes to art! Laura and I had so much fun playing around at Misty’s house… Styling all these already amazing spaces with my art. If you’d like to see some inspiration for a moody Lakehouse library, a breezy coastal kitchen, and a laundry room that actually makes you feel like doing laundry (even when it’s dark and rainy outside), comment below, and I will send you a link to these collections (and some fun styling extras available at LindsayLetters)! Tell me — where would you most like to be spending your time today? Laundry, Kitchen, Library? (As for me, I will be at 4th Grade Field Day 😂😉)
