Life in our family runs on a steady diet of chaos, laughter, and whatever questionable adventure someone suggests before breakfast, which is probably why we’re a close‑knit crew who can go from blissfully lounging on the couch to charting unknown waters on our sailboat without warning; one minute we’re happily lifting heavy things and putting them down again, the next we’re racing around on thin sharp blades trying to sink a black plastic thing into a net, or disappearing into a vortex of data and computer code, and honestly, if we’re not doing one of those, we’re probably off inventing something equally ridiculous—because around here, we’re almost always up to something.
