A packed August held our son's first overnight trip, a bunch of bank promotions, and a house that really wants to have water leaking in it.

With Lukas's second month of life came lots of fun with family and exploring our city, but our house got a little jealous and released the gremlins!

Our first full month having our baby boy Lukas was filled with fun—splash pads and the USA's 250th—but also insurance and bills!

A big, strong Lukas made his way into the world with our Doula by our side and healthy Jenni after a long labor!

Our latest monthly FIRE budget: A $250K net worth swing, motherhood charities, and our last month as a family of two!

See how we earned a whopping $11K+ in bank bonuses, read how our baby prep continues, and come vote for a nature conservation charity we'll donate to!

Our heat pump project costs cut by nearly 90%, an induction stove for 66% off, and our ongoing baby project took over February.

We discovered our gas stove has cost about $3K in utility fees since we moved in, started on our baby buying spree, and got lucky with a huge capital gain!

After reaching financial independence, we chose to become parents.

December came with the loss of Chris's grandfather—so, off to Phoenix for us plus a trip to Mexico, Christmas festivities, and $28K in dividends.

November opened with a yawn for us—but by the end, the holiday season kicked off with joyous gatherings, and, we'll escape south in December for warmth!
