@thexanderpearce At this point, I don’t care if they are 35, I’m still going to cuddle and tickle torture them until I get arthritis and it’s no longer an option. My babies forever. All three of them.
Seeing our youngest hit 16 is a terrifying blur. From babies in my arms to young men standing tall, you and your brother are treasures. Your dad was the final piece that made this family whole, and today we honor the incredible men you’ve become. We love you, Walker and Henry! ❤️
Not one but TWO teenagers were born today sixteen years ago. So happy to have seen you both grow into fine young men. And one day you'll take a photo with me and your dad again. Until then, he's one of my favorites. HBD @HenryRCarlisle & @WalCarlisle! Two loves of my life.
Big day tomorrow, @thexanderpearce. Will we be extra generous... or remember all the times the trash was not taken out? 🤨
But seriously, I am not ready. 16 is too big of a number.
Happy @AsherTomlin Day. His album Pep Talks arrived at our doorstep on vinyl! @HenryRCarlisle is going to be in a great mood when he returns home from school today! (Hen, I’m not sure what color this is — no sticker on the plastic.)
I am heavily concerned that this content found you. I'm not even certain if it was staged, because turning these real life trauma moments into skits has become a digital epidemic. Regardless, the violence from that demon was REAL, and I'm beyond horrified for that young man.
To my husband, @thexanderpearce, on his 40th: 10 years of marriage and you still take my breath away. You lead our family with a kind heart and a steady hand. A world-class father, and the best friend I’ve ever had. You’ve never looked better, and I’ve never loved you more. 🎂❤️
@thexanderpearce The fact that I’ve already unpacked his things without him knowing is more troubling. Maybe that was a bit intrusive and extra. But I wanted everything out of that damn suitcase.
The 24th: I cried all day because I was disappointed.
The 25th: I cried al day because I was overjoyed.
Today, I’m crying this is what Thanksgiving is about. Thank you,
@TheKitCarlisle, for coming home, even though you made it feel like an episode of Punk’d.
When your eldest surprises you.... you become a blubbering flood of tears. And offer to do their laundry. And then realize he can do his own damn laundry.
Seeing this makes my day, Kit! So happy you’re getting celebrated the way you should be. That smile says it all. You deserve this moment of pure joy. Love you tons! ❤️❤️❤️
Eighteen! Happy Birthday, @TheKitCarlisle. Even miles away, our connection is steadfast. Missing you fiercely today, but knowing you’re thriving makes the distance bearable. So proud of the amazing, educated young man you are. I love you, son. Go make some magic.
18 years you've been on this planet tomorrow... and I can't see you, hug you, or tell you how proud I am of you in person.
I am depressed. And eating a lot of yogurt.
Thank you, my love. It was an extraordinary weekend that wouldn’t have been possible without you making all the arrangements, with the help of my two 15-year-old “babies,” and Kit’s clever way of being present from so far away. I love my family so much. You keep me whole. ❤️
Birthday weekends are a thing in the Carlisle-Pearce household, especially when your birthday FALLS on a weekend! And @RealJonathanCar landed the goldmine this year! Happy birthday, baby!
Thank you guys for all the wonderful birthday wishes. I had a great time on a boat on Santa Catalina Island with my family, friends (many of whom I have not seen since my daytime years). Still celebrating all weekend if you want to get me any last minute gifts or shout outs. 😂
