If the Pacific Northwest is where I feel the most at peace, then The Ranch is that place for Drew.
The Ranch deserves capital letters, for it is a magical place where the LaForge family has gathered for many years.
Over the past few years, the LaForge clan has experienced a lot of loss. But as we gathered on July 3rd this year, I was reminded of the strength of this incredible family, who turn to one another in both joy and sorrow. The Ranch was owned by Drew's grandfather, Dr. LaForge, who was an exceedingly kind and wise man and who, I can only imagine, is looking down in love as we gathered together to celebrate.
Although the 105 degree heat is not my cup of (iced) tea, I loved watching Drew settle into this special place while introducing our girls to the magic that is The Ranch.

The girls spent much of the day in the pool in the shade.
