Why Now?

First, to our Muslim friends, we apologize for scheduling this during Ramadan. We look forward to hosting you in our home at some future date … hopefully soon!

Second, these are difficult times. Some of you have expressed concern about COVID; others of you are worried about family and friends in Ukraine.

We know that a party can seem inappropriate for this moment. We thought about canceling, but then considered that especially in a difficult world, we wanted to give space to recognize the good things.

We’re grateful for our growing boy and grateful for our friends, and in that spirit, felt it was important to have a celebration - and where better than in our new home?

With that said, if you cannot join, we completely understand; and hope we see you soon!
