This blog serves to replace social media as a place where we can safely and privately share updates on our family as it grows with the birth of our son, Marshall, with only those who are interested and wish to subscribe or visit at their convenience. We aim to post weekly or bi-weekly with fun photos and updates on how he is doing!

We ask family to refrain from sharing photos of Marshall on social media, and instead share this website directly with interested parties.

Why? Social media apps/websites fully own all rights to photos shared, and use them for profit. Furthermore, children are significant targets of identity theft due to their clean-slate record and infrequent monitoring of their information.

In contrast, Medium (this website) has a privacy policy which states that they do not, and will not, sell users' personal information. We own all the content we post on Medium and they make no claims to it. If we wish to remove any information posted here, Medium will delete it or make it anonymous by removing all details that identify us. Medium has made a commitment to be an ad-free and private platform in contrast to the social media giants.

We understand this is an inconvenience for excited family members, but we very much appreciate your support. Thank you!
