Dempsey’s classmates asked him to help create so Dempsey’s classmates asked him to help create some ears like his for them 😭🥰

When his teacher sent me these pictures, I got super emotional. We have had such a sweet year with the coolest class & teachers. They’ve embraced my boy’s differences and loved on him so well! What a blessing it is to walk through this life surrounded by such dear people! 🫶 This mama is very very thankful!

HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY, @shopsummerhouse! 🥳✨ La HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY, @shopsummerhouse! 🥳✨

Last night was amazing… so many awesome people came to help celebrate SummerHouse & all the hard work @lpdesignlove has put in for all these years! We got to visit with design great @tarashawdesign, revel in the beauty of @flowermagazine with @margotrshaw, and artist @jennifergibbsart and I bonded over (1) her art and the mystery of her process and (2) mutual fascination for all things @wafflehouseofficial. 🧇 

I feel so blessed to have gotten to be a part of the SummerHouse family for almost 19 years… Crazy to think that I have I been adulting for that long 🤪

Love the my SH people so much! So proud of their beautiful success! 🥰
