What is it like parenting two teenagers?

Amy: I feel so thankful that I have two kids because I feel like one relationship will often buoy me up when the other one is feeling challenging.

What is something you like to do all together?

Amy: Art galleries! We like to go to Shelburne Museum together. Cooper and his dad go fast, and Zoe and I go slowly, but we’re together!

Cooper: Yeah, we’re usually done way before you!

Amy: We do pretty well when we all get out in the woods.
Getting there can be a battle, but once we’re there, it’s good.

Zoe: Yeah, it can definitely be a battle.

Cooper: See! They always agree!
