A lot of people ask me if it's different raising Mallory vs. Brady. Well of course! Mallory is actually a lot more work. Brady was more like easy rock and Mallory is somewhere between heavy metal and techno music. It's like she came pre-installed with a microphone and speakers. She has a boom'n system vs. Brady who was more like an antique record player. He was a baby Kenny G (minus the curly mullet) and Mallory is a bit Lady Gaga (minus the platinum locks and metal bra). The two couldn't be more different, but throw them in the same concert hall and you've got a symphony. Each kid will or has presented different challenges, but they seem to balance each other out. There is sweet equilibrium between them. Brady taught me to embrace every moment and Mallory is teaching me how fleeting the moments are. For now I'm just thrilled to be on tour with both of them.
