Every year since my mother passed, my TV mom has baked me cookies on my birthday. It doesn’t matter that I’m now older than she was when we first worked together, or that I’ve moved to Texas. She bakes them, and finds me, and does it from the bottom of her heart – and it always warms mine. Here’s to all the kind, wonderful, loving women on #internationalwomensday who – mothers or not – show the kind of love that lights up the lives of those around them. @thereal_marymargarethumes #dawsonscreek #cookies #moms #kindness
Happy Birthday to the most extraordinary person I know. @vanderkimberly, I am in awe of you: As a mother, a friend, a medicine woman, a healer, a conscious, caring superhuman on this planet… and as a wife? I would not be half the man I am without you, nor would I have survived this past year. Your strength has been our anchor, your magic has inspired us all to new heights, and your love has carried us through – me, the kids, our community… Everyone who knows you feels nurtured and safe in your presence. Maybe one day the world will get to witness the actual extent of your gifts, but for now… I count myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth. I love you. Thank you for being. ❤️

Goals are great. But when we microfocus on “optimization”… how much of the big picture might we be missing in the name of small victories? Caught myself this morning and wanted to share 😂
8 years old today. You came in an old soul… and continue to blow us away with each passing day. Whether you’re asking big cosmic questions or making sure I have everything I need for the day before ushering me out the door on time to drive you to school, I listen to 100% of what you have to say. Not because it’s “good parenting”, but because I legit value your perspective on all things. I’d love to think your innate wisdom, inner strength, and sense of humor comes from me, but I believe you channel your magic from deep in the heart of all that is good in the universe. “Where did she come from?” is a question often asked about you… and while it’s not for us to know, I’m SO glad you chose to spend your earth side journey with us this go-round. I love you with all my heart and soul, kiddo. Happy birthday.

I’d like to thank all my fun, ridiculous friends who helped me pull this off @jaredpadalecki @genpadalecki @petekowalski @awfricke and honorable mention to @odetteannable ❤️ @thecwwalker (PS – Season 4 premieres April 3 y’all!) #walker #dawsonscreek #dawsonscreekreunion #thecw #walkertexasranger
Anyone else unexpectedly emotional under the eclipse today?? @shophaloeclipse #eclipse #solareclipse #darkness #darknessinthedaytime
12 years old today. You make me laugh, you make me think, you make me a better person. Wise beyond your years and yet an eternally playful spirit… You are kind, fair, thoughtful, and your take on the world always adds a new dimension I never would have recognized on my own. I cherish our adventures, your questions, and even the highly questionable “facts” you’re so fond of dispensing ❤️ I love your sense of humor, your high weirdness, and every minute I get to spend as your dad. Thanks for being you, bud. Don’t ever change for anyone but yourself. I love you and couldn’t be more proud of you.
Really enjoyed connecting with y’all at 90’s con! I don’t watch a lot of my work, so it’s gift to see the best parts distilled through what you share with me. That way I can see what’s resonated without having to second-guess the hair choices that may have been made along the way 😂. @thats4ent #90s #90scon #dawsonscreek #varsityblues #therulesofattraction #jayandsilentbobstrikeback #jayandsilentbobreboot
