Jason and Lauren have big news to share—their first grandbaby has arrived! 🎉 In this special family update episode, they reflect on the joy of this new season, the surprises of grandparenting while still raising their own 5- and 3-year-old, and what it means to live out relational health across generations.

Together, they unpack:

• 🌿 The uniqueness of navigating multiple family “layers” at once—parenting littles, supporting adult children, and stepping into grandparenthood
• 🎄 How conversations around holidays like Christmas shift when legacy and generational traditions come into play
• 👵🏼 The role of grandparents in relational health—offering support without overstepping, helping without hovering
• 👶 What’s different about parenting littles versus grandparenting (and how both roles sharpen each other)
• ❤️ Navigating relationships with adult kids as they step into parenthood, and why cheering them on matters more than critiquing
• 🌈 The emotional mix of joy, nostalgia, and gratitude in life’s transition seasons

The Vallottons remind listeners that family is never static—it’s always growing and reshaping. Whether you’re raising littles, sending teens into the world, or welcoming grandkids, relational health comes down to connection, presence, and legacy.
