Richard and Linda Eyre look back on their lives and talk about differences and similarities that they notice throughout the many stages and transitions of their family.

Whether it be trying to contain a rambunctious toddler, shuffling children to and from extracurricular activities, or trusting a teenager still learning to drive, the Eyres talk about the importance of finding joy in the "serendipity" of the present and warn against living in the past or looking forward longingly to the future. Live "opportunity to opportunity," not "crisis to crisis."
