In December, the couple spoke to PEOPLE about life with their two daughters, sharing that they’refinding their “rhythm” as a family of four.

“It feels like every day is a dance, and it has to be carefully choreographed for us to get to the end and all feel good about it,” Erin joked in PEOPLE’s cover story. “The wheels fall off around 5 p.m.”

“We’re just trying to find our rhythm,” she added. “We had a rhythm as a family of three, and now we’re a family of four. Mae needs things when she needs them, and so does Helen and so do we. It’s a challenge, but I think we’re figuring it out.”
