"A photo of my little man, once a week, every week, in 2015"
 
Reece, watching you explore and enjoy the natural world makes my heart sing. One of the things I hope you leave our home with, when the time comes, is a deep connection to nature, and an understanding of your place in it. I think we are well on our way.

  1. This is one the most important things for us too. I really want my kids to feel connected to the outdoors, and comfortable when they spend time outside too. It's a priority.

    1. I think it is such an important connection to have for so many reasons. Happy to hear we are not the only ones that feel this way. I wish more people did.

  2. I always feel everything is going to be okay when I'm out in nature - especially down near the ocean.

    1. Thank you Cory. I agree, so very important. Hope you get out for that camping trip. I have taken Reece over the last four summers, a few times each summer, and he loves it. We have no plans to do any camping this year, but I am already feeling the pull to plan a little one. I will have to see how the summer unfolds.

    1. Awe, thank you my friend. He found both, tadpoles and frogs. Such an exciting time of year.

      PS Did you happen to get my email?

  8. He always looks so at ease in your picture, like he just knows that all that is around him is also a part of him. I don't think you'll have to worry too much about his love of nature. You are doing such a great job with him mama. xo
