Feeling immense gratitude for my employer @sportsbasement as I return to work today. My wife, 4 month old and I spent the past 3 weeks traveling ~2,500 miles through some of the most meaningful (to us) places in California and Oregon. We drove, we hiked, we slept in our pop-up camper, visited friends and enjoyed that wonderful mountain air. Paternity leave is truly a wonderful gift and I'm grateful my work gives me the opportunity to take time off, travel with my family and watch my son develop into a beautiful little human. I'm one proud papa.

Just a 3 month old on his first backpacking trip to celebrate Independence Day. We believe he had a good time and wants to do it again (:

Another day of firsts for our little man. After camping near Kirkwood the night before he hiked on the PCT and saw snow! After a quick stop at Frog Lake, where his mom took a quick dip in a recently thawed lake, he got near Lake Winnemuca and nursed. Then he had his diaper changed under the shade of a large Sierra rock. It was a good day.

Out little man is quite the explorer. In 2.5 months of being in this world he has camped for 3 nights, been on a dozen or so hikes, visited a national monument and flown in a jet plane to LA. Photo 1: Muir Woods National Monument Photo 2: Muir Beach Photo 3: Big Sur

Happy first Mother's Day to my beautiful partner and wonderful mother to Miles. Grateful for her and grateful for my mom too. Raising humans is work! To really understand you'd have to do it yourself, like almost anything else in life. Even as a dad I feel I cannot truly grasp how much love and work mothers put into raising their young. In that spirit I wish everyone a very happy mother's day. Thank you for all you do every single day. Hope you all got outside and played today!

We took our 24 day old camping! He marveled at the natural world with his beautiful bright eyes. Then he slept. In the morning he explored the cove a bit more and heard the ocean for the first time. As parents we hope this is the start to a long love affair with the natural world.
