You and Ledge πŸ™‚

There’s a biannual plant sale at the Springs Preserve - this picture is actually your second one there πŸ™‚. Make no mistake, living with your mom and me, you’re going to learn to love native desert plants (especially because of your mom - she loves all the plants).

While I’m not quite on her level, I’ve really grown to love them too - especially seeing how they’ve transformed our front and back yards. They bring in birds, ladybugs, hummingbirds, create shade, even add a bit of humidity. Honestly, plants are amazing. It still blows my mind how beautiful desert flora can be.

At the plant sale, I was giving you and Ledge rides in the wagon we use to haul the plants back to the car. You two were having a blast cruising around - just the cutest thing.

Love you, buddy. So much. Life with you, your mom, and our family is the greatest blessing I could ever ask for.
