The Adventures of Bodhi Bear: a child's view of 2018

Bubbles … horsies … choo-choo trains … and a big surprise.

We take so many of our experiences for granted. As time passes, even those things you once considered incredible become a part of the ho-hum

But not for my soon-to-be-three son, Bodhi.

That kid lives life to the fullest – taking every moment in with awe, wonder, curiosity, and joy. He also is a beautiful reminder to take a step back and appreciate the amazingness of everything around us.

Since 2018 was all about family, who better to narrate my annual “year in photos” post than Bodhi Bear himself.

Bodhi runs on a beach in Santa Cruz

I love the beach

Can we go outside now?

Sunset at our house

There are stables that we can walk to and feed carrots to the horses.

I'm surrounded by redwoods

Hi starfish!

View from my backyard

Dada pulled the car over and took this one day

I stepped in that pond. In my shoes. It was my favorite.

I live with mama and dada in Santa Cruz

I love the lighthouse

Train tracks are fun to walk on

We went camping here with all my friends

I try to go to Henry Cowell as much as possible. They have a steam train. CHOO CHOO!!!

Dada always gets a pretzel here

I love the log ride at the Boardwalk

I can climb the gate and open it for you, dada

We visited Grandma in New York City

I saw a lightning bolt from grandma's balcony

We got to ride in the Roosevelt Island Tram

The Queensboro Bridge reflects in the East River in NYC

Dada loves this bridge

New York City is so big!

Dada grew up looking at this view

I drove an ATV in Montana.

My son, Bodhi, runs down a road at Sky Ranch, MT

Wheeeee! Montana!

I went camping near River Junction

Sunset over Seeley Lake and the mountains beyond.

We watched the sun set over Seeley Lake and the mountains beyond.

This is my life.

Oh yeah, and, um, so …

My Brother or Sister is coming real soon.

Our two kids

Happy 2019!
