Ivars is adorable! He will grow up to be a well-balanced, nature loving, responsible adult, but hopefully not too fast! Enjoy the present moment and the little joy in life.

I remember when Ivar was born! COVID was a huge concern, and you guys did the birth at home. It has been a joy watching the little boy grow and thrive.

Happy (belated) birthday to Ivar. Who doesn't like tractors and hamburgers?!? :)

[elainehinton]

Happy birthday Ivar! I can’t tell you how many times I have watched/listened to his 3rd birthday video. It is so peaceful and I often listen to it (hit play and put it face down) when I cannot sleep. Some nights I don’t make it to, “I am not a boy, ” … or, maybe, to Mathias’s interjection about wondering what he is doing sharing this. Please keep sharing. I love your videos. Your honest, real, simpler life is very inspiring! Thank you for sharing!

Happy 4th birthday Ivar! Happy spring everyone!

[RachaelLines]

I hope he had a wonderful birthday, watching him build legos made me have tears in my eyes. Seems like only yesterday I watched him being born. Thank you both for allowing us watch your beautiful son grow. ❤
