Happy Yuletide to you all! Atlas has been the greatest gift of 2020 and a true anchor for joy in our worlds. It is so easy to lose sight of what is important, but this little guy has highlighted what truly matters amid all the politics, fear and worry...community and togetherness. May you find time and space to connect in meaningful ways with your people and if you aren’t sure who your people are... may they find you! Merry Christmas all!
Thanks @jaimesharp_adventures for the encouragement to get this Mama back in her boat!! I am so lucky to have a supportive husband in @josjourneytheroamingnomad so I can get on the water and ride some waves for the first time in a year!!! It seems as though it’s just like riding a bicycle-except I’m on the water and in a kayak!!!
Today I got to spend the day with Jo and Atlas for their first Father’s Day together! We went down to the beach for fish and chips and had daddy dip Atlas’ feet in the ocean for the first time!!! This was his “paganing” - like christening but slightly different. The water was cold, but he’s like his dad...brave in the face of cold water! I love these two boys and feel so lucky to watch this man become the most amazing father!!! #soinlove
We are so excited and proud to introduce Atlas Saundowal Hives who arrived on May 27th, 2020. In true Kate and Jo style the birth was an epic 50 hours long, filled with excitement and at the end Atlas rocketed out into 3 pairs of waiting hands.
36 weeks!!! New little human is coming soon!!!
Standing in solidarity with the #wet’suwet’en at BC Legislature today. Come if you can, peaceful protest, community solidarity... take care of each other!
