This spring we were cutting down the old dead grasses from last year and the boys were working on it with me. I suggested they make a fort in the back woods with the grasses. They asked me to help them out and I gladly accepted. Our boys help us remember what it is like to be young, carefree spirits. Deep inside of us all there is the little child we once were that has somehow been overshadowed by the man/woman we have become. Having these children to cherish, hold, and watch grow up helps us remember what it was like to be young and to stay young in spirit ourselves. It helps us to realize how fragile and dependent upon one another we all are. We need to get inside their little world from time to time and learn from them. We can learn to have a more humble and contrite spirit and lean on each other for support as they do. Never lose touch with your inner child. ~brett {baba}

This looks straight out of Where the Wild Things Are. Love it.
That last picture of your little boy; what is it? Both my boys sucked those fingers! I love your comment about playing. We forget that we should let go and remember the “child” inside us sometimes. Thanks for the reminder.
It’s so wonderful getting to know your beautiful family through jess’s point of view on this blog. Seeing the same sense of love and wonder coming through in your voice is so sweet. Thanks for posting Brett. It’s so easy to fall in love with the Z family :) (oh yeah, and your film work is gorgeous!!)
great images and wonderful words. thanks for sharing this Brett.
Oh, wow! How did I miss these? These are so pure and beautiful. Makes me almost long for fall since these have a very autumnal feel to them.
