To beat the summer heat, we took Nina to the river to see what we could find.

When the news in the world is just too grim, watching Nina explore the beauty around her lifts my spirits. Thank you Nina Nd Geof.

@hevern Yeah, the news can be pretty grim, alright. Hanging with Nina is definitely our choice of escapism.

nina is so cool! she dare to catch the frog with her bare hand. i think i should go to her daycare to be as brave as her hahaha....

@exodus87 I think a lot of kids are brave like that when they are Nina's age, but then they become fearful later.

@redbluetangerine I had to train myself to get used to handling various creatures for Nina's sake, so it's never too late!

@missmuffey Also, we are older parents. I was already 39 when Nina was born. So, we had both worked for a number of years and were already somewhat financially stable by the time Nina joined us, which makes it easier to get by now on just my salary.

@missmuffey Thanks so much! We did try to both work full-time for a couple years, but it was too much, and not worth making Nina go to daycare for 11 hours a day, and always feeling exhausted. Now, my wife has quit her job and Nina is in daycare 6 hours a day, and we are more rested and fully enjoying our time with Nina. Plus, I get good vacation time so, yes, we are making time with Nina a priority. My wife may go back to work part-time when Nina is in elementary school. Good luck!
