Shiloh at age 10 months

I've been going through the childhood photos.
Fresh out of college, and poor as churchmice, we camped from May to the end of September
all through Shiloh's first Summer.  He LOVED it.  But when we moved indoors
a week before his first birthday he would bang on the window and yell to go back out! 
We had no idea it would be quite so "formative"
and he would spend the rest of his life more outdoors than indoors.

 

That's about the Size of It
