We love these kids with all our hearts. Do you remember them from past videos? We met the Ramseys on the road in 2020, unexpectedly finding ourselves camped next to each other in both Colorado and Washington, then we planned to camp near each other in Oregon! They were with us the day we bought our property too and we're so glad they're with us again! Mom, Melisa, and Dad, Ross, are the most inspiring parents. I've linked some of our old videos together below!

I unexpectedly began naturally miscarrying at 13 weeks 4 days and later learned that the baby had not lived past 8/9 weeks. Though the baby was not alive, the placenta continued releasing hormones that made my body think I was still pregnant for an additional 4-5 weeks. We have needed some time to understand, grieve and work through this loss but will be back soon.
