family night in
Weekend nights now consist of early dinners made up of toddler friendly foods & animal based bedtime stories. Some might yawn at the thought, but Julian is living his dream life.
entering the next phase
Eden is an inquisitive & clingy toddler who's ready to take on the world. Julian & Bea are happy to indulge her in any healthy way they can. For Julian that's fostering her imagination; for Bea it's working on her communication.
whimsy stories interior wips
eden's first birthday
This day came way faster than Julian & Bea thought it would! Bea bakes her first honey cake made from their beehives to celebrate Eden's birthday. They pull out the camera to capture as many memories as possible. Now it's time to blow out those candles and embrace the toddler phase.
i can do it too
Nurturing Eden in her infant days has brought Julian to a whole new level of happiness. He can't help but think it'll be so fulfilling to see how she changes with each new stage in life.
spring in bloom
Bea wastes no time of the first warm day of spring planting flowers and veggies in her new garden. She creates her first floral arrangement and feels so excited to have a new outlet for her creativity that includes her love of gardening.
a labor of love
Winter begins to thaw & Julian surprises Bea with bee boxes, a flowering arranging table, and planter boxes. With the house more built out they can settle into the back garden, getting closer to their goal of being more self-sufficient. Love day for these two always includes their love for nature.
a little assistant
With clients work to catch up on after the holidays Julian has to bring Eden with him to the community center to get things done. She mostly does great until she tries to crawl off, but Julian is right on her tail & Bea drops in on her way home to pick Eden up. Teamwork makes the dream work, ya know.
the end & the beginning
For New Year's Eve Julian & Bea are way too tired to go out anywhere so they stay in to share a toast & some much needed affection. Let the new year begin!
taking care of business
It's not always sunshine & rainbows, but looking at that little smile makes the dirty work a little less bothersome.
winter festivities
Julian & Bea like to keep it simple for the holidays - Julian is still a freegan after all. Despite not exchanging gifts, the Matos family share a grand breakfast spending quality time together. It's one of the things that fills Julian with the most joy in life. Grateful doesn't even begin to describe it.
crawling into the holidays
Julian couldn't be happier to have room for a tree this winter to show Eden the holiday spirit. It was mesmerizing for a moment, that is until she figured out how to crawl - look out Father Winter!
hard at work play
Eden sure knows how to keep Julian entertained. He's started playing lots of music for her when she's awake and her first words were babbling along to the record player. All that excitement leads to Eden's first creep & a nap right there on the floor.
making improvements
Their hard work has really paid off! After months of saving Julian & Bea are able to reach their goal of expanding the house. It's amazing what a little more space allows you to fit in. With Eden growing like a weed they'll definitely have to add a second floor, but right now they still want to always have her close.

a night to remember
To end off the birthday festivities Julian & the gang head into the backyard to enjoy unusually warm winter weather. Bea & Julian muse to Eden about the plans they have to expand the house. For now they use the extra space to capture some photos, so they never forget a night like this.
getting older
It doesn't seem like that long ago Julian was moving into Evergreen Harbor with nothing but a tent. Young adulthood brought so much more than he could've imagined. Today he celebrates the beginning of the next stage with his family & friends - bring it on!
on the move
Eden is sitting up all on her own these days! Julian thinks it's great time to introduce her to solids for the first time and although she's not too sure about hummus just yet, it was fun to try. When they're finished Julian puts Eden down to play. She's having fun learning new things, but still just wants someone to hold her & Julian is happy to cuddle her any time.
morning with mom
With no room inside the house for her easel, Bea has been having to go into the art studio to work - which has meant a lot of early mornings where she's gone before Eden wakes up. The burn out was really starting to hit so Bea decides to take a day off to stay home with the peanut. 10/10 recommend.
what we have is more than enough
Julian couldn't muster up anything super special this Harvestfest, but truthfully he doesn't feel like he needs anything else. He has Bea, who he loves more with everyday together & Eden, who just keeps surprising him with all she does. His family is growing in the home he built for them - Julian is beyond grateful to be at this place in life.
hitting those milestones
It's amazing to see Eden doing so many new things. Julian watches in awe as she conquers lifting her head and reaching for a toy in just one play session. After all that hard work, Eden ends the day having her first bubble bath with Bea. Look out world, Eden's on her way to doing big things! (just after this nap...)
out & about
Julian & Bea take Eden on her first outing to the local community center. They hope that she'll nap so they can both get some work done, but baby girl has other ideas. She's not sleeping unless it's in someone's arms. Julian takes the first shift - he might not be getting anything done, but Eden resting peacefully is more than worth it.
a day to remember
Eden is growing more and more everyday. She gave her parents the cutest first smile! She's even grown out of her newborn bassinet and toys have slowly taken over what little room they had left. No one seems to mind if it means Eden stays happy & healthy.
