We always say “Jude was born to dilly dally, forced to pick up the pace” but when he’s outside he can slow down intentionally and we love that he has a space to do that. We live in Minnesota so we have the privilege of enjoying every precious season but Jude lives for slow summer nights in the backyard catching firefly’s and finding ways to build and create with materials he finds outside. He’s a master architect, a beautiful artist and a lover of animals.
