Bo Kenneth Wilcox finally arrived January 10 of this wonderful new year.  Global warming seems to be coming to an end at his birth, as temperatures have been wavering between the mid-20’s to the upper 40’s.  Maybe it’s the warm glow of that precious face entering this world, or maybe it’s that he’s half Swede and just can’t live without a little snow.  The forecast today is for possible snow, even if it doesn’t stick that’s a record in one 30-day period in east Texas.  Don’t worry Bo, you’re parents and your Farmor (formerly known as Mamou) will see that you are skiing in the fluffy white stuff in a couple of years.  There’s always New Mexico or Colorado nearby!  There’s also Mom’s homeland, Sweden, where she promises she learned to ski at 3.  I’ve skied with her and know she’s not exaggerating.

There are so many exciting outdoor experiences we want to share with Bo.  Dad will be taking him on the traditional LaBelle Ranch trips for a little bird hunting (or photo safari if Ika has anything to say about it:)  Farmor will be swimming, floating the river, paddle boarding and kayaking with him until he’s old enough to prefer his friends.  I know that will be sooner rather than later, so let’s get Bo to Diamond Beach soon!
