OMGoodness! It's so wonderful to watch that little boy grow up! He's so lucky to be growing up the way he is in such a lovely home with such wonderful parents!

[@Jacqueline-ts1wd]

What a beautiful childhood Ivar has being out in nature all the time instead of being stuck to a screen all day.

[@mariamunroe6861]

Like always , I feel like I just watched a movie..., A beautiful movie with beautiful scenery and beautiful People..., Skiing,, automobile, rock climbing wall and much more..., Oh Yes very special to try to help take care of our Birds....Thank You.

[@margaretcooke7016]

It is always so wonderful to see you. Ivar is growing up so fine. He is a very smart little boy. Living in the Firest us very good for him. He will have so much respect for Nature. Blessings

[@sandrasprinkle9540]

Do you all never have wildlife other than song birds? I'm 75 and we never had whitetail deer, black bears, turkeys in our area until about 8 years ago. Now we see them daily. With you living with forest all around I would think you might have to be cautious like us!

[@donnawebb6057]

Little Ivar is so adorable and Precious. You and your wife is doing a fantastic job raising him and God bless you and Your family. I can't say enough, how the environment is calming, tranquil and peaceful.

[@davidowen2396]

Your films and cinematography have a wonderful, ethereal quality to them. So peaceful..truly living life in the moment! Thanks

[@rosemariemchugh988]

'Birdsong is absolutely essential to life'. I so agree. Thank you all.

[@janetmorgan-rosen8096]

You are wonderful parents. Ivar is so lucky to have such engaging parents. I love this video

[@rosemariemchugh988]

You are just the most wonderful/giving/loving of families. Ivar is very lucky indeed and he has this inprint in him and he knows what true love means. May God Bless your family all the way.

[@debbiecryan4882]

Thank you for being good stewards to our Earth :)

[@GeorginaNZ011]

Thank you so much for another joyful watch! It is so heartwarming seeing Ivar living such a wholesome and delightfully simple childhood, something so many kids these days lack. Hoping you get lots more little bird visitors too!

[@mariettehamel12358]

Nice to helps the birds and extend the playground of Ivar... taking care of all living beings in your area is a blessing to see! thank you to share those lovely moments with us.

[@lindsayphelps1732]

Ivar is so smart. i love to hear him talk. he is going to have wonderful childhood memories.

[@merakitra]

My favorite moment is when Ivar realized he was being filmed, he looked at the camera and smiled, O... that was so adorable!! Also when he was learning how to skip, that was beautiful, good dad. Ivar is growing up, he put a smile on my face, every time I see him. Thanks for the video.

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

The bird houses are really nice. Our fine feathered friends will have a place to call home.

[@anniehawkins6321]

Outstanding video! I love them all! Ivar is so adorable! I love to hear him talk! He will be genius on off grid living! His parents are marvelous teachers! And role models!

[@monikacarless_wordwitch]

Tova, Mathias and Ivar, thank you for showing us the reindeer! Was so nice to see Ivar skiing, and the little bird houses. I hope you're enjoying spring, more sun and maybe even sprouting flowers in the greenhouse.

[@tomas5376]

Iver is growing fast. I love that he asks so man questions! Won’t be long before he climbs to the top of the wall!

[@janwilson3458]

To quote Ivar, “Oh what a forest”. Lovely.

[@catherinejustcatherine1778]

Thank you for the lessons about birdhouses, and for sharing your endeavors to build an admirable environment together.

[@karenfleet2287]

A young child’s dream ,your beautiful parents how blessed to have parents who interact with their children,instead of just telling them to go play😊🇨🇦

[@kathym6603]

What a little boy!! So purposeful and always participating.

[@joelleschmidt5944]

I sincerely hope that we have many little Ivar around the world , they will be needed to lead this new generation into the right direction

[@gertrudegiesbrecht]

I love seeing daddy doing so many things together with his daddy. Sure loved seeing daddy and !var skiing together and Ivar learning so quick. What a wonderful life style.

[@almutphilipp4057]

Your wintertime is really long, but so nice! In Germany we have temperatures of summer in May ( sometimes). I like so much your creativity and engagenent for your child. Ivar is a wonderfull boy! It's so sweet, to hear / read bis comments. Climbing wall and birdshouses are amazing projects. Ivar learns to live with nature and his little life is full of joy and love of his parents! That impresses me !❤

[@lorettabray1483]

Watching Ivar skiing reminds me of my grandchildren learning to ski as well. Thank you for a wonderful video.

[@mariegracesumbrado300]

We appreciate ur english subtitle so that we can understand each other😊

[@kathrynmoll86]

Loved this episode! Beautiful job on building homes for the birds in your forest, planning a garden, enjoying nature's bounty, and spending time with adventurous Ivar! Thank you for bringing enjoyment and valuable lessons into our homes! 🙏🏼❤

[@catherinelaffargue4418]

You are simply amazing people. I’m sure it’s SO MUCH HARD WORK to have your kind of life…..thank you for sharing anything with the rest of the world. Merci du fond du cœur.

[@judyschepp8748]

LOOOOOVE THE birdhouses and Ivar is adorable!!!!

[@MyHumbleNest]

A trail camera would be fun footage, but I understand the desire to leave it a pure atmosphere. Ivar has grown to such a fun young man!

[@ginny3282]

This is your beautiful story on how much you care for the birds and their songs in our world ❤

[@rosemariemchugh988]

Brilliant parenting.

[@clareoclareo2626]

That little snowdigger is so cute! My nephews would have loved that. Xxx

[@mariegracesumbrado300]

[@beatemichaelis6186]

Thank you very much for your wonderful videos ❣All the best for you three and the 🐾🐾🐾🐾 .... ❤❤❤

[@elizabethj.davenport8947]

Tova (I’m sorry for misspelling) I’m really glad to see you in videos. You bring a lot of good information! May your plants grow tall and bountiful!

[@soupedujour]

The best thing about your video which appealed to me, was your love of the existence of small birds. I find that in my life one thing I never tire of is watching small birds, just living about, jumping branch to branch, so alive, and listening their songs. As you said their songs is one of the most important things in life, and that I truly believe. In light of this, I offer you a genuine serious reverence, and I thank you for sharing your kind and nature loving thoughts.

[@g.christelbecker6349]

Happy Spring to you, and many more!!! Thank you for sharing...........

[@Babbajune]

Beautiful video! I am sure Ivar will master those skis very soon. ❤❤❤

[@ChristianeDuchastenier]

That's a wonderful time you are spending together with Yvar.He looks so cool and enjoys life quitely. For me, it's a time of great pleasure to see you.

[@MiddleEarthGirl75]

Thank you once again for inviting us into your special life. Love and blessings as usual from Eastern Ontario, Canada 🍁

[@brendag2891]

I love your videos, they are wonderful. I laughed when Ivar did his Happy Dance for the climbing wall!

[@suemcknight9051]

Love, love, love your birdhouses… funny that this year I am replacing my old semi rotting ones that need to be exchanged for new. I had to buy mine already made as I’m almost 80 & wouldn’t attempt making them myself any longer. I live in the northeast USA (state of Vermont), so I have a yard full of tufted titmouse birds, chickadees, nuthatches, wrens, robins, bluejays & cardinals. Was happy to hear that we share the same species & live so far from each other. Enjoyed every minute of this video. Each one you do enriches my life in one way or another. So, thank you…always.

[@frankscarborough1428]

Thanks for letting us see a little of you life. Ivar is such a curious and intelligent little one

[@bibbiblocksberg2031]

_thanks for helping the birds!! I recently learned that the song of the birds also helps the plants to grow! Isn't that amazing! 🙂

[@oanasimon1983]

So nice you're into climbing Mathias. I've been climbing for 17 years and it has been so good to have that in my life. Exposing Ivar to that at such a young age is so beneficial. Looking forward to see you projects on the spray wall :).

[@heidihill2361]

It's always a pleasure to see a little bit of you world and how you live in it.

[@dixieanderson2276]

As I watch this, we have a mockingbird singing at 1 am! Awesome work for the birds, wonderful parenting skills, and such an adorable, smart boy! Thank you for sharing your lives with us.

[@johnblake3863]

I can't believe Ivar has grown up so much. Such a cute guy!

[@soupedujour]

I love all you share…such healthy living …thank you.

[@sunshine8711]

thanks for posting. love the bird houses... yes nuthatches.... aka nutties! I'm in Nevada...roadrunners, quail and beautiful singing birds! Enjoy!

[@carolynspaulding6322]

I love how you are attentive to Ivar that is so important I still remember one time one of my little girls came up to me talking and then she looked up noticed I was not paying attention and walked away as soon as I saw her look, I called her back and told her I was sorry but I lost the moment she didn't want to repeat said, " it's OK Mama", I still cry when I think of that she is 52 now. That is so important.

[@thegroundedstarseeds]

As always a magnificent video. I loved these precious moments when Ivar is with family with beautiful music and reindeer, skiing with the cat, etc. So nice Mathias and Ivar could spend more time with Finnish family and it was a real joy to be with beautiful Tova a little more for gardening. Your bird houses are gorgeous and you make many beings happy! Ivar... more adorable than ever. I loved learning more about bird habits. Woohoo climbing fun for Ivar!! Gratitude for this wonderful video 💙🙏😊

[@emilymcclellan8988]

Love the videos of sweet Ivar! Blessings to his wonderful parents too!

[@ninasperry833]

Such a great video! Many blessings to you all! Peace

[@megfairbairn9876]

Your videos are wonderful!❤Thank you!

[@aliciathom9633]

Truly a magical play to live and for Ivar to grow up in! ❤️

[@katherinemcdaniel8446]

Also, that is such a nice climbing wall. It will be enjoyed.

[@francaperagine1295]

Siete fantastici vi adoro. Il vostro bimbo è stupendo. Che belli esempi di vita che date. Vera vita ❤❤❤

[@chrisj49300]

Thank you for bringing breathing space to my day

[@annemariemoormann996]

Thank you! I can now understand about half of what Ivar is saying :) He has a wonderful imagination and an inquisitive mind. Is he still reading about Pettson and Findus? I love how you make winter fun up north. We tend to stay inside and wait for warmer weather, but of course that’s not an option when snow lingers until June. Fingers crossed for the seeds in the greenhouse! Wonderful drone shots, Matthias, as ever :)

[@karenanderson9740]

Nice to see some of your spring time work and fun. Thank you so much for translating what Ivar is saying!! He is talking so much now and I love how he puts his thoughts together. Seeing his imagination in pretend play is a real gift!

[@isharalove2966]

I love hearing Ivar's musings on life! The Little Philosopher. ❤

[@davidwpinkston4226]

great photo of the nuthatch. i call them "upside down birds". two species (?) visit my bird feeder. the smaller variety seem to speak to me.

[@juneturner7964]

I always love the drone shots through the trees in all the different seasons.

[@gillbennett9784]

Another great film. Ivar is so entertaining. You are right the birds that climb are nuthatches. We have bats that roost in the roof of our house. It is a nursery roost so only mothers and babies and they are only there in the summer months arriving in March and leaving September/October depending on the weather. It is wonderful to go out at dusk and watch them flying out to feed. They can be quite noisy in the roof space above our bed with lots of chittering once the babies arrive but it has become one of the sounds of summer for us along with the birdsong. ❤

[@MimiPet]

I am fashinated how do you educate your small son, you are good parents, he will grow as a good boy!!!

[@TxgrlnGa]

We put sheet metal around the tree under the bird houses to keep the cats from getting into the houses

[@delilahcruse214]

Ivar is just precious. He is getting so big.

[@marybethterhaar4200]

Very clever. So fun to watch Ivar growing. Love your stories ❤

[@giuliapariz]

the little boy is always so cute. love watching this channel

[@leannemayor5755]

You little boy is growing so fast . Wonderful to see all the wild life . Xox thank you

[@pattypop52]

Sorry this is long, but, i can't help myself, you's are still the sweetest family i watch on yt. He melts my heart, every time. Loved the skiing times, reminded me of 20 yrs ago, when i skied with my 2 small grand children. Awww, when daddy gave him a pile of snow, for his machine to move !! too cute. Brilliant idea, making those bird houses with long boards & cut them into the many you wanted to build, genius . & the bottom like a flap so you can clean it out. 10 yrs, better late than never, i always say ! Tnx for the close up of screwing it to the tree, i was wondering how to do that. tfs xoxo

[@annamariavonschalien9346]

Så härligt att få följa ert harmoniska liv och vilken njutbar picknick ni hade ❤❤❤

[@louisetaylor3653]

I always look forward to your next video. Thank you! And I love watching Ivar grow up. He’s such a lucky beautiful little boy. You are a lovely little family!!!

[@anitanagahisa3049]

Ivar has a good imagination. He is learning about nature and animals too.

[@emmanuellebassi7356]

Ooh I love the ideas so so much! Ivar is growing up soo fast but he is so beautiful! Hope for you that garden will be growing up too! Hope to see you soon, take care of your beautiful family! 🤗😍

[@kristinastoltzfus6032]

Wonderful video as always. There is a bird in US called a Nuthatch. I enjoy watching all the different birds and listening to their songs. Best wishes on the plants in the greenhouse. It can be so frustrating hardening off the plants. I hope this works for you. 😊

[@RiDankulous]

The birth of a new cross country star! 😄 You have a fan in hot Tucson, Arizona. ♨😎☀

[@theresanoble1695]

Lovely video thank you! I think you could just keep the camera rolling and we would just love it! It is a privilege watching Ivar growing up in such a place. You are such good caring parents. I wish all children could know such a life away form the influence and noice of society! What a bonus seeing the herd of reindeer, thanks for sharing! Two good ideas I’m going to steal, getting a climbing wall for my Grandkids and building birdhouses with them! Excellent ideas. Ivar is very lucky, he will have a video diary of his life…that is amazing!❤ Cheers from 🇨🇦 Canada Great Lakes

[@ceciliavondehn4402]

A wonderful video of news and views in your forest world ! Thank you from a Canadian fan.

[@BarradaleFarm]

That climbing wall is epic! I think we need to add one to the side of our shed!

[@pinklady184]

Thank you so much for the beautiful Video...💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝🌼🌷☀️🌼🌷☀️🌼🌷☀️😊

[@juliettbarger8622]

Ivar is so adorable and growing up so fast. I remember when he was born. Such a lovely wholesome family.

[@katherinemcdaniel8446]

Where I live we put up houses for the birds too, for the same reason as where you live - poor management of the forest. We don't have so many trees because I live in the desert, near our southern border with Mexico. We have the big saguaro cactus and this functions as our large trees. The woodpeckers make the holes, and other birds use them. It is kind of you to think of what the birds need too. Ivar has so much to say these days. He is at a wonderful age and I can see he has much imagination. It's good he lives there with you guys, in the woods. It's the best way to grow up.

[@janwelch9311]

How much joy you bring to us, it’s a wonderful world you live in.

[@dijanam5408]

Nice video Tova, Mathias and Ivar !Thanks!

[@tonyblast4592]

Seeing all that snow in May really brings home how short your growing seasons is. In the South of France in April everything is in full bloom and we start to harvest full baskets of strawberries. Now at the end of May it's almost time for the first batch of hay making.

[@davidwear1461]

This gives me an idea for my grandson! You guys are exceptional parents❤

[@loispatrick2594]

I love seeing you all spend time together as a family. I miss those days when my kids were young! We used to go on a lot of family picnics year round here in Australia and play French Cricket after eating our food. We used to also camp along the coastline and would either walk along the sand or go body sufing or swimming, depending on the time of year. Often we would take our bikes too. Bushwalking is great here in the Blue Mountains where we live. Fun times!

[@janetflaherty9515]

Another beautiful video. Love what your doing for the birds🙂❤️

[@gertrudegiesbrecht]

So nice of you to build the bird houses, i have some bird houses too and love watching the different types of birds you have coming.

[@carolienhunfeld6788]

again, a good one ! with "the privethy of birds and Ivar "does one grow when leading the way ?" wonderful.

[@TheLostTowerDiaries]

Thank you for the beautiful video xx

[@barrbuff]

You're all adorable, loved this and every time you put out a new video!

[@kathyboudreau-henry1717]

All gardening is an experiment! I never know what my seedlings will do. I hope the greenhouse will help.
