Hi Raya, Neo, and Louis. So good to see you all. Missed you a lot. You guys deserved a break to enjoy time with friends and family. It was so emotional seeing the birth of Neo again. Looking forward to what 2024 has in store.
It just made my day to see that you have a new video out. You brought so much joy to me during the month of December. I looked forward to each day to watching your daily vlogs. So excited to see where life takes you in 2024. Sending love to your beautiful family! ❤
It’s been super unique and different to be able to watch a baby grow in these extra early months. As someone without children nor many friends with children, I’ve learned a lot about stages of infancy/babyhood :) thanks for sharing with us! Been fun to watch and learn!
This is truly the best video. I'm only an occasional watcher of your channel and with how much content you both put out (and how much you have going on in your lives) it can be really hard sometimes to keep up with all of it. But this video was just the perfect encapsulation of the past couple of years of all the key things you have been dealing with and the growth you've had personally, etc. Not only was it an awesome recap video in practical terms but had so much heart and hit all the right notes in the right places. Well done you guys and thanks for sharing! :)
What a gorgeous compilation of memories from 2023! Can’t wait to see what 2024 holds for you. Looking forward to sharing in all your adventures and Neo’s milestones. 🤗
What a beautiful year! Let's hope your visa arrives soon, Raya! Can't wait to see you on a plane with Neo, on a beach, on the tree-houses in Alegría. Is going to be awesome!
Thanks for all your hardwork into putting this video collage together. You did a great job summing up your year. I have seen every episode mentioned, but there is something special about seeing a retrospective with a voice over that just adds to the delight. Ever since Vlogmas ended, I have been binge watching your earlier vlogs. I am all caught up now and can't wait for new content from you guys!
Thank you so much for the beautiful recap. I look forward to your videos whenever they are posted. Extra big thank you for doing the Vlogmas. That was a ton of work. Happy 2024 and hopefully happy traveling. That Visa is taking an incredible amount of time! Hugs from Canada.
So excited to see you here this Sunday! Beautiful family recap. Can’t wait for the next visit with Kara & Nate and Eamon, Bec & baby girl! I believe you all deserve time off but it’s boring here on TH-cam when it occurs at the same time LOL ! Looking forward to seeing you all soon!
Thank you for your patience! It’s been a wild start to the year, that’s why it’s taken longer than expected to come back 🙈 will explain everything in our next video!
Beautiful video. So loving and exciting. Neo is precious, just a gift from God and the universe. Sending massive blessings to you both. Thank you for sharing all year. And you have been blessed with that amazing baby. 🙏🏻💕❤️❤️
I loved your, Vlogmas during the holidays. Your Son, Neo is adorable. Happy to see your new video. I have missed the 3 of you. Also Cali. Blessings to you, and may this new year bring you happiness, peace, and grace.❤❤
I've only been subbed, (aware of your channel), for a couple or so months now, but since the start I felt a connection. There's something very special about you two and I actually got goose bumps seeing you again in this video. Thank you for all the vlogmas videos. They were wonderful! Wonderful that you had the time over the holidays to be with all your family gathered. ♥
I cried from the recap about Neo's birth. Wow, this video really opened up a channel of healing for me. Raya, I don't read the comments much but have heard through the videos about how much judgement you recieve. Watching this video, I realized I have been one of them, internally judging you. I see it as another layer of the suffering training we recieved growing up, battling each other. I want to put the most sincere apology out to you for ever sending you any judgements. I know that when we judge others, we are judging ourselves and vice versa. This is how we can begin to understand how we are one, how we are connected. So I don't know the reason for all judement from any one else. I can see how inspiring and magical you really are and that is probably why i held that for you. Instead of boosting you up in my mind and being thankful for another beautiful soul out there, I held this judgement. Thank you for always sharing yourself. I am here as a supporter. 💗 Sending a whole lotta love.
Your journey has brought so many emotions with every video. I feel like i have felt your rollercoaster of emotions for as long as i have watched your videos. Thank you for sharing your story and your life with us
BTW the vegan food at the festive looked amazing. I am also sorry to hear about your van. Neo is loved so much by so many. He is getting so big. Absolutely love you style so cute. So much all at once ❤
Happy New Year to you all and Cali. It was great to have a look back on 2023 wow you really did take us on a wonderful years adventure. I’m looking forward to seeing what is instore for 2024 ❤
Nice to see your years recap. Shame about Raya's visa, I expect you would love to visit Bec, Eamon and baby Frankie in Canada, looking forward to the day the 2 babies get a chance to meet. Have a great 2024, looking forward to seeing you all again and to see how much Neo has grown and changed.
Hi Raya, Louis, Neo and kally. Hope you had a great Christmas and Happy New Year with your family's 😊 loved Vlogmas it was amazing watch Neo do his first's of food experience, swimming lesson, Christmas 🎄, camping extra. He has changed so much, he mostlikely can walk now which is a great milestone. Enjoy your rest and cant wait to see what you have in store for 2024. 💖💙💙👦💙🐶XXXXXXXX
Loved this recap and I'm sure after Vlogmas you guys needed a break!!! I can't wait to see how much Neo has grown since we last saw him! Happy New Year to you all and I've been putting out all the good juju that you'll have great news regarding your VISA soon! xoxo
Happy New Year to your beautuful family! 🎉 We truly enjoyed the recap and loved the effort and sacrifices you both made to do vlogmas. It was a daily treat we looked forward to. Hopefully you both have rested up from that. Looking forward to your 2024 adventures and seeing Neo grow and change so much more this coming year. He is such a sweet, happy baby. ❤
Darn I was so hoping we would see Neo actually walking unassisted(I know itll be soon, if not already). Hopefully in the next video. Love you guys. Thank you for this recap
My heart is swelling once again. Your epic Vlogmas left such an indelible impression (you may have noticed from my comment lol). And now this wonderful recap. What a year. SO sorry for the bus situation, passport issues, the tough days leading up to Baby Neo's delivery etc. But, speaking of, I can't even with his pumpkin outfit!! Also congrats Louis on all your accomplishments last 12 months! Thanks so much for putting this together.
Neo born on the perfect day its my dads birthday and he is the most amazing man ever caring kind compassionate and my biggest supporter with what ever i have chosen to do in life even if its been a disaster aries boys are perfeft
Yeah, I enjoyed "The Magic Of C-Section." Not one labor pain, we got to plan when we gave birth instead of waiting, and my huge, "poorly positioned" baby which wouldn't drop and laid right across my middle like an interior belt didn't wreck my body. I don't feel like I missed a thing by not having a vaginal birth.
Regarding your passport issue. You need to tell them that you have no choice but to go to the police and report missing because you are concerned about identity theft. See what they say to that. If all else fails, you may have to do this in order to get a new one.
Not judging but is it good for a baby to be just vegan? Babies need more nutrition and protein and I'm just curious how much having him just eating vegan is good?
Yep, there’s tons of research showing that vegan diet is healthy for people of all ages. Just like with any diet, you just need to make sure they’re getting everything they need (iron, protein etc) ☺️ some studies have actually found that vegan and vegetarian kids have higher iron levels, likely because it does take more conscious planning. For me, going vegan has helped me learn so much more about nutrition and building balanced meals when before I was just eating what I’d been eating forever without consciously thinking about it
It is between them and their pediatricians. My protein levels were low and this past year I cut down on meats and upped my vegetables and now my protein levels are in range.
not vegan, but I was raised vegetarian and my mom was even vegetarian when she was pregnant with me! I grew up loving fruits/vegetables without drenching them in ranch, and I still eat a vegetarian diet today! I was always allowed to explore other diets but I never wanted to!
Don’t think they are this way at all but this comment reminded me of the episode of house where the parents weren’t giving their baby enough protein cuz they were raising them vegan and didn’t consult a good dietitian and child protective services was called on them
I'm guessing you live in North America? If you go to India and other countries in South Asia you will see there are millions of familes that are vegetarian or vegan and they live linger lives, have lower cholesterol, lower % of diabetes. The west is brainwashed to believe we can only get healthy protein and iron levels through meat but it isn't true. Most vegetarians and vegan eaters are way more aware of what they are eating and the overall nutritional value of that food. That being said i am a meat eater. I eat fish and chicken. My ex husband was vegetarian and out kids were raised with both. All 3 of my children went vegetarian when they were teens. They are healthy and my eldest daughter was so healthy when she had her children she was a super milk supplier to the point she expressed for other babies that needed supplemental milk as their mothers unfortunately did nit have enough or lacked some nutritional needs. So in short... a vegan raised baby is most likely healthier .
Neo is blessed to have 2 beautiful compassionate souls. ❤
Beautiful recap over the year guys.
recap..... thank you
What a lucky boy to watch his life back!🤍x

Fellow vegan family here👋🏻love your videos, would love to see baby food videos 🥰💚🫶🏻

They are based in Brighton, and have land in Costa Rica.
