New Year's Greetings! It has been a busy but very pleasant holiday season. We had so many nice weather days but I think winter is creeping in upon us. Went to our "secluded" beach area for a walk recently and to dip our feet in the gulf. Well you guessed it, when we got to "our spot" the three kids began undressing - they were ready to play in sand and in the water - I'm glad we had towels and two beach chairs in the van so there was no problem letting them play. Matt and I chatted as to how natural there freedom is. Of course there were people there (I suspect from their white skin many were on vacation) and all we received were affirming smiles. One other mom saw us and shortly thereafter her son, about 5, was also playing nude. I love to look at those tanned bodies enjoying life - glad we can join them when we are home... our tan lines are gone after two months. Well just wanted to get off a little new year's note before ground hog's day... peace and prosperity to all. The Five Bear / Sue & Matt

That was a wonderful story. Glad you got the confirming smiles and a copy cat in the process!

I don't have tan lines....because I lost my tan a long time ago! Haven't been out all summer. Been couped up this last year. But plan to make up for it this year.

We are still looking to move to Ocala, or at least Florida somewhere. Hopefully we'll find more time and space to live nude more often.

Catch the sun,
Boyd

Justed wanted to hop in with my belated holiday greetings to all. Will be back to college tomorrow, the time at home went all too fast back to my textile world - sure enjoyed being nude and home with my family. My sister and her husband spent some time with us over the holiday. Glad to get somewhat caught up - this site would make a great soap opera. Jen the news from you has just been wonderful - as it has been from so many of you. Jen from what I read you should take good notes on your vacation in June - might make a great honeymoon spot someday. Dr. Sherri thanks for providing those photos of Shelly and Jen - both are terrific. Scott guess the swim team will be in full gear soon - let me know how it goes I love swimming. Matt and Sue I hope my kids someday will be able to enjoy what your kids now enjoy - just being themselves. Nude Guy hang in there with your little sis - be open and honest with your mom. Mother of Twins in NJ I admire your openness with you neighbor - it really worked to your benefit so enjoy some nude time in your yard with your family this summer. I once went to Sandy Hook with some friends and I think it would work if you sat on the adjoining beach where your kids could be nude and you could be topless. Shelly, Scott and Jen together at last - sounds like fun wish I could join you on ML King weekend. Nudelyweds what can I say I come from a practicing CO family and wouldn't want to live any other way (especially in bed!). Well I am post-poning packing and leaving for college. Have a really wonderful nude year filled with peace and hope and goodness. Love, Meg PS In two months I'm going to have to change my name as I will no longer be a teen - nah, women don't have to tell their age, do they? Maybe I'tt stay nude teen two for awhile.

Dear Meg, thanks for asking about the swim team. Practice started yesterday and I slept well (and nude as always) last night. Will be doing both free style and breast-stroke. Season is February and March. I attend a junior high school with grade 7-8-9 together and I am in the 8th grade right in the middle, but I feel very competetive. Interesting to watch the guys in the locker room they seem so awkward changing or showering in front of each other - seems strange to me I kind of like to take it slow and even linger when I am nude. Quite a few of the guys have removed all body hair, I remember you mentioned having shaved as well. Might ask my mom to do a little trimming - not sure about the shaving just yet, although I like the way my sister and now my mom look. One of the guys commented on my all over tan - I just smiled and said yes, I lost my tan line this summer. Hope college goes well for you. I'm not even thinking much about college yet, but I do think I will attend. Better go study while I can keep one of my eyes open... Scott
PS/ I too thought the picture of Jen was great (and of course I knew what my sister looks like - she's really great too)

Hey Meg, I am so glad that you had a good time during your Christmas break and have some naked time and that you were able to visit with you family and your sister and her husband I now you are back in school but I hope we can all hear from you once in a wile. Scott toll me he is practing his swimming everyday and that he is tired at night I hope I can meet him and his sister in a few weeks at my house.Glad you liked are pictures I think it looks like what I think I look like - you now. May ask my mother to trim my bush to be a smaller trianlge like Muffin said hers is but wont do that until the warm weather when I can get a quick tan to fill in the white although I think I am tan all the way through just in case. I need to get back to class but wanted to say hi and dont study too hard. {{Meg}} luv, Jen

Hey Meg, It was good to hear from you sounds like you had a good Christmas how are things back at college? I never heard the word textile used the way you did I really liked that. I had an idear that you might want to pray about how about praying so you can attend a college closer to home and come home and be naked on the weekends or maybe even live at home and drive to college.I am really looking forward to are family trip in June it sounds like we will be in a private home by ourselves with a private pool and beach where we can be naked all the time and then we would have to go somewhere else to snorkel naked. As you wrote I will have to take some notes Dr. Sherri has been so helpful and I am glad that you like are pictures I liked them too and now I have a picture of Muffin. Scott was so happy you included him in your e-mail he is a really nice guy I can't wait to meet him he said he looks like his sister only with shorter hair so he sounds pretty cute but I really like how he is to people. Pray that the wether is warm for the time when Shelly and Scott visit. I have been trying on different outfits (textiles)for there visit I have a pair of these new short shorts which I can only ware at home and need to ware my thong underwear and may be pull over t shirt like top. Getting colder here too my parents have been allowing me to be naked more and more around the house and it feels really good and we hug alot. Speaking of colder I forget to tell you that I got a set of flannel sheets for Christmas and yes you were right they are really great. Got to go to class but its Friday {{Meg}} luv, Jen

You could have done that on the edges of my creek down below until a couple days ago. The week just before and after New Years was especially warm here in central Va. I continued my all-over tan with my nude hikes until yesterday. It's even colder today. The wind will die out and the sun will come to warm it up after lunch to at least our normal of 40+. Can still go nude in those conditions.

Not as nice as being on a warm beach though.

Glad the kids are setting a good example. Hope they don't get withdrawn as they get older.

Too cold for me! Where 'bouts are you in Va? We're in the SE. Live in Gloucester co., work in Newport News.
It's in the 40's here, too, after a weekend in the high 70's. On Sunday we went to Va Beach, and you are right: it WAS nice.
God Bless

We live just west of Charlottesville. My property goes down to Ivy Creek, flowing along west of C'ville from north to south.

ALMOST took my clothes off after my walk yesterday while I was working in the sun on a couple of shower doors that I use for tops to cold frames. It was really warm in the sun.

. . . just plain fun. Thanks for including us with the update. Children deserve to be enjoyed, but lots of times we get so uptight about having them behave "just so" that we forget to just enjoy them while they have fun.

It's obvious that your family is going to have lots of good times in 2004.
