🎉🪵 TODAY WE’RE CELEBRATING THE BIG 1-0! 🪵🎉
Today Sebastian officially hits DOUBLE DIGITS! 🥳💚
When we started By The Roadside back in 2019, this wasn’t really a “business” yet. It was just a little hobby, a pile of wood, and an idea.
And right there in the middle of it was a little boy who had just turned 4 years old, following Dad around everywhere he went. 🥹
As the years passed and that little hobby grew into what By The Roadside is today, Sebastian grew right along with it.
He started out carrying pieces of wood and following Dad around the wood pile. Then came helping split wood, going through inventory, riding along on deliveries, stocking the firewood stands at the end of the driveways, cleaning up and jumping in anywhere an extra set of hands was needed.
And now? He’s learning to work the firewood processor. 🥹💪🪵
Watching him go from that tiny 4 year old wanting to do everything Dad was doing to a 10 year old who actually knows this business, understands the work behind it, and takes pride in being part of it is something pretty special.
Our business was started because of our children to build something for them, provide for them, and hopefully one day leave something behind for them.
But Sebastian has truly been at the heart of it from the beginning. ❤️
These pictures get us a little emotional because they don’t just show how much Sebastian has grown.
They show how much we’ve grown together.
From following Dad around the wood pile at 4…
to working the firewood processor at 10. 🪵💚
Happy 10th Birthday to one of the hardest working little members of the By The Roadside family. We love you more than you’ll ever know, Sebastian.
Everybody help us make his day and wish Sebastian a HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY in the comments! 🎂🎉
