Memories saved – priceless!

A special shout out is in order to the Mommy behind the scenes – 90% of photos and videos you see on the blog are done by Christine. Sitting down each evening and seeing what she’s captured is one of the best parts of my day.

1. Hangover

(Hangover actually passed our previous #1 video of all-time – Maile Yoda!)

On a personal note, this blog is a part of my routine now and as I mentioned above, I love doing it. The moments of reflection it gives me today are worth the time alone, but when I think about the story that is being pieced together for the future, continuing is a no brainer. For those of you who read regularly, I hope you enjoy the adventures of our little girl and that more often than not, she brings a smile to your day!

All our best on the eve of 3,
Matt, Christine and Maile
