Adeleine,
Our first year together hasn’t been easy. I’ve learned more about myself in the last 12 months than in most of my previous 38. You’ve joined our family for some of the lowest lows and the highest highs. You, my dear, one-year old, are one of the highest highs. It’s incredible how, even at your age, you can just brush yourself off and move on:

I’m looking forward to more Daddoo Dates with you. P doesn’t get those to herself. We’ll have some more times. I promise that there will be plenty to eat. So, forget about eating dirt (sand)

and anything else.

I know where we can get some awesome eggs Benedict.

Yep, it’s out there. I’ll get us there if you’ll just hang on…


You’re amazing…


Maybe we can share…

Happy Birthday, sweet girl!



I love you, Jeffrey, and i love the family we’ve made together…
Absolutely beautiful.
