Naomi learns to love bath time

Dear Naomi,

I thought these were some really great moments that I've been wanting to put together into a video to share.  We're all getting better with bath times, as you seem to be enjoying it more and more, and we seem to have a better way of doing things now.  We also spent Memorial Day at the park picnicing with Olive and Q.  It was a great day.  You, my baby girl, had a great day :)

love,

Papa

Dear Wife,

To me there are so many little things that you do to be a wonderful Mom that I don't even think you are aware of.  These fun little moments don't just give us all something to smile and laugh about, but they serve as yet another reminder at the mother that you are so naturally becoming....the mother I always knew you to be :).  

love,

Papa

Smiles

Dear Naomi,

Every now and again we get treated to you just being silly, but nothing is more enjoyable than watching you just lounge with us, smiling away.  I really think it is quite possibly the cutest thing in the whole world.  Literally.  Thank you for the smiles baby :)

love,

Papa

A very special Happy 1st Mother's Day!

Dear Nadia,

I never thought I could love anything as much as I find myself loving this family we created together.  I guess you can say that it's a reflection of the love that is shared between us.  This is all a product of such a strong bond that we have nurtured from years of growing together....a bond and love that will remain evident through our entire lives.  I can go on and on thanking you for being the wife that you are and have been, but on this special day, I just want to thank you for being the Mother that you have become.  Naomi and I will never let you forget that.

Life is quite amazing.  Look at this family we've created Chicky :)

love,

Charlie

p.s.  Now open your gift!

Singing Happy Birthday to Nadia

Dear Nadia,

What a great and busy weekend we had with Grandpa Tolik in town.  So busy in fact, that I literally couldn't find a moment to have an official cake for you on your birthday :(.  But there was no way I was going to let the day pass without singing "happy birthday" to you.  So what's the next best thing?  Your favorite soft serve ice cream courtesy of Pitfire :).  I love you Chicky.

love,

Charlie

This is what Papa does for a living

Dear Naomi,

I can't wait to one day be able to show you all of the wonderful movie's I've had the privilege to work on and see the look on your face as you watch them.  I hope this makes you proud of your Papa.  This is just one of the many movies we will see together and you can tell all your friends that your Dad made the Easter Bunny :)

love,

Papa

A glimpse

Dear Wife,

I try my best to capture these moments. My hopes are to create something that we will one day be able to look back and reflect on life as it was during this time. My hopes with all these pictures and video is simply to tell a story of the love that is my life with you. Although I can never fully capture the true image, I can at least offer a glimpse…..a breathing visual to what lives in our memories.
