#NorthShoreNewYears

We decided to spend to go to Hawaii before Kiara turns 2 to save money on a plane ticket...I think she liked it!

She's not just my wife...she's my baby mama!!!

This post is dedicated to Noriko. When I decided to start this blog, I told myself that it'd only be photos. This post will be the anomaly. Noriko has endured so much before the pregnancy, during the pregancy from morning sickness to heartburn to Kiara kicking like she's doing P90X Kenpo X to the 24 hours of labor and the crazy delivery. I'm not the writer in the family so I'm not going to attempt a poem or a song, nor am I a painter so there'll be no mural or painting of her, so here's my attempt to thank her...I couldn't have asked for a better wife, BFF, baby mama and teammate!!!

Thank you Noriko!!!

Love D!!!
