Matt--A Great Dad-to-Be

Kristin says, "Matt is the love of my life. I am grateful everyday that he is my partner and best friend. He lives as he believes and has passionate convictions, especially about the way animals, the environment, and people less fortunate should be treated. He's so smart--a keen observer who enjoys discovering new things and sharing them with others. But Matt doesn't take life too seriously; he loves to play and be silly, making great impersonations and all kinds of funny voices and songs.

Hot chocolate, orange juice, and churros in Granada, Spain. So yummy!

The child who calls Matt 'daddy' will be a lucky kid. He's devoted to his friends and family, making sure that birthdays and other special occasions are meaningful. You can always turn to him in a time of need. He will be a great role-model. I know he looks forward to soothing our baby with a song, hiking with our toddler in a backpack, and teaching our son or daughter to love the ocean as he does. Fortunately, his job will give him plenty of time to devote to being involved in every stage of our child's life."
