Toronto posts have been interrupted today by the birth of our amazingly beautiful, talented, and awesome niece. Yes, she is only 1 day old, but she is all of those things. Here is miss Mae Margot Larsen in all her sweetness. Born today at 12:59pm weighing 8lbs and 19 inches. She’s gorgeous! Can’t wait for all the fun ahead of us…

CONGRATULATIONS DAN & MON!! xoxo

Proud Papa Lars:

After dinner with our new Toronto friends we decided to go see the famous CN Tower. We were literally running—racing to get to the top of the tower to catch the sunset and get some sweet photos of Toronto at dusk. While running to the tower (that was 3 miles away), we saw this little nook and stopped for this photo. We took 20 seconds to take a few photos and we were off. This will forever be one of my favorite photos of my love. I’ll race the shadows any day with him.

About the title: “Same, Same but Different” was a saying that Matt and I would hear when we were walking the streets of Hong Kong a few years ago and it’s been an inside joke ever since. Canada felt so much like the States in so many ways with subtle differences.

Watching her love is inspiring. She is so full of life.

Ask and ye shall receive…

Gosh, I wish there was an iPhone designed for babies. We’d be the first in line to buy one… and Life would be the happiest human on the planet.
