For Alexander. Alexander, in this video you’ll find photos and video clips from our time living in Barcelona. We arrived in April 2015 and lived on Carrer del Torrent de l'Olla (https://goo.gl/maps/6BiqySEyR7dRC6uz5) in the great section of the city, Barcleona. We’d walk the streets exploring the city, taking in all the sights, enjoying the food and street art. Malia would enjoy the long walks. A month later, we moved to a few streets over to Passeig de Sant Joan (https://goo.gl/maps/1DzE68fatEH3Dt5e7) and continued to explore the city. I started working at Norwegian at the airport soon after and would travel to the airport each day to work. But then everything changed: we were pregnant with you! So we looked for a place to really call home, a place for you to be born and grow up in. That’s when we moved to Sant Cugat del Vallés (https://goo.gl/maps/h6xdqReWQoD7XqNv9) in October 2015. You were born a few months later on January 18, 2016 and it was the greatest part of my life. It was the perfect place for you to grow up with our large outdoor space for you to play, the garden where I grew the zucchini which were your first meals, all the great fruit trees we had, close walks to to cafes where you and I would go on the weekends for breakfast, and most of all the great Parc Central where you and Malia had so much fun. I took a lot of photos and videos of you at this time because I never want to forget all the happiness you brought to my life…and continue to bring every day. You were very young, so I don’t expect you to have many memories from our time in Barcelona. But I hope with this video, you will get to relive what that time was like, both for me when I arrived in Barcelona and then our life together in the wonderful Sant Cugat. You’ll find photos of my walks on the streets, in the parks, photos of your childhood, your time at school, trips to the beach, and of course our dog Malia and how happy she was when you came into our lives in Sant Cugat. I’ve lived an exciting and happy life, Alexander. But it was nothing until you came into my world. I thank Barcelona and Sant Cugat daily for playing in role in bringing you into my life. I hope you watch this and love our time together in Barcelona as much as I did. I love you, Alexander! by Matt Peloquin
