This year was special for us in so many ways.
But it all starts from family.
This year our daughter started her first day of school, at the 3 year pre-preschool. She also finally became potty trained so the wife and I can now focus on health and get back into the gym with our daughter in Kids Club.
She also finally graduated to a real bicycle, and upgraded to her first full size big girl bed.
But alongside these amazing little milestones, it was also her first time having a personal invite to a gallery event, from
@dmitricherniak himself, where we all drew Ringers together, falling in love with
@ToledoMuseum , and really being immersed in her parent’s passions for this incredible art world and community we are all building together.
This is where our own personal milestones for the year also began, with collecting our Mask of Luci, “The Conductor”, to having Arya enter her very own observation in The Masquerade. She also made friends with and got to meet the next generation, as we got to spend time with more beautiful families like
@SamSpratt &
@MrsRachelSpratt,
@redbeardnft, and
@yatreda &
@joeyldotcom, and last but definitely the deepest, we’re very thankful for our friendship with
@Reuben_Wu and his beautiful family who are very dear to us.
This brings us to our new found friendships, where I finally got to hug it out with
@justinaversano , experience Glitchbox and IRL slot machines with
@_deafbeef , and collecting not only our first, but first three works of his with two Hashmarks and one Historical Event.
We also collected our first
@yatreda thanks to
@nguyenwahed with “Young Love”, which will certainly be the first of many.
It continues with being able to finally make so many IRL connections,
@pravijn @eli_schein @musicalnetta @benskaarx @nicedayJules @Klutch_NFT @lifeofc @RogerDickerman @paperbuddha @ArtOnBlockchain @Mad_Dog_Jones seeing an Everydays being made live three times this year with
@beeple and meeting a great friend
@thierrrrrrrrry whom I was able to collect a beautiful piece, “Jusqu'à ce que l'amour nous sépare”. And hangin with the homie,
@topshot once again.
These in real life moments and milestones make all the difference to how we treasure and experience this space as part of our life. We wouldn’t have it any other way, and can’t wait to see whats in store for us as a family, in 2026. Thank you all, so much, for the frenships.
Here’s a little how it started, and how it’s going… Looking forward to many more first of firsts. 🙏
To those like
@batzdu and
@funghibull and so many others that are welcoming little ones into this world, I hope you wake up everyday with a huge smile, as we have, knowing the wonderful life your children will have to look forward to, thanks to you and what you are building for them.
