The Little Moments With Daniel

It’s been awhile since I shared a personal post about Daniel. I often post photos of our adventures on my Instagram (@ngjuann) instead. This was taken some time back. We went to Sentosa’s Family Beach – Palawan Beach. It was a lovely afternoon, not sunny at all. I was more excited than the little fella.
