[birthday blessings]

Today we celebrated K's 1st birthday. It's also my birthday :) As the birth of G and subsequently K marks my entry into the 30s, by default that makes my 30s life-changing-ly incomparable to my 20s. As i approach the mid 30s, i look back in wonder at how the days and months just fly by. By and large, i'm a truly happy person. I don't really regret anything that has passed, and i always optimistically (maybe too optimistically?) look forward to what a new day will bring. I get up every morning with a joy that i've a really happy family, great parents, wonderful husband, and totally fun and cool little girls. Via this blog, and through lots of online sites, i've also managed to 'know' so many nice people! So, it is with a lot of joy and gratitude that i would like to say - Thank you! - for being in my life, making everything worthwhile. :)
happy birthday little K! :) you're 1!!! (gosh, was it already 12 months since that 1st moment we met?)
