Birthday girl
[Posting this early since we'll be incommunicado next week...]
A year ago this Tuesday, after many long (especially for Gretchen) hours in a delivery room in Basel, Switzerland, Baby was born. What a year it's been! Between learning how to be parents, traveling all over Europe with her, and making a big move back to the States, it's been quite memorable. I can't say it's always been easy (she's been strong-willed from the day she was born...I'm already afraid of the teen years), but the blessings have far outweighed the stresses. And we're thrilled that this little peanut...
...who was for so long always serious and touchy, has become a much more happy, active, giggling, mischievous little girl! (Incidentally, not 30 seconds after typing that last sentence, Gretchen just came upstairs and said "do you know that our little girl is becoming quite mischievous?") Happy (early) birthday!
