"Congratulations! Today is your day...."


"You're off to Great Places! You're off and away!...There are some, down the road between hither and yon, that can scare you so much you won't want to go on. But on you will go though the weather be foul. On you will go though your enemies prowl. On you will go though the Hakken-Kraks howl. Onward up many a frightening creek, though your arms may get sore and your sneakers may leak. On you will hike. And I know you'll hike far and face up to your problems whatever they are...So...get on your way!"(Taken from: Oh, the Places You'll Go)



HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY, PITA!
(Written memories from your delivery and your 1st birth day, along with pictures to follow.)

You had a beautiful birthday, little girly. You even wore your sister's beautiful Sri Lankan party dress from our friend Vanathy, who gave it to Maddy before her 1st birthday. Madge wore it on her 1st birthday. How special! Mommy made a lady bug cake , so we kept with a bug theme throughout and even your big sister got a lady bug puzzle from the library the night before. You enjoyed your day with some playtime with Moi and Addie in the morning, a nap in the afternoon, romping around the house afterwards and a quiet dance with Mommy in the livingroom. That evening we picked Daddy up from the train and came home for a yummy dinner followed by cake and ice cream, opening a few gifts from your family and friends far and near (what a big help your sister was in opening gifts for you...nice when the enjoyment is mutual.:)
