Chinese New Year 2007

Dearest Ian,

How are you today? I hope it's another nice day in our little paradise...this time last year, Mummy was writing to you while you were in my womb, and as I look into your big round eyes I wonder in amazement at the year just past and how far we've all come. For you, in the last 11 months you have discovered your fingers and toes; learnt to roll, sit, crawl, stand and now cruise, learnt about the many beautiful things in this world we live in, and learnt to trust us, your family, to protect and nurture you for all time. For Mummy and Daddy, we've both come to accept and love you as an integral part of our lives and in our understanding of what's truly important. In many ways we have grown, and Mummy is really happy. :)

As promised in our thoughts last year, we are prepared with a cute red outfit for you on the first day of the lunar new year, and yes, Daddy will be home to parade you around proudly for red packets. Mummy has full confidence that you'll be giving your best toothy grins over the long weekend!

Gong Xi Fa Cai, Tian Tian Gen Ai Ni.

Love,
Mummy
