By the way

I have to pinch myself when I think about the fact that we just celebrated our daughter's first birthday together, in our home. It still doesn't seem real to me that we already went to China and came home again...this, after four years of waiting! The baby has found the mirror, and loves to look at herself and play peek-a-boo. I find myself staring at the two of us together in the mirror, and wondering, "Is this really REAL?"
