Earth Day Birthday (Again!)

Rai, Earth Day has come again and, this time, you are 1 year old! If you had asked us last year if it was possible that we could love you any more than we did on that day of your birth, we would have said: "Impossible!" Well, it turns out that anything is possible! You are the love of our lives, little boy. We love you so much.
Where has the time gone? It's obligatory to ask that question but it's also so true! You've quickly moved out of infant-hood and into toddler-hood although your toddling around is on hold until that leg of yours heals.
And....what a birthday it's been! You had a wonderful party with your crew of babies and nannies, Mom and Grandma at Rochambeau Playground in the afternoon, lots of time with Mom and Dad in the late afternoon and a visit from Grandma and Grandpa with food and gifts in the evening!
That's just the warm-up, too. The real partying will take place this Saturday in Sutro Park when all your favorite friends, aunties and uncles get together for a picnic and games in the grass! Count the days until that one, Rai! We definitely are.
(more birthday stories and photos to come; look for them all week!)
