a new year

Dear Sofie

It's New Years Eve. Your first. As I type this I'm rocking you to sleep, holding you close in the darkness and feeling your little tiny bits of hair on my cheek. This time last year your dad and I were having dinner at Taj Mahal, celebrating what we knew would be one of our last dinners out for a while. This year, we're waiting for Thai food to be delievered. When you're a bit older we will carry on a tradition from my family, having a family fondue on New Years Eve. I'm excited for that.

This has been a big year for us as a family. We became parents, we bought our first house, and in a few months I will be starting my own business. I feel so fortunate and so grateful for everything that we have and all of the love and support that surrounds us.

For 2013 I hope for continued health for those we love, patience to see you through your ups and downs, some financial security for your dad and I and for a little less hate and sickness in the world.

And for you to wake up tomorrow (after a GREAT nights sleep!) with a full set of teeth.

Happy New Year.

Love Mama
