What an interesting and unique date, 12/12/12, is. I’ve heard of people wanting to tie the knot this very day, while others have thought of ways of spending it in a memorable way. For me and my family though, today simply marks a year (or an epic milestone) since we left our home as a married couple only to return back a week later with a new member of our family, our precious little Kai.
The past year has been spectacular in so many different levels, but the one thing which no doubt stands most has been the privilege of witnessing Kai change day after day over the last 365 days. From seeing him learn how to turn onto his stomach, all the way up to learning how to crawl around everywhere. From seeing his first little white teeth show up, to seeing him stand up on his own, climb things, swim, and start attempting to take his first few steps. From seeing him cry and scream, to seeing him laugh and smile. From seeing his facial expression show amazement at the simplest of things, all the way up to seeing his personality shine through computer and TV screens on opposite sides of this planet.
It’s simply beyond description... and I feel that after having experienced it first hand, we’ve really come to appreciate more than ever, just how much our own parents have enjoyed the process of seeing us grow! Furthermore, it's also been eye-opening to realize just how much they had to adjust their own lifestyles in order to provide us with the type of care and attention needed for us to to grow up and become who we are now.

I’m sure I could write an entire book on some of the many highlights of this year alone! Suffice to say that Kai is doing fabulously, and has no doubt changed our lives in a uniquely beautiful way. I so look forward to continue seeing him grow and doing my best to guide and protect him as my beautiful wife and I walk on on our own journey through parenthood. Particularly since we are now just a little under twenty weeks to go before our family’s newest member’s arrival! :)
Not much else can be said other than a very deserving BIG THANK YOU to the Universe for all the incredible blessings.
Rock on.
