Today our dear Gabriela Mercedes Anli turned 1. We could not be more excited and proud to be able to spend this day with our litle treasure. We like you so much my baby that words are not enough to express the feeling. We also thank God to have given me the gift of faith again. For me, this year was one in which I finally was able to let go from so much stuff in my life and to really believe that maybe, somehow, things happen for a reason. God works in many mysterious ways, I guess, and for me being able to hug and kiss Gabriela every day and to blow a candle for her 1st bday, makes me really believe. Sorry for writing cryptically, but many of you will probably understand what I mean.
Carta para Gabriela (esta va en nuestro idioma):
Gracias Gabriela. No sabes lo felices q estamos contigo y la alegria q nos brindas cada segundo q estás con nosotros. Como madre, no hay dicha mas grande que ver cuando los hijos de uno se ven felices, por lo que ver como Seba y tu se han integrado, me colma de felicidad. Eres la pieza del rompecabeza que faltaba para completar nuestra familia. Te amamos con todo nuestro corazon, y eres la hija de mi corazon. Naciste tan dentro de mi corazon como si te hubiese tenido en mi vientre. A veces olvido que no has estado siempre con nosotros, asi de mucho te queremos en casa mi vida, y es que asi tambien nos has hecho sentir vida mia, como que no podrias imaginar una vida fuera de nuestro hogar. Y como siempre le he dicho a Seba, papi, mami y Seba te aman con todo el corazon y hasta el infinito, y espero que un dia cuando leas esto te agraden estas palabras, y recuerdes esos primeros meses con nosotros.
I baked a lemon cake, which Gabi loved. Gabi loved the whole blowing candles thing and the singing. We also gave her an inflatable aquarium that can be filled with balls which she loved. She got into it with Seba and it was pretty exciting to see them playing together.









Que Linda's palabras!
