Letter No. 8 - First Words


Dearest Lance,

On Mommy's birthday, you said your first real word.
You said Mama.
You say Mama every time you want Mommy.

4 Years


Dear Sherick,

I am writing this while I have a few minutes to spare..

Pregnant in Lencois Maranhenses, Brazil

Our life used to be so easy..

Our adventures used to consist of climbing mountains and crossing sand dunes.

What happened to us?

Pregnant in Machu Picchu, Peru

Our life is not so easy anymore..

Our adventures now consist of dancing and singing during sleeping time and doing circus acts and comedy shows during feeding time.

Our life has become.. simpler yet more challenging.


Here we are.. Home on a Sunday afternoon..

Taking turns in taking care of the gift we have given to each other.

Seeing you being a wonderful daddy has made me fall in love with you even more.

Our life has become more beautiful..

Happy anniversary my love! :)

Love,
Mimi
