Happy Birthday - the gift.




Please join me in wishing my beautiful wife and new MaMa Susan a very Happy and special Birthday.


As I write this post I see from the corner of my eye Susan rocking Sophia for a nap - both peaceful and content. I have tried for weeks to think of a great gift for Susan's B-day and now realize the greatest gift happened on June 16th - the day we held our daughter for the first time. The gift of motherhood has been a blessing every day.


Happy Birthday MaMa! We love you!


Riz and Sophia
