Here's to the next 10..

Happy Birthday Kai, Merry Christmas, Happy New Years everyone!

It was a heck of a decade and I am celebrating the fact that 2000-2010 was a kind decade to me. Uli and I met in January 2000, got married in 2006 and had our beloved Kai in 2008. Not bad work for a brisk and wonderful 10 years.

Here's to a healthy, happy, prosperous new year (and decade) to all of our friends and family. Kai will be 11 years old when the next decade hits (omg). On that note, here's to preserving his babyhood for a little while longer.
