Can we still call you that anymore? Now that you are a full one-year-old? We were the fortunate first ones to hear the news that you were on the way and rejoiced with your parents that they too would know the fun (and craziness) of close-in-age siblings. We were all excited to find out that you were a girl and counted the days until you could join your brother in playing on the foot of our stairs. I even got to be there for a short time while your tough-as-nails mommy managed your labor pains and your big brother snoozed away, oblivious to what was to come. The first time we met you was bittersweet--we held and cuddled you but then also had to break the news that we were moving away from Pittsburgh. We then filled the next few weeks with fun and kept promises to stay as close as we were there. So even though we don't see you nearly enough, we love you, Pretty Gail, and can't wait to see you in just a few weeks. I think Mali has even forgiven us for passing her binkies on to you.

Thanks for such a sweet post and for the birthday wishes. We're still sad about that news you broke to us that day!
Can't wait to see you in a week and a half! We are counting the days.
