2007 is summed up for me with this photo. My life changed almost beyond recognition on 23rd July 2007 when we were so lucky to be gifted with the most precious little babe to nurture, raise and love. It continues to be the most incredible journey, and I am so thankful that Sophia is part of our lives. I don't know what we ever did to deserve having such a beautiful little creature placed in our care. She is wonderful beyond description.

Here is to a happy 2008 for all of you who read my words; I wish you good friends, laughter and contentment in whatever you do or wherever you are. If you find one hundreth of the happiness we have found with Sophia, then you will be very blessed indeed.
