Dear Ezra,
You have been around the sun, enjoyed all the seasons, taken your first steps, spoken your first words, and made many hearts joyful. You bless us daily with your humor! your sparkly eyes! and by being YOU. For your birthday we had a picnic, ate mile-high chocolate cake, planted a chinese apricot tree given to you by nina and a nectarine tree from nona. We had birthday flowers, cupcakes, and empanadas. You opened the loveliest handmade and thoughtful presents from loved ones. You ate the phone while wonderful Rachel talked to you from Hawaii. Dada played the guitar and we all sang.
Thank you for being born my amazing little sir.
All my love and best wishes for your second year,
your mommy
