For me, the coolest party was watching Riley dig into her cake. I had been imagining that moment since Riley was born, and I cannot believe we've already witnessed it. I am continually amazing at how much Riley has grown and developed this year - and, how much she has taught me about life, the small miracles, the daily joys, the simple pleasures. I am amazed at how much her presence has enhanced my relationship with Shawn and brought us closer together. Most importantly, I am amazed at love's capacity to expand and grow with Riley in my life. I see her smile or reach for me and I know that the world is a wonderful, wonderful place - even when it's not.
So Riley, thanks for a great first year! And a wonderful party!
To everyone who came - thanks for joining us for a great night and for being there for us this year. It is true - villages are needed to raise a child, and you all are part of our village.
