One year ago, 7:14AM Erev Rosh Hashana I gave birth to an amazing little girl. The past year has been both the best and hardest of my life, and as I look back over it I know I have a lot to be thankful for. As I look forward to my daughter's second year, I know I have a lot to pray for. Happy birthday to my sweet little bundle of joy. May you have many more years full of happiness, health, love, wonder, and all the good in the world. Everyone have a chag sameach and a k'siva v'chasima tovah!
