1 year

A lot can happen in a year.

You can have a baby...





You can think that baby is going to be skinny and gangling...



but then she turns into this...



You can pack up all your junk...



And fly around the world...



You can land in Papua New Guinea...



See some weird things...




And some scary things...




And some awesome things...




And that baby you had can turn one...



And you have to buy her Cheerios and Baby Shampoo for presents...
**Because 1. They are too expensive for everyday life and 2. there are no real toys here





And you can realize that on that day a year ago when you thought you couldn't possibly be happier...you were wrong. You can be happier. Much happier...and sweatier...




The End.


**P.S. If you can guess how much the Cheerios and Baby Shampoo cost in U.S. dollars, there will be a prize rewarded to you! Mom, you can't play since you already know...also you can't play if you live in PNG, because that is not "guessing" it is knowing...painfully knowing.

  1. Y'all really do look happy, and that makes the pain of missing you easier, not easy, but easier. Missing kisses and hugs: giving and getting.

  2. Sorry, people. But I already have a winner! Debbie is a genius and really fast! She posted $30 on my fb page and is now the winner of a $5 Target gift card!

  4. We couldn't get Cheerios in Oki, so I have no idea. However, I paid about $8 for the smaller baby shampoo.
