Karina's First Birthday!

Karina celebrated her first birthday on September 5th. Everyone had a nice time at her party and Karina was happy. Thank you to everyone who was able to attend (despite the bad weather) and we also look forward to seeing everyone at the benefit dinner next week.

I can't believe that the dinner is almost here. The response and support has been overwhelming but very much appreciated. Words can't express how thankful we are to everyone involved in any way.

I created this short video with some of the highlights of her first year. Please take a minute to watch the video and drop us a note on this blog. We would really like to hear from you. :-)

Dear Fernando and Melissa,
Your video of Karina's first year is beautiful. She is wonderful and a real gift- how cute! Both girls are beautiful.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and I think of you all the time.

Hi Fernando & Melissa,

I just watched the video of Karina's 1st year and I just have to say that she made me melt when I heard her laugh. What a wonderful sound!

Karina is very lucky to have such wonderful parents who are patient, love her unconditionally, and would do anything for her. You guys are truly blessed in many ways.

I am so happy to have met Karina the other day. We'll see you on Thursday at the benefit dinner.
