Freya celebrated her first birthday yesterday. We visited grandparents and had a lovely day but suffered from a lack of sleep (she had an infection that made her cough and cry all night).

But wait. A year? It's been a year since days of pain and craziness gave up a purple, screaming package of humanity. The nurse said "Girl!" and I said "Freya!" A whole new life to love, educate and (probably) embarrass at parties. She's doing fine and I'm the happiest dad in the world.
