12th birthday and we had a wonderful birthday weekend celebrating her last year of true childhood. Next year, 13--wow, how does it go so quickly?
As I watch her grow into her preteen years--expanding her horizons at school, pushing herself to move up in her dance class that she loves so much, accepting changes in her world--she humbles me. She has grace beyond her years, determination to make things happen, and a beautiful eye for seeing 'something in everything'.
I love the person that she is and I'm so honored to have been gifted this spirit from the universe.
Motherhood, with her by my side, has been my greatest gift. I look forward to each new chapter while slightly nostalgic for the one we are leaving behind.

Happy Birthday Somerset,
here's to a great
12th year!
She is so beautiful! God bless her. This time I am also planning to celebrate my daughter’s birthday at home only. Last time, because of the house renovation I booked one of the finest Venues in NYC for her birthday celebration. I booked the one with a pool, so that all the kids can have a good time.
