How the years have flown by. My sweet, cute and bright baby.

Always smiley and cheerful. Aiji obsessed, she still loves icecream to this day.

Somehow she grew up overnight and became a little lady.

Gosh how did ten years go by in a blink. The best decade ever.
R and I always talk about the kids when they were small. The early years were definitely not easy, but they were also filled with indescribable happiness.

Double digits. Saitaoha is now ten, a cool as cucumber, elegant not so little girl who is quiet, sensitive, brave and strong. Very set in her ways, meticulous, gentle and careful.

Her grandparents are her strongest supporters. They give her such a solid foundation and they are her sanctuary.

Her cousins and her sister are her best friends. They have a tight bond and are so strong together.

Happy birthday my dearest Saitaoha. Thank you for giving papa and I the most wonderful ten years of our lives. We love you so so much.
