Dear Marin,

I wanted to document somewhere that yesterday, September 2, 2010, you fully discovered the use of your arms and legs. ALL day long and into the night, you kicked and punched all over the place. It was really quite entertaining. And honestly, a nice change from feeling sick. Your dad even got to feel you kick around a few times. I'm glad you had a fun day moving around because according to the pictures in my pregnancy books, space is about to get a little tight in there. I'll be honest, it looks pretty uncomfortable, so move around while you can. I do promise that no matter how crunched up you get in there, when you do pop out we'll let you move around all you want. In fact, if you come out with a frisbee, your dad will be so pleased to play with you right away. But we are so happy you like your arms and legs....we like them too....

And today, September 3, marks the night of your parents' first date!! A year ago your dad came and picked me up at my apartment in Austin, TX and took me to a delicious Italian dinner downtown. We talked and laughed and talked and laughed. And that fun night led to a 2nd date and a 3rd and a Marin and a marriage....
Many, many people think we are completely crazy and insane for having you and getting married so quicky. And although we are completely crazy and insane (and lucky for you, you share our DNA), having you and becoming husband and wife are not the reasons for our insanity. This has been the most exciting and wonderful year of our lives. We promise to always love each other and to always love you. Can't wait to share the next years with you!

We love you-
Mom and Dad
