Happy Birthday. I can't believe the little Meredith I met at Holden Beach what...19 years ago?...is all grown up with such a beautiful family. I hope your birthday was a wonderful one - and I hope your first Mother's Day with your little boy is spectacular. Oh - and how do I get Helen to send me cake for my birthday? :)
