Woot!

Another Happy Birthday Kaiwen Bethke!

Amazingly enough a year ago on your birthday we went to go see a new Star Wars movie, just like today. And we will get some sushi - just like the day we met 17 years ago!

What have you done in the last year?

You have learned how to swim! And now you are learning SCUBA diving from me!

We have travelled to how many new countries and islands? Antigua, Barbuda, Anguilla, St. Kitts, St. Eustacia, Los Roques, Bonaire, Curacao, Aruba, Jamaica and now the Caymans!

*You* have travelled to Amsterdam, Belgium, and Iceland!

You got your first tattoo along with Kyle's first in Aruba and my second.

You have cooked amazing meals while on passage crossing the Caribbean Sea for your 4th time.

I cannot count how many artisanal items you have knitted in the last year.

Honestly, Kaiwen, I think we are getting much better at all of this as we grow older!

This next year together will be the best yet!

Love,

-Erik
