Beatriz Ellize G. Infante, our firstborn, came into this world on Dec. 20, 2014. We fondly call her Ellize.

We were so happy when Edwin and I found out we were having a girl. We consider her as our blessing, and the most precious gift the Lord could give us for Christmas.

Now that she is 7, we want her to be a good and studious girl. At her young age, we already see her as very responsible, and she already has dreams -- which we know she can reach, someday.

May she continue to be malambing to us, even as we grow old, and be a good role model to her sister Liane.

We love you and happy 7th birthday!

Love,

Daddy, Mommy and Liane.
