Newborn Kade



These are the very first photos of baby Kade after she was brought home.  The back of the photos is also interesting - I will add a scan later.  Handwritten on them is the year 2500 and something, which is the year since the Buddha's birth.  Thailand uses the Buddhist calendar, in addition to the calendar we use.  You could ask my wife, for example, for her mother's birth year, and she likely will pause because her brain is trying to convert it into our calendar year.  However, if you are traveling around Southeast Asia and see their calendar, you might just think you have been transported 500 or so years into the future!
