B is for Bagels for Breakfast; a Big, new Bakery opened in town.
B is for Braces, but no more for this Big Boy! Isn't his smile Beautiful?
B is for Boston. I love post-season Baseball. Go Sox!
And B is for Baby, our Bundle of love. We've made an album of things we do to keep her Busy. It's on the sidebar.
I know that last week was "D" week, so this should be "E" week. At Funschool it's "F" week . And at Serendipity, we went all the way back to "A" week and then we sent you plans for "B" week. But here, it's really still Birthday Week. And we're way tired of cake. Inspired by Sophie's beautiful "A"pple Pie, we made Karoline a birthday version for our sweetie pie.I didn't have a deep dish pie pan, so that daisy cake pan was pressed into service again. Something about daisies amidst this week's roses seems just perfect to me:-) Katie and Nicky cut out "KarolineRose" to go around the edges. 
The children painted their faces like animals in honor of St. Francis' feast. Then, there was cream to whip.
We had one happy sweetie pie!
Karoline was born a year ago today. And even now, after spending every moment of every day with her for 365 days, I can't get over the miracle of her. I can't begin to express who she is and what she means to me. Her life has been chronicled on this blog. We gave her big brother a big camera for his birthday just days before she was born. He re-paid us with pictures more beautiful than we could have ever imagined.
And she inspired words as well as pictures, though I've never been quite satisfied with a single post about Karoline.
She evades my expression. I tried to put together a slide show. But my technical advisor has left the house to get an education and a phone call for help just frustrated us both. So, please enjoy the Baby Archives and say a little prayer for Karoline on her very first birthday. I'm off to smile through my tears.
The Baby in 1993 and The Baby in 2007
Karoline received a package in the mail yesterday--her first pair of shoes with soles! Her feet were very happy and she sends along a smiling "thank you" to Mrs. Quigley.
Now, I really look forward to Michele's promised tutorial!
I'm Elizabeth. I'm a happy wife and the mother of nine children. I grab grace with both hands and write to encourage myself and others to seize and nurture the joy of every day. I blog here with my daughter, Mary Beth, a wholehearted young lady on the brink of adulthood.
