1 year ago tonight....
We were waiting...not so patiently, because I was ready to get her out of me...but we were waiting...nonetheless... for Caroline to make her arrival. She was born at 3:33 am on October 1, weighed 7 lbs, 10 oz., and was 19 1/2 inches long. She goes for her 1 year checkup on the 15th, so I'll report back with her stats. I love my baby girl so much and I want to do whatever I can and need to do to make her happy. I just want to her to be HAPPY! I love my GOD, my life, my husband, my daughter, my family, my friends, and this world God has given us, and if God can just help me to instill in her how wonderful this life is, even with its ups and downs, then I believe that she WILL be happy. I have watched her laughs grow louder and louder over the past year, and have watched her personality unfold with such beauty and splendor and I see God's light shining through her every minute. I thank God for letting me be her mother and for giving me life this day to see her enter into her second year of life! Happy Birthday Caroline! (still no camera cord, but it's probably coming tomorrow...birthday pictures to come...)

WAR EAGLE!
Caroline's first football season and first Auburn outfit
I have the cutest picture of Caroline in a UAB cheerleader uniform that her PaPa gave her, but Ben has taken my camera cord to his office and I can't download it. Ben, please bring back my camera cord! I know everyone will LOVE this picture of our baby!! Being "a family divided", Ben and I promised each other before Caroline was born that we would not push her one way or the other...Auburn or Alabama. Ben has kept his promise (it was his idea in the first place) while I have sported her around in Auburn AND Alabama outfits. What fun would it be if didn't dress her up in any of it? She'll make up her mind soon enough and I am sure she'll be a smart little one and choose to pull for the orange and blue...but...in the meantime, Ben is happy with the UAB outfit, which is adorable on her, and whom we proudly support since Caroline's Uncle Spence will be a graduate of UAB before too long. Go Blazers! Looking forward to a great college football weekend!
