Welcome to sweet Caroline's blogspot! For almost two years now, Caroline has been the spotlight of my bragging in the blog. Her only child status has changed and Caroline is getting a baby brudder! Rather than write two blogs, I am changing the name to include new bubby Ben! What a blessing these two children are in my life!

Ben Got Showered



The sweet ladies from MES hosted a shower for Ben and Mommy Thursday, Jan. 24th. Mrs. Libby's room was sweetly decorated and full of the nicest gifts ever! As the teachers filled the classroom, we enjoyed some DE-lish cake and punch. Mommy opened the many gifts as Caroline entertained the guests. Caroline also did her best to wrangle a pair of scissors from a little desk! After some gentle but firm convincing that she didn't need the scissors, Caroline settled for some books from Mrs. Libby's library! It was a wonderful shower and thank you ladies for being so generous and kind in welcoming our baby Ben in such a special way.
On Sunday, Mommy's friends gave Ben a shower in the home of Mia and Mason Scogins. The table was chocked full of tasty delights... meatballs, cupcakes, fruits and dips, and outta this world good punch! As Mommy opened gifts, the ladies pinned Ben's new outfits on a clothesline strung across the windows! It was the cutest thing!! I appreciate the sweet girlies in Mommy's circle of friends, they know how to shower a boy for sure. Our BenBen is going to be the best dressed little man on Windy Hills!!

Twenty Months and Counting

For the last two weeks, I haven't been able to download photos to the blog using Internet Explorer. This has made Precious very cranky. It was suggested this week to download Firefox and try it from there. Well duh...wish I had thought of that sooner! Anyway, it worked and I'm back in bidness!!
Can you believe how Caroline has grown? It's just mind boggling that she will turn two years old in four months! Our Caroline is so comical, animated, funny, expressive... Each time I'm with her, she says or does something that is just brilliant! Words flow in garbled sentences, most I understand. Some are open to interpretation!
Caroline enjoys her stuffed characters, especially Kitty Tom and Pooh. They get hugs, kisses, and taken to bed for naps. Caroline dances and sings to her favorite cartoons and she can identify her favorite characters on M M Fun House, Little Einstein, and Doc McStuffins.
Granny says Caroline mimics her when folding towels. Granny snaps the towel into the air to straighten it to fold. Caroline does the snap and shake with a dish towel, sock, or whatever she can grab! She looks like she is waving a flag!
My special time with Caroline is when she wakes up too early from her nap. I try to get her to sleep longer by humming and rocking her back to sleep. Sometimes she will go back to sleep. Other times, she tries to fool me and I figure it out as she begins to hum with me...and that's the sweetest music to my ears.
