Flashback Friday

William's baptism made me wistful for my other baby. How is she 3 and a half years old already? We've had so much fun sharing pictures, videos, and memories with Caroline of her special moments as William hits his milestones, but it makes me want to have baby Caroline back, just for a few moments. Don't know how I'll stand it when there is no longer a baby around. Here are some shots of Caroline in her baptism gown.

These pictures bring back some of my happiest memories in Colorado. I remember this day so clearly - Erin and Sarah came over to play. Caroline had just learned how to sit up, and Sarah was almost there. Erin pulled out her camera (this was in her amateur days - who knew then what would evolve?) and we were having so much fun taking pictures of Caroline, she ran home and got Sarah's dress, as well. We have a HILARIOUS video of the two girls rolling around in their diapers. Sometimes it is hard to believe there was really a time when Erin and Sarah were just a few blocks away, always ready for a play date or an adventure. We love you, girls.

Also, I love my babies. How lucky am I? Sometimes I just can't believe I am getting to live the life I always dreamed about.

I was just telling my mom yesterday how much the picture of William in his gown reminded me of Caroline. That's really the first time I've seen such a striking resemblance between the two of them. It made me happy...and sad. I miss Caroline as a baby and I miss you down the street and I miss watching William grow up. But I love finally knowing that after all the years together and the wondering what it would be like when we weren't any more - it's still the same, we're still the same. Love you and miss you my friend!

I miss that bald baby, too. Miss you.
