Today I am thankful for the amazing year I have had as the mother of this oh-so-sweet baby girl. Yesterday was her first birthday, and I took this picture of the two of us. I am thankful to have a photo of us together, since we are always together, yet I always seem to be only behind the camera. I held my arm out and snapped this pic of us both. I'll remember this day forever: Julia played in the yard, discovering the hose trickling, and she spent a nice hour eating a leisurely lunch and learning to say the word "cracker." She likes her crackers with hummus! What a treasure the day was, and what a treasure this sweet baby girl is. Bye bye, infancy. Here's to growing up!
Happy birthday Julia! That first year goes by way to fast! She is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love that you share the same rosy cheeks. What a beautiful memory!
ReplyDeleteI had forgotten to look at your blog with all the busyness of the summer. What a treat!
ReplyDeleteThe tomato sandwich looks so yummy. It reminded me of the purple onion sandwiches my freshman roomies and I made in the summer of 1966 in Young Hall. The father of one of our roomies was a produce broker--he sold Clover Club all of the potatoes they needed for chips--and would bring us 25 lb. bags of onions. We were very creative in using them so they wouldn't spoil. Thanks for stirring a very old memory.
You should put a picture of today's culinary masterpiece on this blog.
Love,
