What a joy to come to DC today and be with Caroline (and her parents) for her first birthday. She had a little party with her daycare buddies at Sonia's (cupcakes, balloons, and 'dancing') and then her dad made wonderful soup and chocolate cake with one candle on it and she was all eyes as we sang 'Happy Birthday' to her (along with some church friends of MA's) and then she opened presents. But mostly, she just showed us how good she can walk across the room, and ride her 'airplane', and give us that great big toothy grin.

She's a doll! and I'm so glad she came to us one year ago.
