Caroline's 7th Birthday

On August 14, 2000, Caroline Elizabeth was born. Carabeth, you add so much to our family. You are like the exclamation point to our sentence. One of my favorite memories of the day after you were born was Daddy and your brothers huddled around us on our bed in the hospital, Chase kissing your head over and over, and Colin's fascination with "petting" your soft head. I don't know which one of us was more excited about you.

We had a family celebration on her birthday, and a celebration with her friends on the weekend with a waterslide party in the backyard.

Happy Birthday, sweet girl. I love you so much and I am so proud of you!
