One year ago today


Nothing like having a toddling Thunderball afoot to make it impossible to keep up with a blog. It's been one year since the quiet, solemn little Aliya was placed in my arms for the first time, wearing a little bonnet and sweater. I am as a teary at the memory as I was at the time. I sure do love my little baby girl, who insists on being less and less of a baby with each passing day.


And now for some catch-up photos.


The week at the beach with the Keisters in August:

























At a Delphin House reunion at Sam & Julie's:











Showing off Big Girl skills and attitude (not to mention sign language), since starting preschool in September:











On a recent visit to Pittsburgh to meet Uncle Charlie and Aunt Claudia, who are returned from living in Rome:










Her first halloween:













And braving the freezing rain to see her first Obama rally last week:













And last of all, compliments of Sal..... it's Aliya-Cam!
