Rehearsing for First Dance Recital

Caroline will dance in the number "Get Your Jammies On"

I think she'll be comfortable on stage.  She definitely knows how to pose.

Perhaps 'pointe' is in her future

Mother's Day 2011

I am SO blessed to be a mom.  For so many years, I thought that I would never be a mom.....I've never married and have been career-oriented.  I have finally found a balance in my life.  I still love to be a professor and work with university students.....but my main purpose in life is to be a mom.  I could not be more excited for that!  Here are some pictures from today's Mother's Day celebration.
