Don't faint, I have terrific kids. I homeschooled them all and they are very creative and fun to be around. Besides I am getting my life back. My oldest is 25 and my youngest is five so at least the baby stage is OVER!
Now I bake sourdough!

Having been on another planet for the last few months and in France for the last couple of weeks I came on this quote and thought, oh, we're back to who's got the most starters bubbling away.
Wrong again.
Congratulations - and I like the name Penelope (although we always pronounce it Penny Lope after Penelope Casas who writes great Spanish cookery books.
I'm not even going to try to compete with Teresa. Three is enough for me (or so it seems to me in my bleary-eyed state)
welcome back. perhaps we could convince you to share your baguette expertise in the[url=http://www.sourdough.com.au/forum//viewtopic.php?t=518]great baguette bake-off[/url] ?
Modified a cake I made [url=http://cindychris.blogspot.com/2006/10/dedication-service.html]for some friends recently[/url], here's my virtual gift for baby's Full Moon celebration...er...do you have that? May she continue to grow in a house full of love and glorious bread smells!
Yes, that hospital sucked. It was a university/government hospital...since Cindy (the mom) is a govt doctor. We were all very very sorry for Chris (the husband) that he couldn't witness the birth. Quite different from private hospitals.
Congrats to you Sourdom and the mrs and baby as well
I wouldv'e posted earlier but I don't get on the net much.
all the best to you and family

Bill, I am not sure whether life starts now (there is considerable philosophical debate about the moment of onset of 'life' or 'personhood', and whether it occurs at conception, or at some point thereafter. I tend to the view that birth is not a significant transition point in moral status, but I suspect after all that you were meaning something else by your comment.) This is my third. My life ended a long time ago...
I like to consider a baby as the closing of one chapter and the opening of another..... Now when you go out on a family outing you have more children than adults, it's a subtle but important change!

What a cute bun! I have nine myself, and I agree with you about YOUR life being over, at least for a while! They're worth it though!

Teresa, you deserve the greatest respect for having and bringing up 9 children...but homeschooling them.....you're a saint!!

Well I guess you could kinda say kids are like starters bubbling away.
I might have a go at the baguette bake off. How long do I have. Can't get to it until next week.

no rush Teresa. I think that it is going to be an ongoing project

In BOTH, it's all about the Timing
Mick! If you're baking anything, why not baguettes?

TP ... please explain? Sounds nice!!
We probably SHOULD have it!
Carol.
Awww - sooo cute TP.
Carol check out the link.
I just did, Carla.
It's fascinating reading about their experiences in a culture different to my own .. wonderful!
Although I don't fancy the hospital's birth rules!
Thanks, ladies.

I am very touched.
thank you
Dom
You're welcome, Dom....though I think a tiny Penelope would look perfect in a hollowed out loaf of bread.
Cutie!
Congrats!
Happy baking!

Congratulations to the proud parents!
Oooo....I can just smell her! Mmm...lovely baby smells. Congrats to Mr & Mrs Sourdom! Great job.
Hi Dom,
Congrats....
Dom, sincere congratulations to you and your lady.
Life starts now.

thanks for all your kind thoughts
