utterly smitten

...with my two loves this Valentine's Day.  Eleanor and her daddy surprised me with this sweet necklace from Lisa Leonard Designs on Valentine's Day morning.  They were so sneaky!  There was a delicious pot of coffee and a plate of sweet treats waiting for me alongside the beautifully wrapped gift.  Eleanor's daddy is doing such a great job of teaching her how to melt her mama's heart!

about a girl

This is my Ellie Jane.  She is my delight and my joy.  In her eyes, I see the past and the future.  I see hope and love.  I can't describe how amazing it is to be her mother.  She is the only person in this world who truly believes I can do anything.  I am well aware of my limits, but to see yourself as limitless through another's eyes is a very inspiring thing.

She has given me wings.  And for that, I will be forever grateful.
