Back and Unloading

We've been busy {Bday Celebrations, Mother's Day, Wedding, etc.}  I've been slacking.  And Gwen, well she is just growing up by the minute.  I swear.  

Her vocabulary grows every. single. day.  And I adore it.  More on that in a later post.

For now I am going to have a day, or two, or three, of some picture unload on ya.

Here are some pictures from Mother's Day.

We went to brunch at the Renault Winery {near Atlantic City}.

There was gorgeous scenery, delish food, an informative tour, oh yeah, and some fabulous wine :)

Oh, she melts me.

She couldn't drink the vino, but she COULD eat the Chocolate, and oh, boy did she!

Yummy :)

I'll be back tomorrow for some Wordless Wednesday - Boardwalk Style.

Notes of Gratitude

I had a fabulous day today and I can't help but just feel thankful for so many things. 

Mom, 
    Thank you for all of the love, support, guidance, and reassurance that you continuously supply me AND my family with.  I truly believe that you cannot FULLY appreciate a parent, especially a mom, until you are one yourself.  To know that I am loved as much as I love Gwen is beyond overwhelming. I strive to make you proud and to be just as great, strong, loving and understanding as you.  
    Thank you for being you.  We love you a bushel and a peck! 

Love,

Your Baby Girl

Gwen,

     Thank you, my sweet angel, for being the best gift the Lord has ever given me.  My heart is SO full of love, unconditional love, and my life is FULL of purpose.  I've loved you even before your first breath and I will love you until my last breath. I promise to devote every moment of my life to making your life the best it can possibly be!  

     Thank you for the way that you love me.  It is so amazing that, although, you cannot actually say the words yet, I know how much you love me.  It's in the way you hug, kiss, smile, it's in everything you do.  You are a blessing.  A treasure.  You are my baby girl.  And I adore you.

I am so thankful to be your Momma.

I love you with all of my heart and more!

Love Always,

Mommy

Happy Mother's Day to all of you Mommies!  Hope you had a great day!

xoxo.
