you are beautiful ....




breathtakingly so.


there are moments that i stop, look at her, and inhale, while my heart skips a beat. where did i ever turn in the right direction to be blessed to have this incredible angel on this earth with me?

have you ever heard the line 'heaven must be missing one of their favorite angels .... you're here with me.'

so true.

so.very.true.

i know she is mine, and of course, i know that i am biased. i recognize that any mother, regardless of the beauty they *see* in their kid is blinded by the love in their heart - that which makes the beauty be ever-present.

but
she
takes
my
breath
away.

she is gentle, and kind, and nurturing, and silly, and fun, and a rare treasure.

and i get to call her mine.

a gift.

i hope to unwrap for many, many years to come.

thanks, sweetpea. i love having you to call mine. i love being with you and sharing me with you. i love the way you make me feel when i am around you. i love the way you touch my soul. i love the way you find your music, and hear your song with the beat of our hearts. i love the way you love your daddy. i love the way you make this house your castle, one with your knight in shining armor.

i love you, sweetie.

xxoo

She is really, really beautiful.

And I hope you print this post for her, for when she's a older.

Great, great post. It's one of those posts that makes the effort of blogging worthwhile!

She really is gorgeous, and has a great personality to boot! Gotta love it.

What a great Mom you are, to recognize the beauty in your daughter and to let it take your breath away.
