Overwhelmed

I'm overwhelmed.

You're only three and I'm overwhelmed.  

Overwhelmed by your humor.  

Overwhelmed by your spunk.

Overwhelmed by your independence.

Overwhelmed by your sweetness.

Overwhelmed by your gentleness.

Overwhelmed by your caring.

Overwhelmed by your toughness.

Overwhelmed by your light.

Overwhelmed by the joy you bring.

Overwhelmed by you.

Your love.

My love for you.

No words could adequately explain the depth of my love for you.  Nothing I could say could possibly express the gratitude that I have in my heart for you.

  Out of all the little girls in the whole world how did I get the best one?



Happy Birthday, my sweet Grace.  I am so proud and honored to be your mama.  I love you with all of my heart. 

Love, Mom

    What a gift she is to you!
    And the spitting image of you, too.
    Happy Birthday, Grace!

    This is so purely beautiful, Kat! I know how much you wanted a girl...and she's ALL girly girl! I hope you're making these special pages into a book for her to keep forever. I know there's a company that enables you to do it! xoxoxoxo

    If at times we all happen to get "overwhelmed" by things in our lives, isn't it great though when it is being overwhelmed by one of the best things life has to offer us -our children and/or grandchildren? She's gorgeous, simply gorgeous!

It's impossible to put how we feel about our kids into words...that is a bit overwhelming:) Looks like it was a fun birthday!
