Pea-UKE!

I think we can put peas in the "No thanks!" column!  Winter squash, carrots, pears, prunes and mangoes have all been a success!

We're 7 months old!

We had our monthly photo shoot in the white rocking chair...we can't believe they are seven months old already...

There's no one like Nonnah!

So, I was standing in the kitchen a few weeks back, looked up at the side of the fridge and discovered Scarlett had another twin...my mom!  We have a picture of my grandma holding my mom when she was a baby and I couldn't believe the resemblance!  It was such a fun moment when I discovered this, that I had to share the picture. 

I also decided it was time, long overdue in fact, to take a minute and recognize just what an amazing mother I have and what an incredible "Nonnah" the babies are growing up with!  She has sacrificed more than I could have ever imagined in order to raise me and my sisters.  Constantly providing us with the Love, the support, the encouragement and the strength to become beautiful women who believe in themselves and go after their dreams, even if that meant giving up her own (although she would probably say we are her dream come true haha).  I know this statement is used a lot, but I honestly don't think there are enough words to fully express my gratitude for all she helped me accomplish and become.  The woman, wife and mother I am today are all because of her.  She has always been there to wipe the tears and share in the laughter of all my life's moments...big and small.  My mother is deserving of more than I could ever give her.  So, simply put..."Mommy, Thank You for all that you have done and all that you continue to do in my life (and the lives of everyone you encounter).  You are what every woman should strive to be and I am forever grateful and honored to call you not only my mother, but my best friend!"

Grams, I also want you to know how much I miss you every day...your pennies always warm my heart and make me smile. I Love you!!!
