Oorah!

This Sunday we spent a very busy day visiting. We spent the morning having brunch with Uncle Thomas. Sunday was the day he left for bootcamp and will be the last day we see him for 13 weeks. Now we are counting down the days until Sept. 21 when we fly to San Diego to see him graduate.

In the afternoon we celebrated Baby Cal Capote at Aly's shower. Avery had so much fun playing with Capri and I loved being able to catch up with Aly since she lives in Southern California now. We even had some delicious cake and played some super fun games! Now if only Aly, Joe, Capri and Cal would move back to Napa I would have a good mommy friend to playdate with!

For the love of a child

Dear Avery,

I had always heard how the love you feel for your child cannot be compared to anything else. How it's different than the love you feel for your parents, your siblings, even your partner. How it is immeasurable.

I never knew how true this would be until I had you. The love I feel every time I look at you is astonishing. It fills my heart to a degree I never knew possible. I would go to the end of the world and back just to make you smile because your happiness is my happiness now.

Love,
Your Mommy
