Today Vincent & I celebrate our 6 year wedding anniversary. I can remember our wedding day like it was yesterday. Everything about it was perfect. I remember walking down the aisle with my dad trying desparately to hold my tears of joy in so my make-up wouldn't get ruined. I looked way too good that day to have a makeup malfunction! ;)
I am definitely a daddy's little girl (and a mommy's little girl), so having my dad by my side walking down the aisle at one of the most important days of my life touched my heart so deeply.
I remember exchanging vows with Vincent and being so extremely nervous that my top lip was so tight it barely moved! ha!! But seriously, I can remember every word I said, and I meant every word.
I remember our first kiss as husband and wife...it was perfect.
I remember walking down Michigan Avenue that evening hand in hand, in my beautiful wedding gown, with a smile from ear to ear...
I felt complete. I had my family who means the world to me, my dear friends and now my husband. I was so happy and couldn't wait to see what the future had for us and for the life we would soon create together...
Now, 6 years later, I am blown away with the life that we have built together. It is far more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Yes, we have our ups and downs. Lots of them...but that's what life is all about. Taking the good with the bad and learning from it and growing from it.
Ella, our beautiful daughter brings me more love, joy and happiness than I know what to do with-she melts my heart over and over. She is my little best friend and means everything to me! Jacob, our boy. Our little ham who I could cover in kisses over and over cuz he is just so darn adorable! Our happy little camper who is so calm and collected...he is up for anything and everything! His love for life and everything around him is so contagious. I love them both more than anything and I will forever be thankful to be their mommy.
Happy 6 year anniversary my love. I love you so much and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for us! (Perhaps another baby...or 2?!!!) ;)

Ella's swim class was cancelled today, so instead we spent the morning at the park with friends!

Last weekend I flew to New York for Christi's bachelorette party! What a weekend it was!!! It consisted of...







Above are the tshirts that I made for our wine tour! Not too shabby!

Momma is proud! :) Okay, let's get real...anything my kids do makes me proud! I am a big mush ball when it comes to them!
We are bummed that Ella's tball season is almost over :( But we are looking forward to seeing what the next sport Ella is going to try out!

Last weekend our wonderful Aunt Elissa came to visit us! What a special treat!!! I was out of town at my sisters' bachelorette party for most of her visit (more on that later), but luckily I was able to spend Monday with her before she had to catch her plane.
Ella was so excited to see Elissa that she asked me everyday up until Elissas' arrival, "how much longer until Auntie Elissa gets here??!!!" :)
We love you so much Elissa!!! Thank you for coming to see us-we miss you already!!!

Ella is becoming so comfortable in the water...just last week she moved up from Starfish to Blowfish! She (and I) was so excited!

Ella and Jacob love going on trainrides. It could be the cutest thing watching them together sharing a seat. Ella always puts her arm around Jacob to protect him and off they go. They smile, they laugh...I watch Ella lean into his ear and say something, and the next thing I know they are both laughing and smiling ear to ear. Pure joy.
