How Ellie Learned the Word "Up"

Absolute Perfection

Happy Mother's Day

I want to extend happy mother's day wishes to all the mommies who serve as examples to me, particularly Ellie's Yia Yia and Grandma, who really should co-author the book on what it takes to be THE BEST MOMMY EVER.

Yia Yia, the extent to which you sacrifice for your family truly inspires awe - you are the reason I know how to attempt everyday to mother with my whole being.

Grandma, you seem to have an endless capacity for love; you make everyone feel special and cared for - you don't seem to divide your heart amongst your family; it appears you just grow more and more of it for each new person who comes along.
