the females in my life

today was my daughter's baptism and my mom's 61st birthday.
what a hectic day...
but what a blessed day!
i was reminded how grateful i am to have such a beautiful and loving family.
i know how silly this can sound, but my mom is undoubtedly my hero.
she has fought so many battles in her lifetime including cancer, and she stands even stronger today.
everyone is drawn to her warmth, her selflessness, and her joyful spirit.
i am so thankful kaila has such an amazing woman as her grandmother.
and my precious kaila - baptized into our Christian church.
i pray every day she continues to grow as a child of God.
any time i look at her, i can't help but smile - she is always smiling right back at me!

i love these two ladies in my life with every ounce of my flesh.
now why did i forget to take a picture of these 2 together today?
maybe because my 15-month-old kaila is always on the loose!
i guess this old pic will have to do.
