Mama’s got a new pair of shoes….. April 24, 2008

Yep – red Mary Janes…and they look soooooo cute on me!  I am not bragging.  You must understand that my cross to bear is life is HUGE feet.  I was teased as a child, called Bigfoot, the whole works.  But I rose above it as an adult and made peace with my size 10 and a half feet.  I could still find cute shoes in size 10.5 or 11.  THEN  I had 3 kids and it’s TRUE that your feet grow half a size with each child.

SO now, I wear a size 12 women’s and the only shoes I can find in my size and price range are nursing loafers or disgusting men’s sneakers.

My solution is European shoes.  They make really great shoes, in bigger sizes..and they cost a fortune!!  No joke – those adorable Mary Janes set me back over $100.  But I don’t care…I may have the feet of an Amazon woman, but my shoes are cute!!!!!!!!

Musings…. April 12, 2008

Me: What color should we paint the new playroom? I’m thinking lime green and chocolate brown.

Abe: Mama….I’d be delighted if we painted it purple.

My sweet middle boy. He is my heart and soul, my challenge, my love. He is such a boy’s boy. Yet on Sunday, he took his doll Superstar to church, dressed in a baby blue fairy costume. I love him so much, my heart aches…………………..

SPRING! Have you finally arrived?? April 11, 2008

It finally warmed up a bit last weekend and we took a very long walk with the kids and my gorgeous nieces and nephews. It was so fun to take photos outside and not have to dodge the rain or freeze my tail off!

I am so excited about our Wonder Blink schedule this spring and summer and were are booking up pretty quickly!

Here are a whole slew of shots from our walk:

These cousins LOVE each other so much – we are truly lucky that they are so close.

Isn’t she beautiful? Claire will one day be a performer or on stage in some capacity…mark my words!

Love my dad….love my gummyworm.

Writing in the sand…

Miss Sassy Pants

Jake….or one of the Beatles???
