The Shoes Make the Outfit

Mommy!! More shoes!

 (Emme kept doing the sign for more, then picking up her shoes and trying to hand them to me-

 a first for her as of today).

I simply can't wear this diaper without these shoes! Now where are my sunglasses and hand bag?

A girl must have her accessories :)

A Parent's Prayer

Psalm 25
Show me the path where I should walk, O Lord;
point out the right road for me to follow.
Lead me by your truth and teach me,
for you are the God who saves me.
All day long I put my hope in you.
Remember, O Lord, your unfailing love and compassion,
which you have shown from long ages past.
Forgive the rebellious sins of my youth;
look instead through the eyes of your unfailing love,
for you are merciful, O Lord.
The Lord is good and does what is right;
he shows the proper path those who go astray.
He leads the humble in what is right, teaching them his way.
The Lord leads with unfailing love and faithfulness
all those who keep his covenant and obey his decrees.

The Countdown....

We have a few countdowns going on at our house!  Our little Emme Lou is inching every day closer to turning 1 (August 7th)! Wow! Does time fly?  Really, I have started to believe so.  

My best friend has a countdown going on too- so therefore it is also my countdown (what are friends for, right?)

She is due with her second baby on August 15th.  So we are all wondering... who will make it to the countdown first? Will it be the new kid on the block, or the birthday girl?

Either way, I am thinking there should be cake involved! :)
