That picture is soooo cute! I love the sound of that: "little shoes among big shoes." We found Oscar a little pair of Tevas that look just like Darin's. He is so proud to wear shoes like papa.
ok, i've been lurking on your site far too long -- enough is enough.
hi.
i started reading your blog like WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY back when you were writing with redbook -- and i've been rooting for you and your family ever since.
ahhhhh, yes....that would bring tears to my eyes too. How absolutely wonderful!!!
it's those times that I know how lucky we were...to have those shoes all over the house, to hear those screams of "MINE" and to feel those hugs and kicks. :)
The constant reminders of gratitude surprise me when I am least expecting it. It is often the simple things of everyday life. The other day my heart melted when I found a pacifer in my purse. I left it even though my kiddos no longer use them because it now belongs.
Many things are like that, aren't they? It's pretty wonderful.
I got to really appreciate fireworks again for the 1st time this year. I remember now why they are so cool. It's like being a little kid again - wonder and excitement abound, if you'll just take the time to really look around.
YES! I note this every single time I see my little guy's shoes next to ours, too. I never, ever take it for granted.
He just recently outgrew his first "real" pair -- from when we had him first fitted at Stride-Rite by the lady with the food-measuring thing. I put them away in a box to know doubt cry myself crazy over when he goes off to college.
Hope you guys have been having a wonderful summer!
I'm right there with ya. He's a miracle indeed!! I've looked at all the shoes on our stairs waiting to be carried up, and I've actually thanked God for our beautiful blessings.
Think of just how MANY little shoes will be there soon.:)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adorable!
