I started this blog a few weeks after getting married in July of 2006. At the time, it was just me, BJ, our lovable Labrador, and our evil cat. Here is how I explained this blog: "This is the chronicle of us all learning how to live together." Well, now it is me, BJ, a little boy, a baby girl, and a loveable mutt, and this is still a blog about us learning to live together.

Four Days to Go: The Shoes
Everything on Lydia is tiny, so it should come as no surprise that Lydia has exceptionally small feet. When I was pregnant, Uncle Bro and Aunt Stephanie got Lydia a pair of 3-6 month pink Converse shoes to match my own pair. I was very impatient for Lydia to be able to wear them, but it took her about 6 to 7 months to grow into them. Fortunately, they have now fit her for the latter half of her first year. She has worn them out. They are frayed and grimy. She has crawled and walked all over the place in these shoes, and they show the signs. Her toes are just now reaching the limit, so I will be retiring them soon. But when I think of Lydia as a baby, I'll probably always think of her in pink converse shoes. Here's a pictures of Lydia's first truly great pair of shoes. Being that she is a girl, there are probably going to be many, many, many, many, many more pairs to come (and yes, BJ, you will be paying for them the next 17 years).
