So, I've been under some pressure to find the perfect shoes. I mean, when my little dreamer has her heart set on "shoes without straps," what if I chose the wrong ones? But she assured me, it didn't matter what color, as long as they "didn't have straps." Okay then. Oh, and she also reminded me to "check the Gap at the mall and the Gap at the Quarry." (yeh, this girl gets around.)
I bought two pairs just in case (which was a feat in itself, since it's suuuuper hard to find strapless shoes size 11), and sure enough, one of them must be returned. But the new ones are already scuffed...off with the old, on with the new.
the silver shoes literally have holes in the front... |
She's growing out of her favorite old shoes, but making memories in new ones. I think there's going to be a big box in the attic labeled "Julia" for all the things I just can't let go of...and I'm sure some day as I sift through it, the memories of these dreamy little days will flood my heart.
I love my jolly Julia.

Oh, Gabrielle. Your Julia looks so spirited and fun. Definitely a dreamer! Cherish every minute of it, my friend!!
How sweet your heart is. I just love to read of your love for your sweet kids. Happy new steps for Julia!!
those worn out silver shoes could tell a story of Julia's year--maybe some day she'll write it! I remember events with Julia in silver shoes, like walking the Golden Gate Bridge and 2 weddings! One day she told me that her silver shoes were her "wedding shoes"! (and I think they were her park, playground shoes too!)
I cannot believe she is 5!! In my mind she is still the little toddler she was when you moved back home. Such a sweet post in honor of her birthday.
