Spring Moccasins

It's a rainy spring day today so I'm posting older pics from a couple weeks ago.

Pres has completely thrashed her moccasins this spring, which I was counting on because that's just what you do with a pair of fresh moccasins. Slip ons are an everyday shoe for myself so this year I bought a pair for Pea. She's has had the traditional booties every year since she was a baby but I thought these would be ideal for her this year because they are so comfy she can go to Target + the park without having to change her into the appropriate shoes. She has such thin feet I had to get her current size because the size up slipped off of her feet. Luckily I got them for only $9 after my DSW member discounts + since she's been living in them, the cost totally evened out. I bought her the pink for Valentine's Day + to be honest the color has been limiting. When I buy her shoes, anything really, I like for her to be able to wear + interchange them with any item in her closet beause shelved shoes are pointless. Next time I am opting for a neutral pair. 

Cool Days

Days are warming up big time but it has also been raining + cool in the mornings. I miss the clear indication of spring like in Missouri but this year's spring has been good. The winter lingered longer than normal for this part of TX but it was nice to not jump right into summer. I've taken a lot of pics but haven't been posting regularly because I've been working on some things when I get a spare minute. After Easter it will almost be summer + I hope to have a better set schedule for myself. Cheers!

Pretty Baby Flower

Absolutely nothing is sweeter or cuter than a toothy baby smile + jammies She has a new funny face + smile every time I get to see her.

One year ago this past March, we met Amélie for the very first time. The pictures I have of the babies  together seems like a lifetime ago. Pea still had a round baby face + Amé was very much a baby. We knew then the chances for her family moving were high, but we didn't know it would go by/happen so fast. She moved going on four months ago but it hurts just the same as if we just said goodbye to her today. What did people do before Viber + FaceTime??? Telegrams??? Morse code?? Torture! Still, communication is hard enough as it is, but add some technology + I'm lost. I never know if I should send an iMessage or an email so it may as well be ancient times because I'm lost. 

 It seems every day that goes by is one more day that we don't get to hold her + play with her. It feels like we'll never get there. I feel like we have missed so much already + by the time we do see her, she'll be different. We are already almost half way through the year + I thought by now we would have a plan to be visiting soon. International flight prices are no joke. Planning for the future + living life is a delicate balance game that is never-ending. I am fortunate but can't I just have a jet to see my niece every month? Is that really too much to ask for in this life?
