Emma and I walked to Piedmont ave. for a Fenton’s trip (she had a free ice cream coupon) and ended visiting her old school. She was very excited to see her first grade teacher and former classmates.

January 21st Emma Clover celebrated 100 months old and had a wellness visit. She is healthy and thriving. Tall and strong. Happy and creative. I could not be more proud of my little Clover.



Emma received new red tie shoes recently and we realized it was time that she finally learn how to tie them on her own. Yes she is considerably older than when I learned, but now shoes with velcro, buckles or slip ons are popular for young kids. She made it to the age of eight before she was forced to learn. Now she will proudly boast about her new skill and we dutifully watch as she ties them every day.

These awesome shoes were purchased from ThredUp! They were brand new and quite inexpensive. Yay for reuse fashion!

I felt gratitude upon receiving the photos we took at Stephanie and Justin’s wedding in September. These photo booth style pics capture my fireball of a child in all her beauty and positive energy.
