It's a turtle.

These are the baby shoes I made. I think they turned out pretty cute! Yes you can see the white thread inside the shoe. I didn't have any black and Abby was already asleep so I couldn't go buy more. So definitely a first attempt. Now I know how to make them better and cuter next time! I'm excited to try them again. They took me a couple hours, but I think next time around won't take so long. Oh, I still need to add an embellishment. But I was too anxious to share. Huzzah!



Abby got a sweet pink harness backpack from her Grandma Larsen yesterday. She LOVES backpacks and this one is extra special because it has a dry erase board built in. How cool is that? And how fabulous that it's a harness so I can put her on a leash! ;) I say that just because I know Jesse will cringe. He thinks it's abuse. I think it's brilliant for places like airports, etc. So here's Abbs-cadabs playing with her dry erase board. The BEST part is what she drew.




Check out that picture! The pink one. She said it was a turtle. I didn't help her at all, I swear. But it clearly has arms, eyes, a nose, and a mouth. And as she was drawing them she told me what each thing was so I know that's what she intended. I don't know if it was a fluke drawing, or if she's really figuring it out, but I thought it was AWESOME! I swear--No help from me at all.
