These shoes are made for walkin'

Another example of how fast Grace is growing is what I call "the shoe situation". Since the beginning, buying shoes has been a challenge. It seems Grace is always between sizes and in a couple of cases she has grown out of shoes before she even had an opportunity to wear them! This is because I just thought they looked too big and by the time I decided to try them on her...they were too small. I am sure we have about 10 pairs to donate to charity.

The good news is, Grace has a few new pairs of shoes that are perfect for fall. These are one of those pairs....extra special Nike Mary Janes given to us by our good friend Maura. Maura is an amazing mom of three boys so I am sure she had fun choosing something girly when she bought these. She told me this weekend that occasionally she gets a pass to the Nike factory in Oregon and can get styles that are not normally sold in stores. These adorable Mary Janes are an example of this special opportunity. Thanks again, Maura!
