21 May Looking Back and Lovin' ItI looked at the calendar today and realized that May is one amazing month. On the 27th...my baby boy will be 31 years old. Now how did that happen. Another milestone is that our little Sojo's entry into our lives came almost 2 years ago on the 28th of May. Just a few pictures that show the difference two short years. How blessed we have been. These pictures make us look forward to the summer with anticipation and joy.
Okay...now...I am ready for the summer and some pictures to share of the joys of being a Popo and Gong Gong and that sweetness sitting with us. Come on summer...hurry up! 02 May Like Sojo ... Like PopoWow...I haven't been blogging much. Time to get back to it.
Something happened the other day that made me embarrassed for just a moment and then I just had to laugh and it reminded me so much of Sojo, that the embarrassment simply disappeared.
You see, the other morning I was rushing around as I always do...never leaving myself the amount of time that I should and as I was getting ready to leave, I decided to change shoes quickly. I ran to the closet where I would find many of my shoes in a pile in the corner. I saw the shoes I wanted...one near me and I slipped my foot into it. The other was to the left and a bit back, but there it was. I slipped my foot (or thought so anyway) into it and was on my way. As I quietly slid into the pew for morning Mass beside Ron, I bowed my head and saw....You guessed it...I had two completely different shoes on. The only similarity at all was that they were both black.
 No similarity at all. Not even the same type of heel or place for the toes. What was I thinking? Actually, I was thinking that I had the same shoes on. Everyone got a good laugh and one man actually wore two different sneakers to make me laugh. And so, there must be a lesson to be learned here. #1...maybe I should give myself more time in the morning #2...maybe I should clean up the "pile" of shoes and put them in a more orderly pattern #3...maybe I have too many shoes.
This really reminded me of Sojo and the joy and pleasure she got wearing her first unmatched shoes while I was visiting last Sept/Oct. We were going out to dinner and her mother found a box with shoes that she was to grow into. One pink sparkly pair and one silver pair. I did a blog on this and you can see her on the slide with the two different shoes. She just couldn't decide. That turned into her love of wearing two different shoes as you can see here. Could she have inherited that love from me? Whatever, I can't wait for her and I to be together and enjoy life to the fullest. Whether that is wearing mismatched shoes together or reading books together or taking walks together. We can be like two peas in a pod. That's one way to look at it. |
