I think we’re coming to the end of an era in regards to Norah’s shoes.
I have loved putting her in Pediped Shoes since she was just a few months old. She’s currently wearing the 12-18 month size in the Pediped Originals style, with the soft leather soles. This translates into about a size […]

Norah is at the perfect age for enjoying a play kitchen. Every time we go to someone’s house who has one, she seems to gravitate towards it. I really love the wooden play kitchens out there (like this red one from Pottery Barn Kids and my favorite are these from Land of Nod) […]

Meanwhile back at the ranch
By: Alison on: Aug 28,2008 In: baby, friends, gear, personal, photography tips, playdatesOn Tuesday after I picked Norah up from school, we went over to Amy’s for a little while to check out her new Photoshop Elements program. While I have been using the full version of Photoshop and several other applications for a while now, I had never had any experience with PSE, and I […]

Styling Norah’s hair is challenging and fun for me. It’s fun to play with different clips and patterns and twists (and one day braids, etc). Currently the mini spider claw clips are working great on top of some little twisty puffs. I got creative this week and split the front two puffs […]
Every now and then a little package shows up with Norah’s name on it, and its usually from a certain Grannie…This sweet sweater dress was the latest and we’re not sure if it’s too big or if she’ll grow into it enough over the next 3-4 months. It’s size 18-24 months. I like […]
Birthday and Bento and Baby, OH MY
By: Alison on: Aug 14,2008 In: baby, family, gear, personal, styleToday I turned twenty-nine. I was going to try and blog something deeply introspective, but I don’t have it in me tonight. So, I will re-cap my day for you if you care to read…
I started my day with the most beautiful baby girl in the world. Though I am pleased at […]
Baby Lulu wasn’t my favorite find from Brea’s Consignment Sale. My favorite find (and Norah’s) was the Sandwich Making Set of Melissa & Doug Wooden Play Food. We played with this set at our friend Lily Grace’s house a few weeks ago, and after seeing how much it kept Norah busy I knew […]
Today was Norah’s first day back to Mother’s Day Out and boy were we both ready for it!
Rewind to Back to School Eve last night…Grammy and Granddaddy got Norah her Stephen Joseph quilted backpack to carry to school each day. We decided to let her try it on and practice last night before bed.
Saying […]
When I was in jr high I was gone for two weeks in the summer. I went to Mountain TOP (church camp) for a week, came home for one night, and then left for a week in Panama City with Christy and her family. When I came home after the first week, there […]

About this blog
Our adoption story was written long ago, not by us but by our Creator. His plan to adopt us into His family through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ planted seeds in our hearts that came to life in June 2007 when we welcomed Norah into our family through a domestic adoption. Though the little details of this blog may be about our adoption story, we hope our thoughts and images might inspire you to look into the bigger picture of God's plan for your life - to adopt you into His family as one of His children.
