Happy 5th Birthday to my sweet Ellee!

Why does turning 5 seem like such a big deal? I guess - in my mind - ages 4 and under still count as "baby" years. I know that's not really true, but 5 seems so old!

The amount of love, joy and laughter our Ellee girl has brought us over the past five years is truly indescribable. She is such a bundle of energetic randomness!! She is a child that keeps you guessing and laughing and sometimes leaves you stunned! Everyday we find ourselves more in love with this brown eyed girl...

Happy Birthday my baby girl! I hope your day is as wonderful as you!

Happy Birthday, Ellee!! Sorry I'm a few days late, but you can just keep enjoying your birthday a little longer!

Love you, too, Addie! Hope you both had a great Christmas. Love always, Miss Jan!

the story behind the blog name...

As with most unusual things around our house, our precious kiddos are to blame. Because I tend to think flip flops are a must in any girl's wardrobe, both the girls wore them quite a bit when they were younger - and still do!

Because "flip flops" seems to be challenging for a toddler to say, both girls came up with their own name for them. For Addie, they were called "ship shops" and Ellee, "pop pops." When Lee and I are feeling very ambitious, we (jokingly)talk about opening a children's shoe store one day with the name "Ship Shops & Pop Pops." Because we all know that will NEVER happen, we hated to see such a cute name go to waste. So there you have it - the explanation behind the peculiar name!
