reminiscing...the day we met our son

Any parent will testify...seeing your child for the first time is a surreal experience! The flood of emotions that washes over you is enough to make you feel like you're drowning. I vividly remembering seeing both my girls for the first time...

Although we had "seen" Sam before in pictures, I compare it to seeing an ultrasound picture...it's wonderful to have a visual of your child, but there's nothing like seeing that sweet face in person and holding your baby for the first time!

We did just that - one year ago today!

One of my favorite videos of our journey...

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!
