Squeaky shoes

Today we went over to Michelle's house to meet their new daughter, Tessa. Holy cow, she is beautiful! Absolutely gorgeous! She's got thick dark hair and dark eyes, and wonderfully creamy skin. She's just perfect and boy does she love her mommy!!

Michelle brought Katherine back a gorgeous purple silk dress. Katherine loves it!! She's been wearing it around since the moment she got it and refuses to take it off. It's such a fun addition to all of her dress up clothes!

The dress was great, the dress was perfect, but the gift she brought back for Caleb is out of this world! In China, the kids wear "squeaky shoes". They're made of super soft leather, and have incredibly flexible soles. The blow Striderites out of the water! What's even better about these shoes is that every time Caleb takes a step, the shoes squeak. So, I can turn my back on Caleb for 30 seconds while I load the dishwasher, and I know where he is! Oh-- I tell ya, these shoes are GREAT. Every mother of a boy needs a pair! They are just wonderful!! It's as much a gift for me, as the little guy!! They're definitely going down in the gift hall of fame!!
