snugged beside her daddy’s,
new footsteps following

I thought so, too, thanks. I was walking by, and I saw the boots, lined up so carefully, not by me, and I was really moved.

Very adorable. Especially since missing my grown daughter. I loved seeing all the little shoes and boots around the house. My 4 year old niece visited us this week reminding me of all the fun I had with my own kids.

So cute the way she lined hers up with her daddy’s. She announced last night that her daddy owed her lots of snuggling. I asked her why, and she make her tiger-growly face and said, “Because you wake me up EVERY MORNING.” LOL

Thanks, I do love my kids. My daughter said to me, would I give her my necklace when she grows up (she’s 4) at the same meal where she was hitting up her father for more snuggling. “Mom, when I grow up, will you give me your necklace to remember you by?” Oh, man. I told her, she didn’t have a prayer of forgetting me ever, and I might give her my necklace someday because I love her, but not to bribe her to remember me. LOL

She placed them there. My husband wouldn’t have, and I was moved when I saw them.

That was a cute Haiku.
I will say this though, they seem a little bit old(wink wink)
