Why Red Shoes?

Why Red Shoes you ask? Well, for our family, red shoes represent a lot. When I bought a pair of red Crocs at a garage sale one summer I had no idea what an impact they would have. I bought them for our 2-year old son whom I will refer to as "Red Shoes". This was the first pair of shoes that he could put on by himself. With that came the adventures of the great outdoors...and some independence.


Soon our son became very passionate about these shoes. They had to be on ALL of the time. I would force them off of him when he would sleep, but that was about it. it wasn't uncommon to see Red Shoes wearing the Crocs over his cute little footie pajamas.

With all of this zest for the shoes came some athletes foot. So it is with life I guess...you learn to take the bad with the good. And so this is my hope for this blog...that we will take time to appreciate lifes simple treasures...like a second hand pair of red shoes.

Our family delights in God, the grandeur of America, our friends & family, birthday cakes, gardens, overcoming lifes adversity and the changing seasons...just to name a few. Even during the tough times if you search hard enough you will find something worth celebrating.

Let's get rolling...
