R.I.P.


It was a very sad day in our home on Monday. Our beloved Lightening McQueen shoes took their last journey out into the world, and came back irreparable (notice the break in the strap at the heel). :( The loss will be felt by all as we try to replace our dearly beloved shoes.
And boy oh boy, will that ever be a hard task!
Can you see how loved they are? Can you imagine the miles they have shuffled, the bikes they have ridden, the games they have played???


You can see them here taking their first ride on the new Lightening McQueen mother of all bikes at Christmas time.


And here on Jimmy's 4th birthday taking a spin on his new scooter...
(remember... we just celebrated his 5th birthday!)


This was about the time our relationship began with our dearly beloved...
in June of 2008.
Now, many of you moms reading this will congratulate me for dressing my 3-5 year old child in the same pair of shoes for almost 2 years.
Some of you may find that offensive....
And smelly....
And very dirty....
But alas, this was not my doing!
(I tried very hard just recently to lose, break, threaten to throw away, the list goes on....)
But it was not to be.
So it is without any fault of my own that the "Lightening 'Queens" bid a final farewell to us, and all of you, as his journey has come to a very untimely (or timely!) end.
Jimmy will love you forever!

Jimmy - Grandpa will miss those shoes as much as you - they defined you. Tell mommy you wore those so long she owes you 5 new pairs of shoes.
