For sending me the pattern to make these cute fabric baby shoes. I've always just bought the little stretchy shoes until they can walk and need real shoes, but since I couldn't find any that would match Miles' little tux, Kristina's pattern was a lifesaver.
Seriously- how cute are these??? The satin stripes even match a satin stripe down the pant leg.
And super easy and super cheap. It took me maybe 2 hours time total from cutting to trying them on (and that was with breaks to do laundry, feed Miles, entertain Isaac, etc) and maybe cost a total of $1 per shoe.
Even Miles looks pleased with them. Pleased enough to jump up and tap dance- if only he had the leg strength and balance. Thank goodness he doesn't!
And an even bigger hug to Kristina for giving Arty a Book of Mormon a few years ago when no one closer to him had the nerve to do it. Then all it took was a good bishop checking up on him, a good ward to fellowship him, a call to teach Elder's Quorum where he met his future brothers-in-law who were impressed enough with him to introduce him to their little sister, and of course meeting the right girl at the right time. And in 3 weeks time they'll be an eternal family and you (Kristina) will have fulfilled a dream of my husbands that I don't think he even let himself dream until a few months ago. So thank you again. We can never thank you enough!

I love, love, love the shoes.
I know a blog post isn't the best place to say all this, but thanks for being the best sister I could have (Kelli is automatically included with you of course). I actually forgot I gave Arty a Book of Mormon until I found a thank you card a few months ago that he sent me. I am so excited for you guys and hope you have the best time in Dubai. You married a great man and into such a great family. Fred and I are so happy for Arty and wish him the best!
