January 7th

January 7th, 2008.  A fabulous day.  Zoe and I went to Starbucks.  We split a muffin, she had ice water, and I had a fun coffee drink.  It was a pretty warm day.  We walked around downtown LaGrange and made our way to Y and Z Kids.  It was just the two of us.  I bought Zoe a fun new bow for her hair.  A women in Starbucks commented on Zoe’s cuteness and asked when I was due.  Tomorrow.  It was the last day of just Zoe and me.  It was such a fun and special day.

January 7th, 2009.  A fabulous day.  Zoe was at school.  Ellie and I went to Caribou Coffee.  We split a slice of  lemon poppy seed loaf, she had ice water, and I had a coffee.  It was a cold morning.  We walked around downtown LaGrange and made our way to Y and Z Kids.  It was just the two of us.  I bought Ellie her very first bow for her hair.  A women in Caribou Coffee commented on Ellie’s cuteness and walking and asked how old she is.  One.  Tomorrow.  It was such a fun and special morning.

What a difference a year makes.
