Brianna and MaxAir on March 3, 2010This size 22 shoe has infiltrated our family photos, and not entirely on accident. I received this shoe at work, while Jon and I were still in Chicago. A local marketing firm was advertising "something big is coming" - first it was a large tube, next an oversized insulated mug, and then came the shoe. Even though it was only one (the left) I thought it was worth hanging on to, so my boss passed it on to me (otherwise it would have been trashed), and now oddly enough a new tradition has started. When I was brainstroming the possible uses for the shoe and landed on having each of baby born in the family photographed with it, I wasn't totally sure my sisters would go for it. But 3 years, 3 states, 4 families, and 5 babies later, I'd say it caught on. Thanks for going along and stepping out into a wacky idea. I know these photos will come in handy some day!
