67 / 365: Cricket enjoys pizza (her favorite, of course) after running and romping around Monkey Joe’s at a fun friend’s fourth birthday party. (Emma Vance is a few kids down the row chowing down, too!)

68 / 365: Emma Vance raided my makeup kit while playing dress-up in hopes of making herself look more like a princess, but the result is much more Frida Kahlo. Upon seeing herself, she cried, “I look like ERNIE!!!” and wiped herself (somewhat) clean. ;)

70 / 365: Our worst, saddest, hardest day yet in life as we said goodbye to our sweet, precious, loved dog, Olive. We will never be the same without her presence.



73 / 365: Ryan reads to Emma Vance while waiting for Sunday brunch to hit the tables. Literary topic of choice? Coco Chanel, who is a big hit around the Shove household these days.
