The Faux Party

Shell and Avery

Rochelle Nicole. (Yes, I know you hate that name, but it's yours.) She was there for the birth, and all birthdays thereafter. But not this year.

We've moved to Seattle - a crime that will never be forgiven - and she can't be here for Kierstin's birthday for the first time in 7 years. Kierstin is most likely not aware of this fact, but Shell is. And I think it just might break her heart all over again.

Last weekend we went to Teddy Crafters and I took pictures of the teddy-making process. After Kierstin's party I'm going to give her the elephant and the pictures of her being made, in an attempt to make her cry.
