While we held out hope that she would hit some special dates (2 family birthdays, as well as the nation’s birthday), baby girl wanted a day all to herself!

When the final challenge, “Signature Style,” of Project Run and Play’s season 4 was announced, we debated about even participating in the flickr sew-along.
