When the kids go to my parents' house, they often like to play with some old hats that once belonged to their great-grandmothers. Recently, those hats took on a different meaning. Grammie had recorded the Royal Wedding and was watching it with Pappaw. Genevieve and Anson became interested because of the fact that it was a Prince and Princess getting married, and all of the Royalty and pomp and circumstance. My parents began to talk to them about the way the people invited to the wedding were dressed and particularly all of the amazing hats that the women were wearing. That caused Genevieve to remember the hats in Grammie's closet. So they got out all of the hats and began to pretend they had been invited to the wedding too. My granddaddy actually had a small tophat that Anson likes to wear, so both soon were ready to make their appearance at the Royal wedding. The kids continued the pretending by playing with some of Grammie's models of the Queen's royal coach and horses. Luckily my Dad got several pics of the event.
I'm a wife to a wonderful husband and father, Ollie, who is busy pursuing his dream to be a doctor, a mother to a sweet, but sassy five year old girl, Genevieve, and a cuddly, but demanding two year old boy, Anson. I enjoy the outdoors, soccer, reading, musicals, hiking, snowboarding, camping, swimming, the 80's, shopping, traveling (wish I could do this more often), baking, photography, animal rights, playing cards, backgammon, sudoku, Kraft macaroni & cheese, summers in Seattle, spring in New Mexico, fall in Texas, chocolate, real conversations about politics and religion with open-minded people, family walks, the smell of coffee, sunflowers, raspberries, vegetarianism, hanging out with friends and family. Life is continuously an adventure at our house!
