The Wedding

Well, Simeon made his star debut as "Pillow Bearer" in the wedding of Nate and Rachel Hartke (two former UofA Nav students) on June 9 up in Phoenix. He and Luke, the bride's cousin, walked down the outdoor aisle side by side with pillows in hand. No rings. Which was just as well since Luke saw a pinecone halfway down and decided to bear it as well, then Simmy promptly dropped his pillow upon reaching the front. Both boys were a big hit, with the guests as well as each other. After the wedding I asked Sims if he was scared and he was totally mystified as to why I would ask such a question. A chance to chase cats and vroom cars—in between wedding responsibilities, off course—with another 3-year-old? Why would he be scare of that?
Lydia, meanwhile, enjoyed rearranging the rose petals that were scattered just before the ceremony, and reconnecting with her favorite stuffed kitty, "Meow," who had been forgotten in Phoenix a month earlier.
Keep trying back... next post will be about our sweet new ride!
