A GREAT PHOTO

A couple of week ends ago, Ian, Sarah, Sean, and Harriet came to visit.  Actually, they stopped by on their way down to San Diego to go to a wedding.   Sarah's brother, John was getting married.  Since the trip from Hayward to San Diego is very long, they asked if they could stop on Friday for the night.  They'd then go onto San Diego Saturday morning.  On Saturday evening they'd stop again, and finish the trip to Hayward Sunday morning.  Except for the late stops (Friday especially), the whole thing went very well.

Harriet, who is four, really likes princesses.  On Saturday morning, before the wedding, we asked if John's bride was a princess.  She wasn't sure.  We suggested that princesses wear beautiful gowns, have tiaras, and wed princes.  They then drove off to the wedding.  On Sunday morning, we asked Harriet if the bride was a princess.  Harriet said, "She was!"

Sean really dislikes getting his picture taken.  For the past couple of years it's been very difficult to get him in a photo.  He dives below chairs, pulls his hoodie up, or puts on such a strange expression, you really can't tell it's Sean.  The week-end they came to visit, I pointed out that we had pictures of everybody else in the family except Ian.  This was true.  We've got a great photo of Sarah and Harriet, a cute photo of Charlie, Kayley and me, another great photo of Glenn, Krysty, and Kayley, and one of Charlie and Sean.  Somehow, Sean decided this was a photo that we needed.  In the end, he actually reminded us to take the photo just before they left for home.  I've attached the picture.  It really is a great shot of Sean - he looks just like this!
