    Glady brought an English custom home with her, Tea! The girls take turns being the tea hostess and serving out the sugar and milk. Today it was Juliet’s turn, and Glady was showing her how to use the silver sugar cube tongs she brought home with her. I find it so charming to listen to…

    Phil and I had a rare opportunity today – to spend most of the day with Glady. Nana and BoPop took the two younger girls up to visit Uncle Austin and Aunt Bobbie, so it was just the four of us. Johann has been feeling a little under the weather, so he napped from noon…

    Two little girls who aren’t so little anymore… This was taken in Winter 2001, not too long before Pippa was born. It’s hard to believe Pip is going to be 6 in a month! One thing hasn’t changed – they all still love to dance whenever I put music on. Even Johann, although his style…
