My niece, Chloe, spent her very first weekend away from her parents. I invited her over (from two blocks away where my folks live) to have a tea party. She was shy with Greg because its been a little while since she last saw him but as soon as he donned the top hat she was warmed up and ready to go. She was so cute playing the "hostess" of our tea, being sure each of our cups were brimming with tea the entire time. It completely took me back to my childhood, as my mom did the same tea parties with me...teaching me the importance of slowing down to enjoy a cup of tea and the presence of a good friend.
There was a girl who fell in love with a prince. They married and began creating adventures and memories, from summers in Europe and pageants, to church planting and fleeing from wild moose in the Rocky Mountains. They grew together and strived to serve their King. They lived every day to it’s fullest, but knew their home was meant for more. One day, not so long ago, they took on the title of foster parent. Currently you’ll find them residing in sunny Cali, with two beautiful daughters; and if you were to take a peek into their château today you’d no doubt find a bit of chaos, scribbled walls, a tantrum here and there, maybe a few tiara’s, but most importantly an abundance of laughter and lots of love. This is their story; sit back and have a look around …
