Small Talk
By Moriah on October 7th, 2008
My mother’s birthday is in a few days, so she and my dad came down after the wedding last weekend to celebrate it here and also to attend homecoming next weekend. Never mind that neither of them actually went to school here.
Sending four kids to college should automatically qualify you for alumni status.
Or at least a free tee-shirt.
My mom and I went to lunch today with several family friends (all ladies; we went to the tea room) and had a loverly time. My dad played “baseball” with the kids in the backyard, which of course they loooooooooved. I even saw Madeline whack the ball a few times.
And yes, her eye looks worse. We’re at the black n’ blue stage now.
Pretty quiet evening around here tonight, however, since my folks are in Atlanta for the evening and then Huntsville tomorrow. They’ll be back Wednesday and I have a long list for my mother and I to accomplish around this house while she’s here.
Such as taking a peek at my wedding dress which has been hanging in my closet all these years but really needing to be heirloomed instead. And I need to switch out my summer clothes and shoes before it starts getting cooler. And my kitchen is in need of a good organizing spree.
Have a happy Tuesday!

Sounds like your dad had a great time with the kids! I love watching my dad play Grandpa with mine, it’s so heartwarming.
Have fun with your parents! Tell them they’re missing a gorgeous fall week here in CO!
quick question- what are you doing to ‘heirloom’ your dress? i ask this bc mine is currently stashed in an extra closet at my parents’ house!
Take the dress to a trusted dry cleaners, or one that has a good reputation on preserving wedding gowns….
