Happily Ever After

Well, you've probably already heard the news. It's really all people are talking about lately!
You know… the wedding?
The Letters Q and U finally decided to get hitched! Mr. Q realized he just couldn't survive without her. So their life has officially begun...
 The ceremony took place at St. Marks United Methodist Church here in Knoxville. In fact, the Fab 5's class was responsible for making it all happen.
 Each Mr. Q, one-by-one, walked his lovely Miss U down the aisle to say their vows.
 This little pair happened to be my personal favorite ~
 The beautiful ladies proudly carried their orange, pink, and yellow crepe paper bouquets, while handmade veils adorned their exquisite dresses...
and the boys proudly stood by in their handsome attire waiting to say "I do"



 Pastor Dave lead the ceremony and graciously announced the union of Mr. Q & Miss U ~ May you live happily ever after!
Charlie's class was able to attend the ceremony ~ Charlie informed me that when he is a Fab 5 next year, he will be marrying Rachel.
 The ceremony was followed by a Mother's Day reception in Sam's class. It was lovely ~ We were presented our sweet gifts, which included bath salts that our children had carefully coated with essential oils, an a.d.o.r.a.b.l.e hand drawn kitchen towel, and portfolios of beautiful artwork from throughout the year.
 We were also served a lovely brunch ~ all pulled together by Sam's teachers Ms. Judy and Ms. Amy. They are absolutely wonderful!

Sam and Stephen decided to get a little silly with some bunny ear photos (I love that Stephen does his own!)
 And Sam finished off the event with the biggest smile he could muster.
We're one event closer to Sam's final days of preschool… It still just baffles my mind!

    Great pics, Mary! This is WAY cuter and more elaborate than I had imagined! Sam sure makes a handsome Mr. Q! You know Cate has her gown and veil all ready for next year :) ... See you at our next Mother's Day event on Monday ~ Sarah

    I just love weddings. Especially when the groom shows up in his Batman suit! Priceless :)

In That Space

Image
Wow! It's been a while.  Coming to this seat to reflect and write is always in the back of my mind, but sometimes it's just more complicated than others to actually get here. I have several significant events to share with you. I have pictures!! You must see! We've celebrated Charlie turning 5 (Oh my Lord! His world has changed!) We had our family Christmas time. We've had SNOW! We went skiing. Life keeps happening. I photograph it when I can. And I come here when it's time. It occurred to me today why I haven't been posting much.  This blog is primarily a place where I capture memories, store my photos, share a few laughs, and watch my kids grow. I tend to organize it around the photos I take. While I have a few pictures that I want to (and will!) share with you, for some reason my thoughts haven't been very focused on those photos or those events. I've kind of been in a weird space since the beginning of the year. It's not a bad space…...

… And My Most Silly Sweetheart ~ My Baby

Image
Finally, I get to introduce to you my baby ~ Charlie Aaron Hatcher. Chuckles. The most perfect nick-name there ever was ~ It's so profound as a mother to bring a new life into the world, and only a few short weeks after the little miracle arrives, you feel like you already know his personality and who he will be. I am describing Charlie to you today using nearly the same words I would have used when he was 3-months old. Funny, whimsical, stubborn - yet easy going, independent, and extremely loving (when he wants to be!) This child has enriched my life in so many ways. He is a little ball of energy, with a sassy attitude that cracks you up. And it's all topped off with a sugar coated sweetness that can melt your heart. I thought I had nearly mastered parenting, disciplining, and molding a child by having practiced with Sam ~ but come to find out I essentially had to throw out everything I learned with Sam, because this one has been a whole new ballgame. Amazing how that wo...

We Heart the Tomato Head

Image
It has become quite a tradition for the Hatcher family to visit our beloved Tomato Head anytime we have the opportunity. Because we tend to go out to eat a LOT… and because a good dining experience is quite high on our (or at list my) list of priorities, the opportunity to go to the Tomato Head presents itself quite frequently. Always once, many times twice per week. I do believe Sam and Charlie have even decided it to be their favorite place to eat (or maybe they just know it makes mama happy!) On Monday, while on our (home) vacation, we decided to take advantage of our glorious East Tennessee treasures up in the Smoky Mountains. Lucky us… there is a Tomato Head in downtown Maryville ~ so we had to visit as we were passing through. At both locations (Market Square and downtown Maryville), we prefer to sit outside. They have their trademark colorful lights hanging at both locations. Our meal always begins with blue chips and hummus. Always. Sam and Charlie gobble up their ...
