The Glamorous Miss Hatty with Us

Talk about a blast from the past.  Two years ago, the kids and I were fortunate enough to find ourselves in the company of greatness.  You know one of those people who is so full of energy and joy that you just glow from being around them.  Well, that was Miss Hatty to us.  She was an exchange student at William & Mary from the UK and she took the time out of her crazy school schedule to spend time with us.  Play with the kids at Kidsburg, fix me English tea (ick!) and teach the kids very naughty versions of Patty Cake, including a 10 feet bra.  She made our lives brighter.  Her energy and joy was contagious and my kids are definitely better people for having had her in their lives for those short months.

As much as I tried to bribe her, she returned to Nottingham, graduated and is pursuing additional training now.  But not a single week goes by that we haven’t wished for her joy and smile in our lives again.  Today, we were blessed with a visit from her.  We met her at the park where we initially met her and it was like deja vu.  Here comes this pale red head prancing across the field, all smiles and fun just poring from her.  Now it did take the kids a little while to warm up, but it wasn’t long til they were running around screaming, dancing and giggling like the last two years of separation hadn’t happened. There is nothing that warms a mom’s heart more than seeing that much joy and fun on her kids’ faces.

Now, Miss Hatty took more video of the kids and some of you on Facebook will remember some of her other “infamous” footage of my kids and I hope she will post today’s footage of the crazy dancing and giggling.  But in the meantime, for posterity’s sake, I had to post these images of my kids in their Miss Hatty accessories!
