Katie Hope - May 2009

Boulder Farmer's Market May 2009 -

Katie and I often visit the farmer's markets throughout the summer. With her long blonde hair, big brown eyes and precocious demeanor Katie usually attracts the attention at many different stands. She always enjoys accepting the samples offered at each booth. This specific market is fairly large (it encircles a whole city block) so we bring her wagon to collect our fruits and vegetables. This particular day Katie caught the attention of a kind grandmother who owns a floral booth. The lady generously gave Katie this huge and beautiful peony flower as a gift.

Notice Katie's tongue of concentration. :o)

Going to Home Depot (first Saturday of every month) to do the Kids Workshop with Daddy. The workshop projects teach the kids tool skills and safety. As of December 2009, she's collected 8 projects which also come with a pin for her smock and a certificate of completion. Here she's the image of the modern woman - going to Home Depot with her baby Alice and pink purse.

Princess moment - Katie asked to wear her favorite blue dress to church one morning. Then asked momma to put her hair up in a princess-bun. It took lots of hairpins but was well worth it, her hair is fun to play with!
