The tea set

About 4 1/2 years ago, Nate's mamaw Cummings bought Isabel her first tea set. Yes, she was still an infant but I'm so glad she got it. She passed away unexpectedly while the kids were still babies. They never got to know her but she was a fantastic woman! She was deeply loved by her entire family & I'm grateful I got to know her pretty well.


A few weeks ago, Isabel asked if she could play with the tea set. It had been sitting at the top of the boys' closet and she finally asked me one day if she could have it. At first I wondered if I should let her play with it or keep it set back. I'm not one that is good at keeping things in boxes. And, I figured Nate's mamaw would want Isabel to play with it. I told the kids that daddy's mamaw got Izzy the tea set. I'm not sure they understand, but one day they will.

And the boys love playing with it as well.
