Growing up Angie's Dad had a hat that he bought in Italy on one of his trips that happened to be during a very cold winter storm. Her dad would pack this hat on many of his business trips when he was going to colder climates, usually the north east. Angie loved this hat, maybe because it was a little different or maybe because it was only brought out for important trips, or maybe because it reminded her a little of the Scottish heritage from her dad.
In November, Angie saw this hat in David's size. It was very much like the hat her dad had and of course she bought it for David. This hat is really the only hat David does not mind wearing for long periods of time and we think he looks pretty cute in it.
A few weeks ago when Angie's family came to visit it happened to be during our very cold weather. Angie's dad had his hat...
David checking out Grandad's hat! He is trying to pull grandad closer to get a better view...
love this picture - Grandad and David - don't they look very dapper?
When we were dating Angie noticed that Greg's dad too had a hat similar in style to her Dad's.
He wears his more often than her Dad - it is a little colder in Austin than Houston during the winter.
Here is Grandpa Ed and David at church last Sunday - love this picture too!
It is a funny thing that a hat can spark such emotion... but this one does for Angie.
Yes, these are three dapper looking guys! But of course, David is the "dapperest" of them all!

Love ya, Grandad and Gram
