An Affinity for Hats

 I do not know what it is about a Swistak boy in a hat, 

but it makes me swoon.  

Almost 15 years ago when I first laid eyes on "Stack,"

I fell in love with the tall boy in a raggedy hat.

I told my grandma and my mom

that I was going to marry that guy.

I did not know anything else about him - 

except that he {in my eyes} was a BMOC

and he looked good in a hat.

I probably saw his blue eyes, but I couldn't even take a guess

at his hair style or hair color for the first six months I 'knew' him

as he always wore a hat!

I have been obsessed with hats for my boys 

since Alekzander was a baby.

Kiddo wore a hat just about every day...

more for fashion than function.

Anderson went through a stage where he hated hats,

and I was crushed.

Now, I can get them both to wear a hat -

and keep it on for a while.

It may just be me, 

but I think they both {all} look adorable in hats!
