Uncle Karlie's Visit

Uncle Karl and Aunt Shirl enjoyed a game of Princess Monopoly Junior.

The much-anticipated arrival of Uncle Karl for Veronica's baptism was heralded by an unexpected announcement: he is engaged. Mom's older brother arrived at our house tonight with his fiancé Shirl sporting a good-sized rock on her left hand. The girls easily warmed up to the two, inviting them to partake in a game of Princess Monopoly Junior. The winner? Mom, of course. Like the girls always tell her, "cheaters never win!"
