While we were in Connecticut, we were invited to see Dan's Uncle's Jewelry shop!
It was an amazing space!...it took me a few minutes to pull my camera away from my face!
This is Dan's Uncle, Matt...
...and Aunt Judy
The kids got a FULL tutorial!
Uncle Matt even measured their fingers and made them wax rings from his molds!
When Amya closed her eyes really tight, this is what she saw! :)
THEN Matt went to work on our wedding bands...enlarging them just a bit (ahem...) after 10 years of marriage.
It was fascinating to watch him work! That is my ring that was passed down to me from my Great Aunt Beatty.
When I remember this afternoon in Connecticut, this is what comes to mind....my children in awe...
Memory is a funny thing!
Thank you Aunt Judy and Uncle Matt, for the wonderful memories (and less constricted fingers) of that afternoon!
