Two Great Grandmothers and one Terrific Pepaw!

Sophia not only has two wonderful sets of grandparents, but she also has two living great grandmothers and one terrific Pepaw! The great grandmothers are Mimi on Tim's side and Granny on Annie Kate's side. Then there's great grandfather "Pepaw", also on Tim's side of the family. Meet all three just below:

Mimi: Queen of Hearts!

Without further adieu, we would like to introduce (drumroll........)Margaret Court Curtis, known affectionately to us as Mimi! Mimi is Tim's grandmother on his mother's side. She is characterized by her fun-loving, energetic, and generous nature, and her many facets include accountant, businesswoman, boardmember, bible teacher, italian cook extradonnaire, and most recently even fashion show model! Timothy's fondest childhood memory with Mimi is playing cowboys and indians in his living room tee-pee! And she still has twice the energy of someone half her age! But what we love most about Mimi is her unquenchable love and the genuine care she shows for all of her family. We know Sophia Claire will fall in love with her just like the rest of us already have!



Granny: A True Original
Here is Granny (a.k.a. Faye Miller), Annie Kate's grandmother and Pop's mother, (that's Annie Kate's dad). Granny will have her very first great grandchild within a few short weeks, (2 if the due date is correct)! At 96 years old, she has waited a long time for this! But Granny is as healthy as they come. She takes no medication, (not even aspirin), and lived in her own home independently until the last couple of years. Granny's hobbies are beating the family at Scrabble games and working elaborate puzzles. She's turning 97 on November 22nd, and is holding out that Sophia might share a birthday with her!



Meet Pepaw: A True Rennaisance Man
Pepaw, Tim's grandfather and Mia's father, is a true Rennaisance man, who has lived quite an adventurous life! His latest hobby is videography, and he has created a great 4 1/2 minute short piece for Sophia, and for us, to enjoy (see below)! Thank you, Pepaw, for this little piece of history to pass down to your soon-to-come great grandaughter!

First Shower for Sophia in Sulphur Springs!


The first shower for Sophia was Labor Day weekend in Sulphur Springs, Annie Kate's childhood home. The beautifully planned event was packed with dear friends of the Miller's and held in the home Gregg and Debbie Price.

Image 1: Hostesses Debbie Price and Becky Roper went above and beyond in planning the shower. Every detail was beautiful from the invitations and napkins to the petits fours and cookies! And these two have more than one reason to be smiling! Only weeks before this picture was taken they became family, when their children, Abbey Price and Daniel Roper, were married! So many reasons to celebrate!

Image 2: A bird's eye view at the shower lets you see just a few of the many people that came to celebrate, as well as a peak at Debbie and Gregg's unique home!



Image 3: Gifts, gifts and more gifts! There were so many gifts in the living room, that these had to be kept out on the porch!


Image 4: So many gifts that "Grammy" had to help open, (and why shouldn't she?!)! We must have opened gifts for almost three hours straight!


Image 5: Annie Kate with hostess, Debbie- THANK YOU, Debbie and Gregg, for opening your home and blessing us with such an unforgettable shower for Sophia! We love you!

Introducing the Grandparents: Part Two

Hello everyone! Meet Sophia's sensational grandparents on Tim's side of the family-Mia and Papa!



Ciao Bella! Meet "Mama Mia" (a.k.a. Tim's mom, Lee) ! Here she is being serenaded by an Italian accordian player in Venice, Italy! And she is Italian,a true romantic, and makes a mean lasagna! We are sure that Sophia will never have a dull moment when she's spending time with Mia! And you can bet that some of that time will be spent at Disneyworld within Sophia's first 2 1/2 years (it's a Head family tradition)!




Meet Papa (a.k.a. Tim's Dad, Rick)! Here he is, doing what he loves to do, which is making people happy and having fun! He's already warming up for Sophia, letting this little girl paint his face! Among his many talents, (he played both baseball and football when at Baylor), Papa takes the stage several times a year for audiences as a stand up comedian! I'm sure Sophia will look forward to all of Papa's funny jokes!

STAY TUNED to Meet the Greats: Mimi, Granny, and Pepaw~Sophia's Great Grandparents!
