Today

Once upon a time in a land, not too far away, there was a beautiful princess and a handsome prince. They didnt know each other until one day when they were at a party and the young prince was bold enough to show the princess one of his war wounds. It was his ankle and it had been hurt in a fight against a most formidable enemy. The princess was quite taken with him, perhaps it was his good looks, perhaps his bravery, or, as I think, it could of been his thick hair and because he was born in the great state of Idaho to goodly parents. They soon fell in love and married in a beautiful temple located in the village of Boise.

The prince was happy! The princess was happy! But, something would soon happen that made them both even happier! Yes, they had a baby. A man child to be sure. He was lively with quick eyes and alert to every sound ( I know, I was there). The prince was so excited. He wanted to give his new baby a gift, he wanted to give him a fine , shiny new sword. A good sword to fight dragons with. But, his mother, the beautiful princess, ( who undoubtedlly was born of a beautiful mother), was also wise and asked her husband to wait and let him grow until he was at least as tall as the sword was long, before he gave it to him. The prince saw the wisdom in his wife's counsel so instead of giving him the sword at that time they instead gave him a name! I don't think I can say it out loud for I don't want any dragons to hear it, but, it starts with Bradd and ends with ock. So, now the young man has turned 4 years old, and is also a big brother to a smiling and snapping curly headed brother named Emmett. But to the surprise of all, The big brother is not a dragon fighter! Instead he is a friend to dragons! He even rides on their backs as they fly across the mountains! But, now listen very closely because I will tell you a secret: sometimes he turns into a dragon himself! Yes, it is true, I have seen it happen! And so what will happen now? He goes to preschool and and he rides a scooter as fast as a strong wind. And he plays with some cousins ( though he longs to see the cousins that live over the Rocky Mountains)

What will happen next in the life of the Handsome prince and Beautiful princess?
