Peterson Name Carried On

Lillie and I were talking about the Peterson family reunion last year and how all the Petersons were there including Matthew and Sarah. The conversation went a little something like this.

Mom: Do you remember when we went up to the cabins with all the Petersons?
Lillie: Oh yeah! But I don't remember everyone who was there.
Mom: Remember Grandma and Grandpa Peterson, Sarah and Matthew, and Becky...
Lillie: Sarah and Matthew?
Mom: Yes, your cousins Sarah and Matthew Lyon.

This is where she got confused...

Lillie: Lyon? Not all Petersons?
Mom: Jen used to be a Peterson but when she married Mark she became a Lyon. Just like my name used to be Jennifer Jackson but when I married Dad my name became Peterson. When you get married someday you will change your name to something else too.
Lillie: Maybe my husband takes my name.

Maybe Brent will have someone carry on the Peterson name after all!
