Blessed...

Today we went to the nursing home to have a play group. It was really alot of fun. I loved watching Addie Grace interact with the patients...I know I'm her mother and I'm partial, but she has such a sweet little spirit and she just loves them. She loved talking to them and telling them about Butch...her little dog that she just had to take with her...and she loved even more that they appeared to be very interested!!
I can remember my mom taking me to the nursing home when I was little to visit. It really was such a blessing to me and I love that my kids are getting to do the same thing now...I am sooo glad that my friend Suzanne had the idea to have a play group there...isn't she smart??
Anyway, here are some pictures of our morning!



When I was explaining to Addie Grace where we were going, I seemed to keep coming back around to how sometimes the patients get lonely and how happy that they would be that she came to visit with them...however, as we were leaving, I couldn't help but feel that we were the ones that were blessed by getting to spend our morning with them!
It's been a great day and we're looking forward to going back in 2 weeks!!!

That made me tear up. I know they get lonely and we all get busy. Thank you for taking the time to do that.
Love you
