Outing Today...

Today we did one of our favorite activities- we went to the nursing home to help Rev Don. My new friend Alison met us there- it was a truly blessed day!
Alison and her kids were so wonderful and helpful- the residents really enjoyed seeing all the kids. (Her 2 y.o. even danced for them LOL- TOO CUTE!!!)
I know that it was a huge shot in the arm for Rev Don and I, and a real answer to our prayers.
Alison invited us to her house for a nice lunch, and the kids and I had such a great time. I am thankful to have met another 'kindred spirit'. Ok, yes, I'll admit... Haley and I have been watching Anne of Green Gables alot lately. But I mean it! Alison rocks!
Ok... seriously...As many of you know, Dunc, the kids and I have gone through a hugely painful transition recently, leaving our church 'family' of 16 years. While we long for relationships lost, and hold out hope that they will one day be restored, we are SO grateful that the Lord is providing us with new, wonderful, supportive friendships. God is so good!

Happy Birthday Austin!!!!
WOW! You got some wonderful gifts & I love the Bongos!!! If we ever get to meet I will bring my guitar & we can all sing & you can play the bongos at the same time.
How exciting that you will soon have your very own bunny! Please let me know what you decide to name him, or her, & make sure Mom puts some photos on the blog for all of us to see.
You are a very, very special boy.
Lots of LOVE & HUGS & KISSES
