While Lisa was here, she tried getting me out of the house as much as possible, even though the outings only lasted a very few minutes sometimes....She definitely cheered me up. We made "to do" lists of things that I could do while sitting on the couch. We made ghosts out of candy bars and streamers with googly eyes for Hayden's class.
We came up with cute Christmas ideas.... We talked and laughed and cried.
Most of all, she took Hayden and played with him. She played games, colored, went to the movies, took him for ice cream, baked cookies, spoiled each child (Hayden, Brooklyn, Brigham and Talmage) with a special outing. She made life feel "as normal" as possible during her week with us. She brought lots of smiles with her.
Word cannot express our gratitude. Thanks, Lisa. We didn't even realize how much we needed you. You brought sunshine and laughter with you. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I needed you!
