An extra dose of hugs and kisses is just what the doctor ordered! Nana has her PHD in serving up sweet love.
With Dad retired and in Savannah visiting Mandy and Jesse, we invited Mom to come up and stay with us this weekend. Addie was so excited to see her. They giggled and danced around this evening while we prepared dinner. Mom is upstairs right now rocking her and putting her to sleep. I love seeing my mom as a grandma. I know you can't tell it from the smile on her face, (wink, wink) but my mom absolutely glows in the presence of her little angel.
Today at school something kind of cool happened. At lunch, a group of service men and women came to visit our school. They presented our school with 2 awards of recognition and thanks for the efforts of my former homeroom students. Over the past 2 years, we have written letters, made cards and sent school supplies to Iraq. Of course I got all emotional, because it is them who deserves the recognition and thanks. The captain talked about all of the positive things happening in Iraq that you don't hear on the news. I would like to think that no matter how small, the efforts made by our school are helping to brighten a day of those who serve and defend our freedom as Americans. They are attempting to make this world a better place for everyone and put their lives on the line in order to do this.
