Full of surprises

They never cease to amaze me. Just when I think I have them "figured out" I am again surprised by what my boys will do.

We just spent 5 days traveling and in Pennsylvania visiting Nate's grandmas. They live in retirement communities/nursing homes and I was so worried that the boys would be shy and fussy while we were away. To my wonderment, they were completely opposite and what a joy it was to watch them! I saw my boys hug and kiss their great-grandmas upon first meeting them; watched them laugh and play in the sitting areas of the nursing home while old folks walked by and by; I saw the boys entertain our whole family for hours with just a styrofoam cup; I saw the smiles on the grandmas' faces and the joy brought from miles away by two little guys with no plan or agenda.

It was a beautiful sight and a great experience- it was a blessing. I got to see my boys happy in a strange situation, and they made everyone feel comfortable and loved. And I love them for it.
