The Rest of The Trip

James likes his Eppie.

On Wednesday we all got together to sing at the nursing home. Papa and Aunt Sandi do this every week. We all got a chance to sing that week, including the little boys. They sang "Twinkle Little Star" and "I Am A Child of God." The whole singing thing lasted about an hour. I am so proud of my kids. They were absolute angels. They sat in the chairs quietly and read books or colored. James and I sat next to Mimi. She loved looking at James. At one point she reached her hands out towards him like you do when you are asking to hold a baby. I put James in her arms and she kissed his head and talked to him a bit. Then she held my hand in her lap and played with it for a little while. Papa tried doing a harmonica song for the first time. the instant he began playing the harmonica Mimi sat straight up, smiled brightly, and started clapping. The music really spoke to her.

Back at Sandi's house the boys had fun playing. They went swimming, painted sun catchers, built a city with blocks, and walked around in play high heels. Good times...
