The Land of Imagination

Grace had a quiet Wednesday.  I think her body had to rest from all of the playing in the sprinkler that she did on Tuesday.  I think she was also sad because Kevin left for New York on Wednesday.  This trip had been planned for him months ago...a celebration dinner for a big event that happened last fall for him.  Our family had been planning on joining him on this trip and staying on extra to see the sights of NYC but had to cancel due to Grace's unforeseen lengthy recovery.  Although everyone in our family was very sad about canceling the trip, we knew that it was the right thing to do for our family and that God had something better planned for our future!  We just needed to be patient and wait.   

Thankfully, by Friday, Grace's body was ready to venture out again.  Mrs. Kuhne came by and picked Grace and a friend up to go get icecream.  They had so much fun!  Grace left giggling and came home giggling.  Grace felt good enough when she came home to play with her sweet friend for another hour and a half!  They escaped to the land of imagination.  It was so fun to listen to the world they went to.  I am so thankful for friends and for imaginations that can take Grace to a world that sometimes can be much more fun than the one she lives in!

And a sidenote, after a horrible thunderstorm, rainstorm, and lightening storm that began Wednesday night and didn't end until Thursday afternoon in Dallas, dropping over 10 inches of rain in the Park Cities, Kevin made it back on the ONLY flight that left La Guardia the entire day!  The report from NYC was it was raining there too so we didn't miss much! 

Thank you for continuing to pray for our family,

Carrie
