Our days have been busy with fun places to enjoy with a toddler, but we have shed a few tears this past week as well. Here's some highlights.
We had a special mother-daughter outing last Saturday when Susanna spent the weekend with her dad. We went to Coronado and visited some of our favorite shops, had lunch, bought some old-fashioned candy and enjoyed the beach, too.
I always enjoy going to The Rock with Carrie and listening the Pastor Miles' sermons. After breakfast at Panera's, we went to the park in Liberty Station. Isn't it beautiful? Carrie loves to roller skate there; it's perfect.
One day last week we went to the zoo and then out to lunch at Denny's.
We visited Carrie's former neighbor, Daisy, in the nursing home. I loved seeing the faces of the elderly as we walked with Susanna, carrying her little purse and bringing joy to them.
Yesterday was sad. We got the call telling us Carrie's best friend's mother passed away. We've been praying for her for over a year. She's with Jesus; but we mourn for the family.
My days with Carrie and Susanna are fulfilling. It is a joy to share our faith together and pray together. I smile as we drive in the car talking about the Lord, forgetting the little one is in the backseat until she waits for our pause and shouts "Amen!"
Sending you lots of love from San Diego!
