Busy weekend
I do not think I will ever forget my 40th birthday. As if it wasn't exciting enough to have Leanne come home, and a sister here from B.C., and my wonderful friends taking total charge of my birthday party, Leanne talked!
Saturday morning I was in the livingroom. I had set her up in the kitchen with some waffles (no one else was up yet), and I heard, "Mom, Mom!" She wanted her waffles cut! Since then she's been saying more words, exciting anyone who hears them. One of her friends got her to play the piano last night, so there were the two of them, Leanne playing left hand, Anika playing right. What a beautiful sound and sight that was! The weather's been gorgeous, so she likes to sit outside as much as possible, working on her tan. It only took about two hours, and she looks like she's been outside all week! I wonder if she's going to be catching up for those late nights and napless days when she gets back to the hospital. It's been a stimulating weekend!

ReplyDeleteMore and more we see how God controls all things, and mericals do happen!!
So encouraging to hear of this progress!
ReplyDeleteThat's SOOO exciting! Before you know it, Leanne, you'll be talking a mile a minute again, just like you used to... Keep up the hard work! (If you haven't gotten any grey hair over this weekend, Di, I don't think anything can)
ReplyDeleteA musical one:
ReplyDeleteA down and out musician was playing his harmonica in the middle of a busy shopping mall. Striding over, a policeman asked, “May I please see your permit?” I don’t have one,” confessed the musician. “In that case, you’ll have to accompany me.”
“Splendid!” exclaimed the musician. “What shall we sing?”
