We Meet At Last!






We finally got to go meet Grant! If you have linked on to Grant's blog from ours you will know his amazing story. His aunt Kellie and I teach together and his mom, Allie, and I became friends through her. They live in Idaho Falls and we've been wanting to get these two together for months! Finally we found a day where we could drive up and see how they would get along. The funny thing is neither of them are used to being around kids their own age. Grant is used to being around babies who don't play with his stuff and Colin is used to being around older kids that just let him have his way. There were some great sad faces on both sides here and there when they both wanted to play with the same toy, but finally they found some common ground playing peek-a-boo through one of Grant's toys. All in all it was a great day and I loved getting to see Grant up close and personal. He is a sweet, darling boy and such an amazing spirit. Allie and Kyle are spectacular parents with such great attitudes about everything they have been through. Loved visiting with them and appreciated the delish dinner...inspiring! Thanks Allie, we'll plan on seeing you next summer, if not sooner!
