Christmas Joy

The kids were able to visit various retirement homes for their Christmas witnessing. Everyone loved them. I brought Dustin to some of the places nearby, and he was a real hit. He would go from arm to arm and just sit on their laps or babble to them.
It is amazing what a baby can do. One incident stood out to me. One of the ladies was blind and hard of hearing. She looked a bit lost with whatever was happening around, but when Dustin was put in her arms, there was an amazing change. She broke out into the biggest smile ever and her face shone. It was very touching and sweet. She sat there holding him and he cuddled in her arms without making a sound.
Another cute time was with a man who couldn't speak. Dustin sat on the table opposite him and they 'spoke' together using whatever sounds they could. The man was smiling and laughing as they communicated in a way we can only guess at.















One of our 12 FS members was the entertainer for the restaurant in the building where he has his offices. He invited us to accompany him and have the kids perform for the customers. The kids did their best show and the crowd was very responsive and appreciative.
