Today I got two walks in. My niece and nephew (Lexi and Alex) are staying with us for the week (Yippee!!) so Greg and I took them to Park Meadows mall today. We walked around the mall twice and watched Alex ride the escalator up and down at least a dozen times. The second walk was around the neighborhood tonight for a mile with Lexie. I got tired watching her do her drills. It's been almost two years since we've seen them and they both have grown at least a foot. This morning we went by the nursing home to see my mom. She used to take care of them a lot when they were little. It surprised me when she recognized them right away. She was the happiest I have seen her in ages. It was a mixture of happiness and awe. Dementia is such an interesting thing because then I saw a cloud pass over her and she said, "But I have missed so much of them growing up." It has been 6 years since they have seen each other. Tomorrow I am going to take all the grandkids at once to see her. I can't wait:-)
