A Scottish angel named Eileen landed in our house yesterday! Eileen volunteers for Hospice and she came to watch Carmen so I could take Lauren to lunch. I never know how people will react to Carmen. A special few are perfectly at ease with Carmen and Eileen definitely is one of these! She had a whole conversation with Carmen and even made Carmen giggle a bit. Lauren and I went to the mall to Chick-Fil-A for lunch and then to Stride Rite for new shoes. Every little girl needs a pair of pink/purple/blue/orange shoes! 
Thank you so much Eileen!
A big thank you to my friend Kerri for the two huge boxes of girl clothes!
For the past few days Carmen has smiled and laughed more than she has in months. I love her smiles!
