Time with the doodlers

Gracie loves the movie, "Annie" so, when the final song began and I offered to dance with her, she leaped into my arms, and we sang together: "I don't need anything but you." 

It's taken a few days for her to warm up to me. I haven't seen her or her sister Marie since July. But I'm quite in love with them now. 

I'm learning things I thought I'd never have to know. I used to think I would have my own children so I didn't pay much attention to loving other people's kids. Now I feel there is no real chance of having my own kids, so I let myself love and care for the children who will launch themselves into my arms.
