Tonight was a date night for Nina and I. We've been talking a lot lately about being grateful for the things we have, so I was trying to think of something to do tonight that would support those conversations. We have a local homeless shelter here in Loudoun County, and I was really hoping we could do something like help serve dinner tonight, but since that wasn't available, I decided we would take some donations over instead. It was good because we got to talk about what it means to be homeless and how we're fortunate to have more than we need which enables us to give some things away. Nina really seemed to understand, and she was a good helper loading our items from the car to the shelter.
After that, we went to the library to pick out some good books, then we met Mark and Lyla out for burgers at Fuddruckers. Within just the past month, Nina started eating red meat (well, she'll eat a burger now). It's taken years of trying, but she finally eats them now and realizes she likes them. So, we all enjoyed burgers, and the girls didn't have any problem polishing off the milkshake they shared after dinner!
