For Nonny

Do you have a Nonny in your life? I hope you do. Maybe she is blood related or maybe she's not, like our Nonny. Nonny is Swedish for Grandma or something of that sort. I'm really not sure. We didn't have the honor of naming her that but all of her grandchildren and great grandchildren call her that. We got to call her that by default because she was our neighbor across the street for about 5 years along with good old Granddad. They are a wonderful couple who are godly and just overall nice people. My girl loves them and they are an adopted set of grandparents to her. There have been so many things that Nonny has done for B and our family but one of our favorites is the handmade raggedy Ann that she made. Well actually she made two because I wouldn't let B really play with the one because I wanted to keep it for a keepsake so she made her another. B loves these dolls and they rotate as her favorite doll. That brings us to the pictures. One of B's other favorite people, Courtney, bought her a dress over a year ago now that looked like one a Raggedy Ann doll might wear. It was a 3T so we are just now getting to use it. She wore it this morning and I couldn't resist taking a picture. So this blog entry is for Nonny (and Courtney). Thanks for making my girl so happy with something as small as a gift and as big as your love for her. I whole heartedly believe in the saying "It takes a Village to raise a child". You both are very important parts of her Village and I am so thankful for the role you have played in shaping who she will be even when she is a Nonny herself!
