Heidi and Paige

So today has been a great day. It is grand opening week at the Little Brick House and that has been fun. We've had a fair amount of traffic coming through and it is good that people are finding us. Everyone really likes the shop. Certainly we could stand to have more of those people purchasing items but recognize that the first part of a successful business is to plant seeds for future harvesting. Our goal is to provide an amazing experience for every customer that walks through the door and to exceed expectations. I have watched mom run her shop and she is great at just getting in and talking to people. Amy likewise is a natural at this as is Padre.

Heidi came in for a tour of the shop today with her sister and niece. I suppose I should find out from Heidi if it is okay that I talk about her on my blog - Heidi? Anyhow, she liked the shop and the fam. That is good. After the visit I took Andy to school and when I got back Amy decided to give me a hard time. It was good up until I got emotional and couldn't talk anymore. That almost sounds like Amy picked on me until I cried. Not quite. Amy just expressed her observations and determined that I like this Heidi gal by the way I looked at her. I couldn't deny that I like said Heidi and went on to discuss that further but didn't get very far. I will just say that I am grateful for a good friend who understands much of what I have gone through, shares in some of the same insecurities I do and who loves the Lord. Don't know if that answers any of the questions you have.

Now, let me move on to the title of my post here. Who is Paige? Heidi has 5 children. The youngest two are twin girls that are 16 months old. They are as cute as can be. Paige is one of the twins. She is a doll. Without going into too much detail I will just share that Heidi found a lump on Paige's back a few weeks ago and it is cancerous. They are heading up to Primary Children's Hospital tomorrow and will be there for a few days. This is a very scary thing. So fam, if any of you are actually following this blog, please remember to pray for little Paige and Heidi. I appreciate very much your thoughts and prayers.
