superfriends

What a super day we had! We had a very nice day at church that included a luncheon and a Christmas ornament painting party. Dennis was completely exhausted when we got home and he napped for a couple of hours. When he got up, I surprised him by appearing in my new SuperGirl costume. He donned his Iron Man costume and we ran around for a while, saving our home from mayhem and bad guys. Or maybe we were creating the mayhem as we were saving the earth from bad guys... Now I've got to find a coordinating hero outfit for SuperDaddy somewhere.

Today he said he was thankful for his friends. It was nice getting to see him interact with those friends at Sunday School and at lunch. They socialized while they painted, and then they watched the Grinch together while the mothers finished up the ornament work. Speaking of socializing, we almost didn't get to eat our lunch because he kept getting up and going to talk to various church members that he knows and that know him. He greeted both pastors, and talked to Brother Brian (who was in his Navy uniform in honor of Veterans Day--we honored all the vets at this morning's service). Dennis was enchanted by the Navy uniform. He walked up to Brother Brian and said "I had to come and see your soldier costume--it's COOL." They chatted about the Navy and ships and submarines, guy things, before Dennis started jumping up and down and shouting "oh yeah!", and then we were off to see everyone else. I think it's just wonderful that he is so comfortable with the church folks and so happy to speak to everyone. So many people call his name and shake his hand or high five him every time we're there! It's, well, just super!
