Thankfulness Friday - Easter!

Easter is my favorite holiday of the year.  I like it much more than even Christmas.  It's about the sacrifice and resurrection of Christ Jesus.  It's my favorite time of the year - spring!  Flowers and some trees are blooming.  There's a new crisp green to almost everything.  Birds are singing.  There's warmth in the air even though I can still see my breath on some mornings.  Everywhere I look, the earth seem to be waking up from winter slumber.  There's renewal and a sense of starting afresh.  I love it and am so thankful for Easter and spring!

I get a four-day vacation for Easter.  So, even though it's still only Thursday, it feels like Friday.  I'm savoring each second of this short break to rest and play with Baby Bunny.  Come next Tuesday, it'll be a lot of manuscript writing until the end of the month!

Bun Bun Notes:
With Down Syndrome, everything becomes more difficult.  Acquiring new skills and reaching milestones take a lot longer than usual.  At our home, we celebrate every little achievement Bun Bun makes.  This week, we cheered when she rolled over from her back to her tummy all on her own.  It took months of building up her trunk strength and head control.  At last, she lifted her legs up, swung them over to one side, and finished with her arm fully flung to the same side.  She did it!  Hooray!
