More Easter

I think Easter is officially my favorite holiday, it represents Hope and the Atonement and everything that makes life meaningful and I love the opportunity that the holiday gives me to focus on that. It was so much fun to decorate last night, knowing that it would make the kids happy to wake up and see something out of the ordinary in the kitchen. I was hoping this would help set the tone of good moods for the day and it did...

Not my favorite picture, but getting the two of them in a picture together is pretty difficult and I wanted to document the day and this is all I have, so here it is...

Randomness and A Little Bit of Easter

This little corner of the couch is Lola's favorite place in the entire house... Whenever she climbs in to it, she giggles to herself and gets a big smile on her face...

She loves it so much, she thought it would be nice to share it with her baby...

Cole loves cupcakes, just the frosting, but I thought it would be fun to help him decorate some for Easter... I LOVE being able to do things like that with him. His therapy has helped him so much to be able to follow some instructions...

It was very windy the other day and we were outside playing and Cole decided to run back inside to grab the kite he had made earlier that day in school... It is always amazing to see him make connections between things like the wind and getting his kite. It really is a blessing parenting a child with a disability... when you don't have any way of knowing what skills they'll be able to obtain and you see them make so much progress, it feels like you're a part of a miracle.

Lola easter-egg-hunted solo today. Apparently, Cole wasn't such a fan of the wind today, but Lola was quite the little pro. She didn't even have to be shown what to do, she just got the concept. Watching her develop is amazing! She is learning to talk and I am loving every minute of it. I remember waiting for Cole to start talking and he never really did, so every word out of her mouth fills me with so much hope.
