Getting ready to look for eggs
I think I see one!
At church
Just the girls
Waiting to take our family picture
I wanted to share some pictures from Easter Sunday. Iliana is on spring break from school this week. It has been nice having her with us all day. She is learning how to make her needs known. For example, if she is hungry she will crawl to her chair and sit in front of it until you come to get her and feed her. I love that! She has also been giving me hugs. Love that too! She is interacting more. She has also been trying to stand on her own, without the use of furniture, but she isn't strong enough. She's not quite sure how to get her upper body to do what she wants it to do.
Sometimes I forget the journey we've had the last couple of years. I get so focused on the present situation that I forget, for a moment, what we have already overcome. I was talking to a mom on Reece's ball team recently about Iliana. She met Iliana before our last trip to South Florida for Therapy. We talked about all of the things Iliana is doing now that she couldn't do a year and a half ago. Chewing food, sitting, crawling, pulling to stand and some other little things like looking at me and hugging me, reaching out for me. God has been good. I was reminded that God has not brought me to this point in my life with Iliana to just leave me here.
