Oh, Happy Day!

What a gift this day has been!

Lydia had a fantastic night's sleep and awoke proclaiming how good she felt and how she really wanted to play today!  I helped her to the sofa and started about the day.  A few minutes later she yells, "Look Momma, I can walk today!!!!"  Overprotective momma that I am, I explained that I did not want her walking without my help.

So, she crawled.

So, I pulled out the vacuum to suck up the 1 inch thick layer of dog hair covering our floors.  Cleaning has not been priority lately.

I could not keep her down though.  A few minutes later I found her in her brothers' room walking back and forth from Sam's bed to Luke's bed as both brothers looked on and encouraged her.

What a sight to see the three of them so excited about her new strut!


Snip-it of her practicing her gait


Later in the day, we ventured over to see our sweet friends, the Voiles, a true blessing from the Lord. The children played the afternoon away while Kim and I filled the air with words for over 4 hours.  So thankful for the gift of friendship.

By the time we got back home Willie had prepared a delicious supper and we sat down and enjoyed a fine meal, good conversation and laughter.








































Everyone's asleep now but me.
  
        I can't stop smiling ~ thinking about the gift of THIS DAY.



The Lord has done great things for us; we are glad.
Psalm 126:3
