Lilah's first egg-hunt at school

Do you know what warms this Mama Bear's heart?

When Lilah is included. Treated JUST like YOU treat you children.

I don't consider Lilah "different" anymore. She is JUST like your child.
Yes, she may take longer to do things that your child does, but she figures out a way to do them her own way and on her own time.

Thursday at her school she had her first Easter Egg hunt with her typically functioning peers.

She LOVED it.

The eggs.

She opened each one before they made it into the bucket.

And she squealed with delight as she played with her friends.

Lilah is loved so much by all the people she encounters.


These next two images are of Lilah and her sisters. The first if of her and Ashley.

Ashley is her "almost" step-sister. But, you should see them together. This is a bond I could have never expected, anticipated, nor seen God preparing for both of them. Ashley loves Lilah something fierce. And the feeling is mutual.

This next image Lilah is listening to Ashley's ipod with her headphones during a band concert. Lilah is being snuggled by Sammie and she loves to hear some Justin Bieber, Thrift Shop, Maroon 5, and many more.

The more Lilah experiences in this life, the more she loves it.

I am grateful for all that I have learned from my most precious gift!
