Lucy's First Easter

We celebrated Lucy's first Easter yesterday, and oh were we glad to spend it with her! Last Easter I was very pregnant with her, and I remember wishing with all my heart that we could have her in our arms for Easter. This year, I got my wish. I was overwhelmed with emotions yesterday - both joyful and sad. My entire being still aches to hold Luke and celebrate holidays with him AND Lucy. I choke up when I think about how much Lucy would have loved sharing the day with Luke and how her life would be so much better with him here. Heck, how all our lives would be better with Luke here. But that is not the way our journey lies. The path we are on is still a good one. We did experience joy yesterday, sharing our day with Lucy and I was overcome with happiness and gratitude more than I was with sadness. I am just so grateful and happy to have Lucy here in our arms, and also to have spent our first Easter in the house of our dreams. God has been so faithful to us on our journey and I can't explain just how overwhelming the feelings of being blessed was yesterday. The song that keeps running through my head is "Looks Like We Made It". We have come so far. Look at our beautiful daughter...

Yes, we have come so far.

We hope you all had a joy filled Easter too.
