"Walking" Up a Storm

Rebecca loves to have someone help her balance so she can "walk"! She would walk all day if she could, as long as mommy or daddy will just hold her arms or hands to steady her and give her confidence. I think she really could walk on her own now already, if she just built up her confidence and paid a bit a more attention to her balance. Her leg muscles are certainly strong enough now. That's no longer the issue.

A Likely Story...

Our friends Ellen and Dwayne gave Rebecca a wonderful gift card to a local Alexandria bookstore, named A Likely Story. We visited the store for the first time recently, and got several excellent books there, and Rebecca met some nice little people her own age. One surprise was this cool wall-drawing of Winnie the Pooh searching for "Hunny." Apparently, the picture goes back to the origins of the bookstore, which lie quite a distance in the past, so the clerk told us.

My Easter Basket

Early Sunday, Grandma Jacobs organized an easter hunt in our living room. Rebecca found many gifts, including beautiful new clothes, all around the room, and collected them in a nice Easter Basket.

Wow! I Got the Bishop's Easter Blessing!

Rebecca really liked Bishop Jones, and Bishop Jones spent some quality time with her both before and after the Easter Sunday service!
