First Grandchild's First Easter

 

Ruth the rabbit

In 2014 I posted on this blog "A Happy Easter" with two Easter family photos... from 1998 and 2014. Such a big difference from small children to grown children.

1998

2014

In that post I wrote about memories of Easter in church with small ones and was reminded of that today watching a family with 2 children a few pews ahead of us. Times are certainly different now as parents in masks struggle to corral toddlers... who still shriek and cry. That much is the same.  

But in that 2014 post I wrote,  "I look forward someday to having grandchildren, but not just yet, because I am happy in this precious moment. A moment that I know will speed forward just as quickly as all the other precious years did."

Well, 6 years definitely flew quickly and first grandchild Ruth arrived to light up our lives! Whether in person, in photos, or in video calls she never ceases to entertain us. And still, I am happy in this precious Easter moment.  

Happy Easter to all!
