Easter was Amazing!!

So our first Easter without a baby came and gone.  I really don't think I had time to think about a lot it.  Casey and I went to church and listened to a wonderful service, we then went to Memory Gardens and visited Abbott.  I really thought that I wanted to have a picnic there but still wasn't ready. His head plate looks so pretty, we put his name, butterflies, and his picture on it.  After about 10 minutes there with Casey, Amanda, Kaymen, and myself we went to the park for a family Easter Egg Hunt.  We all sat on a picnic table and ate picnic food so we would be ready for the festivities.  The party started with Chubby Bunny, followed by the egg hunt (kids and adults), then an egg race, potato sack race, and ending with a pinata.  My cousin Ashley did an amazing job and while none of my immediate family came to celebrate, I'm learning more about this new normal life of mine. 

Monday came and Amanda and I decided to fix a car seat and stroller for a girl that had a preemie on Easter.  Her little girl Ava was born at around 2 pounds.  We died the travel system pink for little Ava and we pray that she gets to go home soon with her mommy and daddy.  I had a lot of fun fixing this up and had a precious time getting to meet this special family.  They got to hold Ava for the first time on Monday for about an hour and as a mother I bet that was thrilling.  Our family will be praying for Ava and I ask that you pray for her too.

I know this post was a bit choppy but Easter isn't just to celebrated on Sunday, it follows over to many days because our Savior is Risen and will be forever more.  This is Ava's parents and the travel system Amanda and I fixed up for them.

The reason I Relay!

My reason I relay is for Abbott.  Abbott Russell Wyatt is my 2 1/2 year old son that has gone to be with Jesus.  Abbott died here on earth from a brain tumor called AT/RT.  He went through more than I can even imagine and I did everything with him.  This Easter is a huge remembrance for me because it is the first one without Abbott but also a reminder of the ultimate sacrifice Jesus did while dying on the cross for us.  I'm more thankful for that this year because Abbott is in Heaven rejoicing because of my/your Jesus.  If it weren't for Jesus My Abbott wouldn't be there in Heaven waiting on me.  I want to thank all of you for joining Team Abbott and keeping his Legacy going forever.  He changed many lives and he will continue to change more and more everyday.  I love my Abbott and can't wait til I am reunited with him, but until that day I will continue Abbott's Legacy forever by changing lives through the power of Jesus.
