We originally created this blog to keep family and friends updated about our little man Jacob, who was diagnosed in the summer of 2011 with a rare, life-limiting genetic disease called Niemann-Pick (type A/B). Jacob earned his angel wings on November 15, 2012, but remains our daily inspiration and constant reminder that we must live in the moment and fill each day with JOY, LAUGHTER and an abundance of LOVE.

Some"bunny" Special

We had another wonderful Easter! It was so incredibly special to spend time with our families. We enjoyed lots of laughs and ate plenty of good food! Due to Jacob's lengthy recovery after his hospitalization in February, it has literally been months since we have seen most of our extended family members. Jacob got lots of snuggles and lovin' from all of his grandparents, aunties, uncles and cousins. Jake was a little overdue for his afternoon nap, so we missed out on the annual Kelly Family softball game, but we heard all about it when the fam came back from the park ready for our traditional Easter feast!

Now that Jacob's older, we were able to enjoy a few more Easter activities too, including coloring Easter eggs and eating marshmallow PEEPS (courtesy of Jake's godparents)!  Here are a few pics from the past couple of days...
Uncle Joe and Auntie Nay hopped on by to deliver a special Easter basket.
Jake even got some quality time with his favorite little pup Lola (seen here reading with Jake).

Jake was so happy he was grinning from ear to ear (bunny ears)


PEEP this! He looks like he ate a Smurf!!
 
Coloring eggs with Daddy
Daddy snapped this shot right as the little man reached in to grab the egg from the colored dye mixture...oh joy!!


Snuggled up on the couch with some of his cousins
