Easter

After our crazy night at the Emergency Room, John wasn't in much of a mood to do anything or use his left arm. He walked around with it at his side like it was withered and wasted away. He was too scared to do much with his Easter basket, so we weren't able to get any good shots. He was very somber and didn't feel the joy of being able to say Alleluia after not being able to say it during Lent. He did, however, love his trains and beep beeps (cars) that the Easter Bunny left him.

Later, we headed toward the Zamarin House in Malibu for supper at Uncle Ron and Aunt Sally's house. As always, the Easter decorations were out en masse and the view from the bluff was spectacular. At first, John didn't want to use his arm. He was doing things with his right hand, but as he started playing with Adriana and Tommy, our little gimp forgot that he was scared to use his arm. It was such a relief to see him gripping his trains with his left hand. He was quite taken with the fish pond in the front courtyard. As you know, he loves water and this just made his day.

Later, as we drove to the Gonzalez House, John took a nice nap. When we got there, he was off like a bull in a china shop. He just went crazy playing with his Gonzalez cousins. He ran around in circles and just delighted his aunts and uncles. This boy knows how to work a crowd. It's good he's going to be the ambassador to the Vatican some day.
