This is one "first" in Waverly's life that will never be forgotten, even if I didn't have it recorded in words or pictures. Sadly, her first Easter is the day we buried my Papaw. He battled Parkinson's Disease (a degenerative disease that essentially breaks down the central nervous system) for fifteen years, give or take a few years, then about a month ago came down with pneumonia. On March 31, it all got the best of him and he passed away that morning. It's comforting to know that he was saved and is finally disease-free and with the Lord; however, for those of us left behind, it's sad that he's gone.
We went to Porter for Easter service and enjoyed showing Waverly off in her pink dress and adorable white sweater, then went to breakfast with my mom and fam, then headed up to Olive Hill, in eastern Kentucky, for Papaw's funeral. Here are a few pictures from the day...

Mamaw and Waverly
Me: "Mamaw, have a seat here if you need to."
Mamaw: "Oh, I don't need to sit down!" And she proceeds to show Waverly off at every table.
