God Bless the Bunnies....Especially the Black One


At the barn this week, Lolly showed us a brand new batch of bunnies, which fascinated the girls. So, before our little ride on Misty, we spent a good 45 minutes holding, petting and watching 4 new bunnies, no bigger than the palm of their hand.

The day was full -- after our little pony ride on Misty, and a visit with the vet and the vet's little dog, the girls played in the farm fields (and the mud in the irrigation ditches) before we wrapped it up and headed home for lunch, needed baths, and naps.

That night, as we were saying our prayers, the girls were recounting everything they were thankful for as well as sending prayers for those who may need them. After praying that Grandma has a nice airplane trip, sending hugs to Nonno and Grandma Dent and thanking God for Hayden and Misty, Ava adds, "And, God bless the bunnies," meaning the new ones down at the barn. "God bless the bunnies," I repeated, thinking this was pretty cute....at least until she topped it by added, "And, especially the black one!" Note which one she holds in her lap....the same one she has in all the pictures I took that day!
