You don't have to be the Lorax to join in the celebration of Arbor Day! The focus of Arbor Day is trees, and if you can't hug a tree today, you can read a book about one, either on paper (made from trees) or digitally. Here's some titles to get you started, and a question to start a conversation: what is your favorite tree? 🌴🌳🌲

Happy Earth Day!!! We are all incredibly fortunate to live on this great big planet filled with all of the living creatures we love, including us humans! This holiday is a good excuse to get outside (weather-dependent) and enjoy our beautiful world! And if the weather doesn't cooperate, reading books about our amazing planet and how to keep it safe is another wonderful way to celebrate 🌏🌎🌍

We attended the Forever in Bloom event today at Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital, and we were absolutely in awe of the work and heart that went into the event. Seeing members of Beau's care team was incredible, especially since we only see them online these days! Being able to introduce Beau's little sister to everyone was bittersweet and wonderful all at once. The speakers and activities and presentations meant so much to our family! Thank you to our MWPH family for continuing to care for us!

Today, many people celebrated Easter! The holiday is one of the most important to people of the Christian faith, commemorating the day Jesus Christ was resurrected (aka came back to life). However, the holiday also has a secular side, welcoming spring with rabbits, chicks, flowers, eggs, and candy! Personally, I like reading about the holiday while munching on chocolate πŸ˜‹ We hope everyone who celebrates had a lovely day today ✝️
