Violet loves Ducks

Violet's favorite animal is not the Panda. It is unequivocally, the duck. She loves ducks. She's been saying the word duck for months now and we recently bought her a duck rocker that she loves to play with. Zach heard from a coworker that Cal Ranch had baby ducks and we went to see them. She loved them and knew what they were when she first saw them. Check out the pic.




Her fascination with ducks reminds me of my friend Jana and her baby KennaDee. Violet is now two months older than KennaDee was when she and her family passed away. They will have been gone 2 years this summer. Life is so precious and family is so important. I am so grateful that Jana was able to move on from this life with her family in tow. The day they died, Jana was able to meet her full-grown daughter. What an amazing experience. I think I have learned to treasure my experiences with Violet.

duckies totally remind me of little KennaDee too...& whenever I put a big bow on Scout, and when I look at Scout's eyes I can hear Jana saying she "sees Heaven when she looks in KennaDee's blue eyes."
If only I could hear her voice; I love having dreams about her & Bridger cause I get to hang out with them temporarily! check your email
