Haley is so much fun this Christmas, she’s at that perfect age where everything is fun and exciting. We set up our Christmas tree on Thanksgiving and throughout the whole process, she kept exclaiming, “This is going to be the best Christmas EVER!” She couldn’t wait for me to unpack the nativity set as she ...
I was sick for most of November. I started with a cold that turned into bronchitis that turned into a sinus infection. I finally got antibiotics and started feeling better, but it seemed I was always hit hardest on the weekends. The last weekend when I finally got the antibiotics, Haley took care of me ...
This was the first year that Haley really got to enjoy Halloween. We had big plans for her last year, but then she got sick ON Halloween and didn’t even wear her Red Riding Hood costume… 🙁 This year, with preschool as well, she was more than excited. We’ve decorated a pumpkin (okay, we tried! ...
Last week as I was driving Haley home from school she asked what the noise of the blinker was. I explained to her that it was a signal that told the other drivers that I was turning. I thought nothing more of it until this weekend when we were out driving and she reprimanded me ...

It goes on for three weekends and is the center of attention in this are during that time. This year Haley got to ...
Since the time Haley could talk, she always wanted to go to school. I think that came partially from when Jasmine watched her and they would go to school to pick up Grant (Jasmine’s son). Haley loves everything about school. So, when the topic of preschool came up, I was both shocked that my little ...
Mark and I took the opportunity before Haley started preschool to have a quiet family birthday for her. She awoke to a mound of princess wrapped presents which she gleefully unwrapped and then we picked up her grandma and grandpa Tarrant for a trip to a local, small zoo called Lupa. Haley loves Lupa and ...
