The Days of Our Lives

I promise there is a reason for a lack of posting...we have been kinda busy.

We have been busy non-stop working on the house. Painting, cleaning, organizing...everything is painted except our master bedroom, guest room & laundry room. But 2 out of the 3 can wait until next year if I feel like it. And I might just feel like it.

We had a beach vacation trip planned, but we decided to go to Columbia, MO to spend time with Justin's family - especially his grandpa. The Cornell/Berkley family could use some prayers right now. Grandpa was diagnosed a few weeks ago with lung cancer and has gone downhill pretty fast. Within a matter of days he was up, walking around & acting like himself and by the time we were leaving town he was basically bed ridden and needed 24/7 help. Justin especially had a hard time leaving. How do you tell someone goodbye forever?

Haylie and I spent a lot of time with SIL Brei and cousins Jagger and Cash. We had fun! Haylie tried out the pool for the first time and got to be loved on (A LOT) by Jagger.

Highlights:

So happy at the KFC Buffet in Blackwell, OK. Here's a thought - if you are trying to make good time on a 8 hour trip with a baby, don't ever stop at a buffet still in the same state you live in.

Not sure she likes the pool and definitely didn't like water splashed on her face. You almost can't see her with all the green! Oh wait, there's those chubby arms. (I think she looks a lot like my mom in this picture!)

Jagger learned the art of self-portraits as well...

We got to stop by some of our friends house in Wichita on the way home. We were only there for about an hour - but it was great to see them. Picture of Coralie and "Baby Haylie". Love it!

Pictures of the house to come soon...I promise.
