Excuse the complete picture here…Let’s get his weight.

Now she gets to dress him! He’s going out for a walk, so he has to get protected from the sun.

Exhausted! Let’s get him in his bouncer.

And get that boy fed!

Tatum will read to him as he falls asleep.

And tomorrow, we’ll go to Costco and get Tot’s new glasses!

How does he look?

He’ll go in his Pillow.

What do you think!!!?

A beautiful mommy.

We have to get home because see this daunting schedule?

Right now he’s resting. She’s a great mom!

It’s kind of a synonym for our lives. Weaving side to side; up and down; fall; trip; sprint….It’s all in there like a rich spaghetti sauce. Tatum made this the other day in our living room as she tired herself out.

I think all three of us Hays feel this way daily. Tired. Run down. Exhausted from the challenges…. We need some joy, right?

Well, this did provide some laughter and smiles. (and a few bruises along the way)

Sometimes I wish we could have our obstacle course end like this! But, alas, Jesus didn’t promise us things would be easy.

I love you Tot. Thank you for illustrating this, and for making me smile.

We had to RETURN to the eye doctor. Now things are blurry far away.

It was a NEED to have pretty toes and feet since one part of her body is not fixed quite yet.

But Tatum ALWAYS gives back. She got this little unicorn for 2-year old Eliana since she was to babysit her.

We are grateful.

The storm last night….you would think that God was furious. Our home took a real hit. Doug even had to stay home from work due to all the damage.
One of our trees in the front may be irreparable.

And the backyard??
Our Pergola completely ruined.

God, we are sorry.

We had a SURPRISE today! I had it all planned out. She’d walk in and IT WOULD BE…ELEPHANT HEAVEN!

and some Gluten Free/Egg Free/Dairy Free apple muffins. (ugh..I think they worked?)

How cute is this table?

And she was SOOOO surprised!

And she got a lil elephant lovie!

We’re ready for her reborn.
She hasn’t changed at all. This was her when she was 2…completely nurturing. I love my girl.

Tatum found out today why she has been feeling AWFUL almost daily. We cut out all the potential allergens and to no alas…no change. No dairy, gluten, eggs….still, major nausea, cramping, fatigue.

We opted to see Dr. Katz for a food test and alas we found some major culprits that I feed her daily! And that are in so many foods.

And the verdict???? Vanilla, Lemon, Potatoes, Gluten, Avocados, Oats, Eggs, Cauliflower, Carrots…..many of her favs..and they are hiding in so many foods!

So after I threw out half our frig and pantry, we snuggled with Coopy on the bed. He was so sweet.

Coopy cheers us up!

And so…Sprouts tomorrow to find many alternative and to make many new ideas!!
It will be awesome!
Right Coopy?
