What did we do this summer 2020? Cherishing memories

Glass half full or glass half empty? We are a grateful family who focuses on the glass being half full. Yes, we have a healthy perspective of the C-virus, being responsible, but we chose not to let it control our emotions or our summer life.

Therefore, before Tatum returned to school, we took the opportunity at our Hay Happens meeting to review the whole summer and the good that came.

She brought her baby to join in the meeting.

Before we erased our Rock it Rocket, we snapped one more pic since tomorrow is the big day.

Ok, Coopy, are you ready? Look at his cute little “sitter.”

We spent about 30 minutes throwing out our memories. We arrived at 33 experiences!


There’s no way she can say, “Nothing,” when asked what she did this summer. I’m a firm believer in making each day count and counting our blessings each and every day. Doug and I want to not only model positivity and gratitude, but we want her to find the grateful in everything.

” Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.: James 1:17. We will look at all as a gift…each day, from HIM. (C-virus, you will not control our lives!)

Thank you for the most marvelous, memorable SUMMER, Hay family.

Tatum, I got to spend FIVE solid months with you, and it was the best of my life. WOULDN’T TRADE FOR ANYTHING. The three of us spent so much time together, and we grew immensely. My honey and I talked like never before and I RELISH every second; Tot and her daddy are closer than over. Can’t top that!
