Sprinklers

This afternoon we had some old school summer fun. Hailey ran through the sprinklers for the first time! She had so much fun! We had a little situation when she fell and cut her finger, it definitely bothered her daddy more than it did her. Until we put a band aid on it to get the bleeding to stop, she acted like the band aid disabled her finger, and walked around showing it to everyone.

Family/Maternity Pictures

We took maternity/family pictures a few weeks ago and got them back today. Our last pictures as a family of three! Here are some of my favorites. 

 

5 Years

Today J and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. They say you don't know what love is until you have a child, that is SO true. But you also don't know how much you love your partner until you see the love he has for your baby. Watching J and Hailey together makes me fall in love with him all over again, every day. We have been through a lot in the last five years and the best is yet to come!

Happy anniversary, Husband. We love you!
