Vacation ...

dinner at the Rainforest Cafe at Downtown Disney! Haley liked the gorilla --- it's just like her book "Goodnight Gorilla."

Hanging with Noah!

The end of last week, Haley got to hang out with her cousin Noah! They just love each other & love to play together. In fact, a lot of times --- it is much easier on me cause she has someone to play with. Check 'em out --- watching Elmo!

With GREAT Sadness ...

I really hate the idea that people (you!) might hear our sad news this way but since I know that I don't always see everyone & some of you found out this way, that I better tell you this way. On Friday, I went to the doctor for my 4 week check-up & unfortunately, the baby didn't have a heartbeat. :( We are really sad & at the same time, trusting God & believing that He knows best. And we are definitely reminded about just how fragile life is & how much of a miracle babies are! We are so thankful for Haley Boo! I did have to have surgery --- that was done on Tuesday & I'm recovering really well. Micah & I are both grateful b/c my mom was here already to help with DRIVE so she ended up being my nurse. And a huge thanks to Rachel for taking Haley for us during the day! I have great friends & family. I don't know how I'll be emotionally as the days progress --- we'll definitely appreciate your prayers. THANK YOU!

Makin' Cookies

Haley is big helper! And she is wanting more & more to know what I'm doing in the kitchen. So, I decided that she could start helping. Look at her go! I'll be letting her fix meals on Tuesday & Thursday nights from now on. Ha! :)

Do You See A Future?

Perhaps it will be the WNBA??? What a talented young girl!

It's Monday!

What a great day --- the weather is just perfect! Hope you are able to get out & enjoy it if only for a few minutes. I thought it was time for an update. Haley loves to sit in boxes, baskets, etc. In this picture, she cleaned out all the diaper changing stuff so that she could sit in the basket. How cute is she!?

Sometimes in the mornings if Daddy leaves early, we like to take a couple pictures to say "Good Morning!" Here is one of today's pictures:

Sometimes when I need to get ready in the morning, I let Haley watch a video in my room. I was brushing my teeth & when I turned to check on her --- she had climbed up on the bed & was trying to change the channel. She is quite the climber!! (Yes, that is a HUGE pile of laundry on the floor that needs to be folded. Shhh, don't tell anyone!)

Swing

Do you ever wish that you could just enjoy life like Haley is enjoying this swing?? Forget about all your other worries & just SWING! It's raining outside today ... but maybe you can take a few minutes to just laugh, smile & have some FUN. I really want to --- she is only going to be this little for a blink of an eye & I don't want to miss it. Happy Monday! :)

Where did the Stevens go??

So, you might be wondering what happened to us --- well, I don't really know. We just haven't been on the blog lately doing updates. But in case you didn't hear our news --- we are expecting baby #2 in October. We are very excited & I'm just a little freaked about having two kiddos. I know it will be fabulous --- just not sure I can handle it. Oh wait, maybe that's b/c I'm nauseous & sick right now not to mention the 6+ weeks of other illness that have plagued our household. Anyways --- can't wait to meet our new bambino! Pray for us to get healthy & stay healthy. :)
