Can You Guess What This Is?

Anyone venture a guess at Hailey's latest drawing? I must say it's pretty creative. The other day Hailey happened to let out a little "toot." At the time of such passing, she was drawing pictures. Next thing I knew, she brought this masterpiece to me. Yes, it's a bum and "the smell." Life is never boring around here. :)

Hailey is 5!

My beautiful daughter turned five years old today! It amazes that she's been a part of our lives for five years. She is such an incredible daughter. I couldn't ask for anyone better. It makes me cry to think of the early journey she had to go through to stay with us and I'm so grateful that she is so healthy and strong. Five years ago today I was having pre-term labor (at 28 weeks) and was told that I needed to have an emergency c-section so that we both might have a chance at surviving the placental abruption. She came into this world blue, weighing only 2 lbs. 9 oz. With the help of modern medicine and a lot of prayers, she toughed it out 100 days in the NICU and came home to Doug and I in July of 2004. The day we brought her home was one of the best days of my life. She is such a fighter. She also has such a kind and loving heart. Thanks for being such a great girl Hailey. We love you!!!
