Sprinkler fun!

Robb worked in the yard and turned on the sprinklers to water. Abby wanted to run in them. Haylee decided to do it also. The were both shaken by the time we stripped them down and brought them in. They had fun.

Recovery

Life with the Havens family has been crazy! Haylee had her first field trip this year and she actually rode a bus! What big stuff for her and yes mommy went with her. What a fun ride for mommy as well 2 weeks after surgery. Abby is crying out for attention from mommy since she cant be held, pick up or anything else she use to do. Poor baby! We hit, throw, swing, kick, spit and scream at the top of our lungs. We had terrible 2's and 3's will she calm down after she turns 4 in September? I pray so. She can be the sweetest thing at times and it makes me wonder how she can be that other side! Who said being a mom ( stay at home mom) was easy must of had a nanny. My house stays wrecked. One morning I picked up sleeping bags twice in a2 hour period. Does this build character for us as well as for them? I am blessed and Thanks to Philippians 4:13 I am reminded "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Thank You Lord! Easter is almost here and lesson learned from He is Risen is so great for my children. Even Abby who wants to hear and bits and pieces come out of what she gets from it. Haylee bug prays for all her friends, dogs and babies, very well thought out and Long. She takes after her Papaw "Rick".
All in all we are blessed to have each other crazy and all. Thankful for a God who teaches us big life lessons in small ways. Well small compared to some?! Robb has enjoyed and learned that his role as father does not have to be a sports role. Since Haylee has a great dislike for most sports she has tried he has found other ways to bond with her and fill her love tank. Abby might be the high heel wearing soccer player or nails done basketball player he wants. Finding there place is the greatest gift next to God giving us these 2 precious girls that are complete opposite.

Up to Speed

Here are the pictures of our fun time right here in the falls. Aunt Brenda (aka Nanni) had some work here and stayed in the hotel with an indoor pool. Cousins Kel, Hunter, and Wessy came to visit for a few days! We had a blast. I survived the not so scarry surgery. Have been home and trying to rest as much as I can while stilling taking care of the kids. Robb has been an amazing help and is loving it. God works in mysterious ways. Thanks for all the prayers, meals and pickups w/ the kids to everyone!

Putt-Putt

Aunt Brenda (Nanni), Kel, Abby, Haylee and Wessy play golf.

Too much fun!
