HALEY JEAN IS 2!!!

On September 3, Haley turned TWO!  Since it happened to fall on opening weekend of OSU football, our party theme was easy.  We had a breakfast tailgate at our house, and we all got into the spirit...

I had a banner made because this will probably be her lifelong birthday theme.

My little cheerleaders- 4 & 2!

Cute cute cake

Birthday girl- love this face so very much

Meeting of the minds while frying bacon

Eating - such good food, and I didn't make ANY of it!  Thank you so much Grandma and Peggy!

Lawson and Grandad and the moustache-

Grandpa Don, Grammy and the grandkids- it means a lot to me that we can all be together.

Henry cousins- such a fun group!

Lawson thought the whole thing was pretty silly.

Haley wasn't so sure about blowing out her candle.

Laney had to coach Haley on the basics of blowing out the candle-such a sweet sister.

The only picture I got of my three buddies- didn't even get a family pic. 
Love them more than anything.


Haley's birthday also marks the anniversary (on September 5) of my post-partum cerebral angiopathy (stroke).  In some ways, it seems like yesterday, and in other ways, it seems like forever ago.  It has been the most difficult thing I have ever endured and has made me look at life and our gift of time so very much differently. Two years ago, I was in ICU; and this year on Sept. 5, I got to play at the park and go out to eat with my babies. 

Make every moment count! 

Happy happy 2nd birthday Haley Jean- I can't wait to see what God has in store for you!!
