I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Hailey: Birth - 4

This is my sweet little monkey.
We nick named her monkey because she had such a furry back.
Luckily, it's not there any more, but the nick name still sticks!

3 weeks
This is Hailey at 14 months.
Still our little monkey!
She has always been such a sweet and spunky little thing!

Her she is at 2!
And 3!
And her she is now!
My little 4 years old.
She is still the sweet and spunky little monkey that she's has always been.
Although she acts more like 14,
rather than 4...

Haily Ann, I love you. You bring so much sunshine and laughter into our little family. I love your smile, it's infectious. I love your grammar. I never know what's going to come out of your mouth. You speak better than most adults I know. You are so funny. You make me laugh all the time. Sometimes I'll be laying in bed at night and I'll start laughing because of something you've said. You are so fun to be around. You always want to do something fun and you have the best imagination. I hope you know how much we all adore you! Love you always and forever, no matter what, Mommy.

You've definitely got me wrapped around your little finger though. Who knew I'd love a little girl this much? You've got a special place in my heart forever. Hope you had a really great birthday party. ~Love Aunt Cindy
