10

This photo was taken 10 years ago. TEN. Today, February 16, 2015, Haley is 10 years old.
























She is definitely not a little girl anymore. I mean, she's obviously a little girl, but she is maturing so much (as I've written about in pervious posts). Ten seems like an unreal number. She's an awesome kid. She changed us forever. She is double digits for the next 90 years.
Happy birthday to our beautiful daughter.

Ryan Story

I REALLY try and get little stories down so that we forever have access to them.

Last night at the dinner table, out of nowhere, Ryan says, "Mom, no offense, but I know why you're a little bit fat."

Let me rewind and say that last week Ryan asked what "no offense" means. I think I did a good job of explaining it as it was used perfectly in this situation.

Josh immediately buried his head in his arms on the table and I was left to try and act serious. I choked a bit on my food and then asked Ryan to explain.

He explained that I had 2 babies in my tummy. When you have a baby your tummy gets really big and when the baby is born, where is your tummy supposed to go? And I had 2 babies so it happened twice. That's why it still kind of looks like there is a baby in there.

Josh- laughing in his arms the whole time.

Me- taking the opportunity to tell Ryan that he can always say anything to his family, but that is a statement that could hurt someone's feelings.

Josh and I- laughing the rest of the meal.

One for the books...
