Fall Day

Dear Hailey,

 

We finally got a chance to hang out with all the kids today & enjoy some of this nice Fall weather. We went to see Bella's soccer team win 3-2, painted pumpkins, played at the park at Buckland, ate some pizza, and went pumpkin picking (for carving) at a pumpkin patch we discovered not too far from the house. Complete with slides, corn mazes, donkeys, & a haunted farm. But, the kids were too young to enter the haunted farm.

 

Tonight, we have the girls & Dylan over for a sleepover while Ty is at Papi's. We have the boys for the weekend while Auntie is out of town.

 

While all this was going on, other 'things' were happening elsewhere that occupied my heart & mind. But I tried my hardest to focus on just having a fun day with the kids. I didn't want to spoil the day & so I won't spoil this letter any further either by making more mention of it.

 

Of course we missed you. We got you a white pumpkin that I'll try to carve into a Haileyfly tomorrow. :)

 

The best part of the day, is that we got to see your tree at school. And guess what? It turned pretty colors like the rest of the trees! Tyler & Dylan saw your tree & brick for the first time too.

 

All in all, a success of a day. We survived another day without the physical you, but with the help of your spirit in the skies, trees, cool fall breeze...and in our hearts, we did it with some peace.

 

I love you my beautiful girl & miss you every day.

 

I'm always looking for your signs,

 

Forever, your mommy <3

 

The girls

 

Never too old to swing.

Kids swinging with your rays of sunshine lighting the way.

Natalia takes after you on the monkey bars. Won't stop even with blisters
 on her hand. :)

Your tree! :)

Boys checking it out.






Just because I thought this was a cool looking tree. :)
