Haylee-6 months

Today, was Haylee's 6 month well-check and I'm happy to report that she continues to be right on track! Hard to believe that half a year has passed since your birth! Mommy is enjoying each moment but also praying that these next six months creep by a little slower!

Brooklyn's Dance Show-Off

This week, we had a chance to join Brooklyn in the dance studio for an up-close look at all she's been learning. All the dancers had lots of eyes watching them and I was unsure of how Brooklyn would do. There was a moment, at the beginning, where she acted a little shy but I'm pleased to say that she quickly got over it! She joined right in and appeared to have a good time! I was so proud of her!

Shooting

My dad and brothers have tried to teach me how to shoot my whole life! I've attempted multiple times, but being right-handed) I could never close the necessary eye in order to look down the scope. Finally, my dad said to just try left-handed, close my right eye and look down the scope with my left eye......which appears to be dominant. Ha...who knew?! It actually worked! Even though, I'm still not left-handed, I now know that that's how I need to shoot! It was a fun learning experience!

Black Eye

This past week, I got a phone call from the school nurse. Maddie (my go-getter!) had an accident in PE while playing soccer. As a result, she now has a nice black eye! She's a tough girl though and didn't even cry!
