the daughter


I love Hailey's natural desire to obey. (don't you wish every child came with that chip installed?)
I love how Hailey has 100% focus on the task at hand. I think her teachers enjoy this quality as well.

I love Hailey's dedication to teaching.



Hailey has this deep desire to nurture. It is so awesome as a mom, to watch my daughter mother her little brothers.





I love how to most of the world, she is serious and shy but at home her shell disappears, and the crazy comes out.





I love her desire to create. From Nature journals to self illustrated novels, to plays, to invented games, she is always creating.





I love having Hailey in my family.
She is a strength in my life,
An example to me,
And one of the brightest lights this earth has ever seen.





Our home is a better place with her there.

What a freaking doll. Yes, it's too bad all kids aren't born with that "desire to obey" chip. I wonder how much that costs to get installed...

I have been peeking frequently lately, not commenting, but peeking. Natalie told me she saw you. I would like to see you again too. You are always so fun to be around. Maybe when and if Aimee comes for sometime this summer we can have a ladies BBQ. Anyway, I like your reflections of your children. It makes me wonder if I will ever get a child who willingly obeys...hmmm, there is still one cooking and maybe he is the one!
