Long ago, before Lucy was born, I (Michelle) used to nanny for the two sweetest girls in the universe (pre Lucy, remember, pre Lucy. ;)), Hailey and Madeline. Hailey and Madeline captured my heart in the three years I knew them, and I never forgot about them. In fact, after I stopped nannying for them, I still kept updated on them by their daddy and grandma.
A few days after Lucy's birth, Jeff and I got a desperate call from Hailey and Madeline's daddy (Aaron). Aaron's mom, their grandma, died a few weeks ago. She had been raising them since I stopped nannying for them, and Aaron is unable to care for the girls himself. He asked Jeff and I to become Hailey and Madeline's custodians, permanently.
While Aaron is still going to fill a role in Hailey and Madeline's life, Jeff and I said yes, and as of yesterday we have three beautiful girls. Our lives just got a whole bunch busier and a whole bunch more loving, and we could not be happier.
BTW, Hailey is seven and Maddie is going to be five soon. They are amazing!
Today we have a busy day planned for Jeff, since it's his first Father's Day. Last night we made him cupcakes and we are going to ice them today. Hopefully it doesnt rain because we have a barbeque planned. Lucy's (and Hailey and Maddie's...god, I have to get used to that!) uncle John and aunt Cammy are here from Kansas and we are going to have them and maybe Uncle Adam if he decides to show as well as Jeff's mom and dad and some of their friends and their two teenage daughters over. We are going to have ribs barbequed. Mmmmmm. Although we got Jeff Tiger Woods Golf for Wii for his gift, I'm sure Hailey, Maddie, and Lucy are the best gift of all for him. :)
Until next time
Michelle
