The Daily Hailey

Bradys parents dropped by on Friday on their way to a family reunion. Today, on their way back, they planned to stop by for a bit as well! The morning had been a bit rough on me, however. I woke up with chest pain, I was shivering, and nauseous. Solly had also woken up VERY sad with a tummy ache. He and I found some peace with each other after a while, and got a bit more sleep. Thank you, Brady for taking some pictures for me <3

We eventually woke up feeling a little bit better, and got the day going. We knew Bradys parents would arrive in the mid to late afternoon, and we just had a handful of things to get done before they came. I pulled some laundry out of the dryer and put it away. Brady bathed the kids. I got supper in the slow cooker and got the rest of it organized. Brady wiped down the bathrooms. We both did dishes, fed the kids, ran interference, etc. It was just a normal day with a few extras thrown in. Nothing too crazy.

When Phil and Elvira arrived, the kids were very happy to see them. They played and chatted and competed for their attention and once again toured them around the house. I think the whole group was thrilled to be together. The hubbub continued while Brady and I eventually set the table and got the food on. The kids were sad to break away from playing toys to sit at the table, but thank goodness, they actually like apricot chicken on rice, so it wasn’t too big of a struggle. Laela fought it a bit at first, but when she finally just ate it, she remembered that she liked it, haha! Thats not uncommon for our kids 😉 We had that and broccoli salad, and while I know its kind of tacky to say it, it was all really yummy!

After supper, there was a lot more playing, and dragging of grandma and grandpa downstairs. We gave them some extra time, but it had to be bedtime eventually. Needless to say, the kids were quite sad, but they did good. They still tidied up, got dressed and brushed and ready for bed, and come out to give lots of hugs and kisses. They did well. Once they were down, we made some decaf lattes and had some watermelon for dessert. It was a really nice visit.

They headed to their hotel for the night just recently, and Brady and I ran a tub for our soak. While today has been lovely, I’m very much anticipating tomorrow! I’ll be seeing a physiotherapist in hopes of figuring out some of this pain I’ve been having. If you care to pray, please ask that God leads her and gives her wisdom so we can finally get to the bottom of this!
