Happy Family Day!

28 Thursday Nov 2019

Two days ago marked the first anniversary of my granddaughter officially joining our family.

Of course, my oldest daughter had been caring for her since she was a newborn, but the wheels move the way they move and she was 20 months old when she became a member of the Haas clan in the last way necessary.

In the legal record.

So in celebration I don’t want to write a whole lot, I just want to let you in on the life of my granddaughter, from the beginning to the present.

Enjoy!

p.s. I am frustrated with never remembering how to find and move around pictures! So after 3 hours trying to get them in order, and not being able to find more early pics, I’ve decided to leave them random.

4 days old
With only a couple hours notice, Lexi took in Baby B as a foster.
22 months old with Aunt Martha
Brooklyn enjoys her sleepover with Martha almost every week.
Bee is about 4 months with Giggy (me)
Still one of her favorite things is to climb on my lap and cuddle.
Me with both the girls – Baby A at 21 months and Baby Bee at 18 months.
My heart was bursting with love that day! So blessed to be with them both at Baby A and Big Brother’s adoption party.
Harvest from our garden barrels. Bee is 2 y 6 m. Every week this past summer she enjoyed helping me weed and water our plants, and now she’ll be eating them!
Happy Birthday 2 year old! More toys to play with at Giggy and Papa’s.
Her hair has a lot of curl! Wild hair out of her ‘do at 22 months.
At family camp, 17 months, with Nevin, Martha and Eli.

I hope wherever you are on this day of Thanksgiving that you are able to feel thankful for the love and the people in your life, no matter what circumstances you are in. Over her life we had a lot of uncertain times, but we have been greatly blessed to go through them because they led to her adoption and being a forever part of our family.

God bless you all.

Becky

Minding My Own Business

Watching the “This is Us” season premiere this week I finally saw some of my own thoughts and feelings mirrored by some of the characters. And it wasn’t a comfortable thing. Talking about the hard issues that we’ve been facing over the last few months has not been easy. Racial injustice, police policies, political differences, […]

In My Humble Opinion

Someday that will be my go to response when asked what I think about topics near and dear to my heart. I’m not there yet, but I’m aimed in that direction. It’s taken me 59 years to get to this point. So I think I can endure another few weeks of the current political climate […]

Singing (or Praying) with a Mask On

When I was growing up there was a popular phrase ‘Don’t knock it ’til you’ve tried it’. People used it to promote something they enjoyed and you weren’t willing to try. One of my favorite things to do as a girl was to sing. Especially when there was nothing else to do. Like driving 600+ […]

Dump and Run

My whole life I have been a perfectionist. I know this because very little ever happens that is exactly the way I want it. You see, in my mind I can see the end result the exact way I want it to be. But in order for that result to come about there are any […]

Making Plans

When was the last time your schedule was full? I can pretty safely say that, except for two short trips to a college campus to move a child out and then back in again, my schedule has been open for almost six months. I’m not working outside the home, I’m purposely not going out where […]
