Moving on, coming out, and growing up.

Since our last entry, this branch of the Hay family has been quite busy. Last friday Moma Hay, aka Jeanette, had the "great" pleasure of having her remaining three wisdom teeth pulled (one had been previously removed...why only that one we'll never know). Luckily the oral surgeon was nice enough to knock her out quickly, and everything went smoothly. He was even so nice as to call her and check up on her later that day! it was a good thing it happened later, because she couldn't even remember writing the check to pay for the surgery! She came home and slept the rest of the day away, eating hello and pudding in between naps. Her wonderful brother and sister were nice enough to come over later that day and help out the family. It was a lot of fun having them around. The next day,Saturday, they even helped clean the house! They are wonderful siblings! Jeanette and Casey were even able to hang out and go shopping together later that day.

Luckily Jeanette had a week off from work to recover from her oral surgery, so the Hay family had some time to adjust to Ed's new class schedule. That's right, the spring semester started on Monday at IU, so we are moving on and one step closer to graduation. Unfortunately our future plans are very much up in the air right now. So much of our plans for military re-entrance is contingent upon so many different factors. Because of this, our plans beyond this semester are still in the works... but we are moving on.
Miss Lilly has reached a new level in growing up. This past Thursday she had her first day of daycare... and believe it or not, moma had a harder time dealing with it than Lilly did! Everything went very smoothly, and she made friends very quickly. She was ready to go to daycare and apparently enjoyed it very much. She is growing up so very fast, and is learning so much everyday! This week, she has started to color pictures and very much enjoys doing it. Included are some picture of her playing this week.
Well until our next post! Our love and prayers to all!

A New Year brings new resoultions...

Hello and Happy New Year from the Hay Family!!  We were blessed to ring in the new year up in LaPorte with Ed's family.  We left last Wednesday, and were able to stay until Sunday.  We were lucky to see so many people we love, including Ed's mom, step dad, dad, his brothers, Eliot and Colin, and Grandma and Grandpa Hay.  We were also able to stop by and see my step-sister Jaclyn and husband Brian, and my nephew Ty.  Everyone was doing pretty well. My poor petite sister Jaclyn is so pregnant that she looks like she might fall over from the big ball that is my soon to be niece.  Poor girl has been on bedrest since November, and I think she's about to go crazy from be stuck sitting down all the time!  I know I sure would be! 
Our whole trip was quite a success, Lilly continued with her wonderful Christmas spoiling. She had an amazing time playing at Grandma Susan's with all her new toys she received.  While we were there she was able to master the art of descending the stairs on her belly, something we just couldn't get her to do before then!  On Thursday we headed up to Chicago (after dealing with a minor vehicle problem with our Subaru) to spend some time at Navy Pier.  Our main stop was the Childrens museum at which Lilly had a blast!  We had a hard time convincing her to move from one exhibit area to the next.  She loved the water works exhibit. Even thought her hands were freezing from the cold water, she screamed when we tried to get her to move to the next area.   She is truly at such a fun age.  She is learning so much with each passing day, and she amazes us every day.  She loves all of her new toys, and it's become hard to convince her to go to bed because she is so busy playing. 
Well our resolution for this year is to try to be better at keeping everyone updated on the Hay's Happenings.  We were so glad to see so many of our loved ones over the holiday season, and we hope to see many of you again throughout the year.
Until next post.....
