Thanksgiving Feast

Last Thursday Haylee had a Thanksgiving Feast at her preschool. I was able to attend since I took the day off to go to some doctor's appointments with Travis. Here are a few pictures that Melissa took during the feast!

Playing Catch Up- Halloween

Our Halloween festivities began on Thursday. Haylee had her Fall Party at school. The kids were able to wear their costumes and had a lot of yummy treats. Travis was able to leave work early and surprise Haylee at her party. She was so excited to have her daddy at school. Haylee was also able to introduce daddy to all her friends that we hear SO MUCH about.

Thursday night Travis began feeling sick and on Friday he was not feeling any better. He left work early and headed to the ER with thoughts that it may be apendicitis. Travis was admitted to the hospital and put on antibiotics for an infection where he stayed for 6 nights. He is feeling better and will have a follow up visit next week for some more tests. We are so glad daddy is home now!
We went trick-or-treating on Saturday without daddy. We missed him so much! I dressed the girls up in their costumes and took the girls to visit daddy before the big night.

After our visit with daddy, we headed to the Central Baptist Church Trunk or Treat. We went to see Aunt LaLa and her boyfriend Cody.

After the trunk-or-treat, we joined Briley and KK for some trick-or-treating in the neighborhood.

Matt,
It is so hard to believe that it has been 5 years since we last saw you. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you. I often find myself thinking about you in the car. I can still hear your voice and laugh. I can still see your facial expressions and body mannerisms. I can still feel your presence everyday. I am so thankful for all of the great memories I have. They all make me smile. I miss you so much, more than words can express!
Love,
J-fer
