dearest haidyn,
how is it possible that YOU, my baby girl, are 5?!
hopping, skipping and running your way through each day…never walking, never a dull moment.
your sister and daddy are your ‘most favorite’ people in the world.
on most days, you and ‘i-i’ are best friends.
since you could talk, you’ve said you want to be a doctor…
we love you and are so thankful for you, sweet girl.

irelynd and i took a fun little trip last week to visit baby leena….and taylor and joanna, of course:)
so fun to see this new little family together:
no surprise, joanna’s a natural at motherhood…
…i think taylor’s got the fatherhood thing down, as well:
irelynd did a great job helping joanna and taylor with sweet leena.
as you can see, it was a tough job taking care of leena…
….but somehow we survived
oh yeah… can’t forget to document irelynd and taylor’s game time.
thanks for such a fun visit, taylor, joanna and leena…looking forward to seeing you again soon!

this past weekend we got the chance to meet nate and jessica’s precious baby boy, redding winston picard.
he’s adorable.
a spitting image of his big brother.
the girls love him.
especially irelynd.
she got a bit too excited at times about ‘petting it .’
looking forward to meeting another sweet baby later this week….

irelynd just joined a new soccer team.
it’s her first go at a competitive team level.
let’s just say there’s going to be a lot of soccer from now until the end of the year.
soccer for u8′s is not what it used to be. serious business around here. this may be our first and last competitive season. we’ll see
irelynd swam 32 laps in an hour.
(a video clip for nana:)
haidyn’s working on her swimming, as well…
both girls ran their little hearts out for their annual ‘spirit run.’

irelynd started swimming on a local swim team back in january.
it’s been so fun to watch her strokes improve over the past couple months…she’s a great, little swimmer.
she has a fantastic freestyle and backstroke…
and, well…we all know how hard the butterfly is

after a great time with the nanas’ and papas,’ we headed up to breckenridge to meet some of our friends from san diego.
it was a great week with the o’brien family.
the girls adore these boys and they all had so much fun.
not sure where irelynd’s pants went in this picture?
abby and quinn (aka ‘boppy’)
sisters.
a cheesy duo.
hitting the slopes.
the last day of our trip, we headed over to copper mtn. to do some tubing.
irelynd’s already counting down the days until ‘next year’s ski trip.’

irelynd was awarded a spot last month at her school’s reading and writing program, ‘author’s tea.’
there are only four ‘author’s tea’ programs throughout the year, so it was a really a big honor for irelynd to participate…and she was quite proud of herself:)
you are so full of energy, spunk, life.
you are strong, independent, passionate and have big dreams for such a little girl.
…some days it’s a ‘baby doctor’ or ‘doggie doctor’, others it’s an ‘astronaut doctor’…but dr. haidyn, nevertheless.
your daddy and i pray that as you continue to grow, you will allow god to show you how to take all your dreams and talents and run with them…to ultimately bring him glory.
