Ok, so these first pictures are painful but I wanted to get some good ones on our last day with our babygirl last weekend. We took her to the park where she has spent so many days with us and she loves. Wes and I took her on hikes all the time before the boys came along and then in recent years, she spent most of her time hanging by the playground. The manager of my office has taken Haley and she is in such good hands, but we had such a hard time the days before we took her to her new home. I had taken her to the vet to get all her records and talk about giving her away and broke down in the vet's office. He was so nice and kept handing me tissues and telling me that it was ok, I was "losing my first child." Then on her last night Wes and I were both just petted her crying. But we felt so much better once we dropped her off at her new house. I get to talk about her all the time at work now and check in on how her days are with Jan, my co-worker. Sounds like she is adjusting better than I had thought and spending some good time in their yard outside and on their porch which I am so happy about. We do miss her terribly though. I feel sad whenever I see the empty spot in the kitchen where her food bowl was. It makes me sad to know Collin won't get to know her. Wes was remembering how Ashton would chase her as he learned to walk and she would run away and he would say, " Oh Hey-la!" (as he called her). Ashton asked if we were getting a new dog when we told him she was going away. He has only asked about her twice though and I think he is adjusting well. Yesterday he told me he heard her which made me sad. We sure do miss you sweet girl!

Now onto some happier times. Last week we had a scare that Collin could have some milk allergy due to some symptoms he had been having. Wes took him to the allergist and he tested negative. Praise God! Anyway, we had given him some soy formula and let Ashton feed him which was so sweet. The allergist had a "hay" day with Wes. He had some testing done too and his arms had hives so large that they ran together and the doctor couldn't even measure them. Wes said the doctor was in his glory and loving it. He hadn't seen a patient as bad as Wes in awhile. It was a hilarious story. The doctor urgently asked the nurse to get Wes Zyrtec and Wes said his arms were on fire. Poor guy. Our allergist said we didn't have to go far up the family tree to realize where Ashton gets it. Now we are the poster family for his office.haha

These last pictures are from a park visit with Wes' parents when they came last weekend.
