Busy Busy Bee

On this lovely Sunday we took a trip to Nashville . . . we started at the Nashville Fair Grounds where at the end of each month they have a big flea market / craft fair. Karl and I are always looking for good deals on antique items, and little odds and ends that add "flair" to the house.

Hailey was of course dolled up, and today even had on her new shoes I got from Target. No sooner had we arrived and were walking around than I looked down and Hailey had on one shoe! I thought they started the whole loosing a shoe thing around the age of 1 or 2, but apparently the little monkey started early. Luckily it was only a few yards behind us and a nice man had picked it up. Silly daddy put the shoe back on and moments later we got to witness how easily she could kick them off. So we removed shoes. A few minutes later my friend Christie noticed that a sock was missing -- and so ended the wearing of the socks!
After a long day of antiquing and patrolling the crafting stalls Hailey was a little hungry and decided that my face would make a good meal, mmmmm . . . baby hickies!!












Next we moved on to lunch at PF Chang's! Yummy! Hailey had a wonderful lunch of Mama's Milkies before arriving and was in a milk induced coma for most of the meal -- but woke up and joined us for some conversation with Pete and Christine (yes, the same culprits that were partying hard with her early this week!)




Finally, we ended our Nashville trip with a visit to the Children's Hospital to check up on Tyler, Madi, Heather, Tony and Memaw. It was great to see them again, unfortunately Tyler is still in the hospital and quite sick, but is gaining strength enough to fight with his nurses! With lots prayers and a little luck he'll hopefully be out soon. Hailey was excited to visit the butterfly wall . . . and to bring "pseudo-big sister" Madi back home with us to Clarksville for the week so she can get back to school!

Talk about a busy busy day!!!
