Hauf Household:

Friday, March 27, 2009

Dirty floors. Dirty Counters. Dirty Dishes. Crying children. Bad Day? No.

We all get a gut check every once in a while. Last night mine was Tuesday. I was reading some mommy blogs and stumbled on Tuesday's story. All I can say is we need to live each day. We need to hug and kiss our kids each day.

Each day is a blessing.

For a gut check please visit Tuesday's blog by clicking on the picture above.

The Hauf Story

Steve and I met in History class in our second year at Drake University. For me, it was love at first site.

Steve proposed to me the day before we graduated on the spot were we had our first date.

We were married in December of 2000, during a blizzard. The Haufs were a family of 2.

We adopted Tucker into our lives. He was our first hairy spoiled baby.

On February 22, 2007 we welcomed our beautiful, fraternal boy twins into the world. Nathan came first at weighing 6 lbs 10 oz. Adam followed 12 minutes later weighing 5 lbs 10 oz. The Haufs became a family of 4.

Tucker passed at home. Gone too soon. We miss him everyday.

A little girl Lauren joined our family on October 26, 2010. We arrived at the hospital 45 minutes before she arrived. We were surprised at how quickly she came, and even more surprised at how much love she added to the household. The Haufs are were a family of 5.

We welcomed Bear and Rudy into the family. Big hearts, lots of fur, and eight paws. No dog will never replace Tucker. But we learned to love a dog again. and again.

Emma Katherine slid into the world on April 24, 2014. We arrived at the hospital three days before she came. She came at her own pace and filled in the last space (or so we thought). The Haufs are a family of 5 +2.

We will be adding to the love in July. One more little boy will bless this home.

Beyond blessed, falling in love and over Legos everyday.
