Hauf Household

Friday, October 24, 2014

Four kids. Four personalities. Tons of love. Tons of dirt. This household is full.

Emma Katherine

We waited in the hospital three days to meet you. You were too quiet inside me, and scared the pedditally out of the doctors and me. Your labor was insane. Everything went crazy. Only Dad and you remained calm. The doctors and the nurses freaked a little. I was beside herself with pain and worry.

Then we met you. Emma. You are the epitome of peace and love.

Since you were our fourth so many people asked if you were planned. Yes we planned on getting pregnant. But no, there is no way we could have planned for you. You, my love, are beyond anything we could have planned for.

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.
