Catch up - August events

So life has been very busy for the Mickey family. I am going to post today about our August events (sit back its a long one) and then later about our September adventures.

Hailey is no longer in daycare..what a relief. We have been fortunate enough for her to stay with a very good friend of ours. She actually has a little boy that is 1 and now she is also keeping Hailey. It is so much easier going to work knowing that she is in great hands. We love it and count our blessing each day that it continues.

My sister recently got engaged and Hailey and I will be in the wedding. They are getting married in NY on September 30th, 2011. Congrats Jamie and Brian. We are so excited to finally have Brian as a part of our family....and I know he is excited to finally be Uncle Brian. :) Since they got engaged, we have made 1 trip to New York so that we could start wedding and bridesmaid dress shopping. The fun begins.....I am so excited to be a part of their special day and the planning that is involved. Below are some pictures from our trip to NY.

So when we were in New York we decided to kidnap Aunt Jamie and bring her back to NC for a few extra days of "sista time". During her visit to NC, we took Hailey to the park for some fun time.

During the month of August, our friends The Whitehursts came to visit. They live near the Outerbanks. We love when they have the opportunity to come to Greenville and spend some time with us. They have a little girl that is one month older than Hailey, so we love for the girls to get together. It is so amazing to watch them interact and enjoy spending time with each other. Below are some pictures from their visit.

Hailey had her first haircut. Her hair was going crazy. We had been back and forth when to bring her for her first haircut and finally decided to bite the bullet and bring her. She was really not too sure about it.

Our town has a festival at the end August every year called the Watermelon Festival. This year we walked down with our neighbors and their kids. Hailey has such a blast on the rides with her friend Mckenna.

So my friends and I are still running a 5K race once a month. It is such an amazing feeling and I absolutely love it. Below is a picture of our August race, including all the little ones.
