Haney Happenings

Our little family has been a tad bit busy :) we've been hitting milestones with the little girls and driving many miles on the road together. Right now, we are all together and enjoying some down time in Missouri before we venture out for our next visit to sweet home Alabama.

Our baby girl hit her big 1/2 year milestone a couple of weeks ago. She is so much fun! She is babbling and giggling all day long. The greatest milestone, in my opinion, that she's reached so far is learning to love runs with mommy and sister! Oh, it's nothing shy of an answered prayer. A month ago, Edyn would not tolerate 5 minutes in the jogging stroller. Today, she was still laughing after 5 miles! Now, mama needs to work on endurance while pushing a "little" extra weight...

Big sister is still recovering from our country visit. She had the greatest time, and is still exhausted from all of the playing. She's been our late talker, but boy is she putting sentences together now. It's so fun to listen to her chatter. She's a sassy little fireball, and SO. MUCH. FUN.

Apparently when I get time to actually use my brain (like I did in AL when I was never accountable for more than one baby!) I come up with some pretty radical ideas. I talked my husband into, what I like to call, a fun, temporary lifestyle change :) On regular time increments, I get pretty disgusted with the food industry, then I eventually get sucked back in, then disgusted again- it's a never ending cycle. Right now, I'm landing on disgusted. My best solution is to cut ALL of the junk out. Now, we've done vegan and fell into the "convenience" trap and ended up eating meatless junk. I don't know how I did it, but somehow this time around I've convinced my husband not only eat CLEAN vegan, but also gluten free.  I don't call this a diet, but rather a "lifestyle experiment". Our goals aren't to lose weight but to rid our bodies of as much junk that we can and just feel our absolute best! I'm so excited, I'm a need and things like this get me fired up, I don't think it's a stretch to say my husband is a little apprehensive :) so, here goes beans, nuts, seeds, fruits and veggies :) yum!
