Phew! Things have been a little crazy around here! August has been nuts so far and will continue to be, in a good way of course!! Winsley is rolling over, cooing, yelling, and smiling all the time.  We're going on a road trip at the end of the month and have our anniversary, and then my birthday too!

I haven't talked much about Winsley's condition specifically and don't really plan to.  I think I'm to transparent and disclose too much on here but I also think it's okay to make it known that sometimes life is tricky and we do struggle.  We had an important doctors appointment for Winnie that I was so excited for.  It was a great appointment and it went exactly how I would have hoped! But now we're left with the deicision whether to get expensive testing done for Winnie or not.  This could give us lots of information about what the future could hold for Winsley and our other babies but it won't necessarily change anything.  Usually when people ask me "What does your gut say?" I have a quick answer but I just don't know with this one.  And as all this is weighing on me and I'm fighting back tears Dayton is there to reassure me it will be okay.  I'm so grateful to be a Mom and for Winsley's health.  But, occasionally being a mom is overwhelming.  Not the day to day stuff so much but when it comes to making decisions about your baby. And then I look at Winnie and she's just a ham and smiles because she has no idea what's going on and sometimes that's even more heartbreaking. This little innocent baby has to go through all this junk.  I know it's more for us and these decisions do bring Dayton and I closer and help us put our trust in Heavenly Father.  Those "tough parent" hats are coming out again and we'll do whatever will be best for our family once we get that answer!  Thank goodness for trips to Gramma and Grammy's house, family dinner, and Winnie cuddles.  Those keep our spirits up!

Here are Winnie's 3 month pictures & other random pictures!
