Happy Anniversary!


Happy Anniversary to my favorite guy! It has been almost six years since our first date, five years since we were engaged and three years since we married. In four states and between multiple jobs we have built a life together and have grown our family from a naughty puppy to include a perfect baby. Jason is an amazing husband and father and I thank God every day for him and our little family. So here's to many more years of love, laughter, babies, wine, food, and many adventures. I love you Jason!

More Fall Fun

October continues to fly by as we have fun with our little Pumpkin. We enjoyed our visit with Robyn at the beginning of the month and Jason's dad came to stay for more than a week. It's so nice to have people come to visit and I know Hadley loves it. We had our family photo shoot earlier in the month and I love some of the shots.








We've had beautiful weather for the past few weeks - it feels much more like summer than fall. We've taken advantage of the weather and we've enjoyed some fun with the cousins at the petting zoo and the pumpkin patch. 


We have some more fun planned for the rest of October, including celebrating our third wedding anniversary and Hadley's first Halloween. In November we have some more visitors coming and we can't wait for all the fun!

Fall Happenings

October already! And it's finally beginning to feel like fall. We have had a fun few weeks and we have more adventures ahead.

My best friend and Hadley's godmother, Robyn, came to visit over the weekend and we had such a good time. We were able to get in some quality girl time and I love watching her and Hadley together. She was so sweet and bought Hadley a ton of clothes for the fall/winter. Now I just need her to grow a little bit so she can fit into them! I was horrible and didn't get any pics of the two of them together, but here are a few cute ones of the day Robyn got into town. Clearly, Hadley was excited!



Jason went out of town this past Sunday and he was scheduled to spend the week in Boston. Unfortunately he came down with the stomach flu and was told he could not be in the hospital so he came home early on Wednesday night. I felt bad that he had been sick, but selfishly it was nice to have him back early!

My father-in-law is planning to come into town tonight for a week and we have been looking forward to his visit. He and the family live in Charleston, SC and with Hurricane Matthew we aren't sure whether he will be able to make it out of town. As of now he is on the last flight out before the airport is due to close so we are keeping our fingers crossed that Grandpa makes it! He and Jason are excited to spend some time together and I know he is looking forward to some baby snuggles.

As I knew would be the case the minute we found out we were having a girl, Hadley has WAY too many clothes. She has multiple outfits she only wore once as a baby and even some that still have the tag on them. I tried to stop buying clothes and now we are in a predicament because the clothes we have for the fall are 9-12 months sizes and she is just now filling out 6 month clothes. One day Target was running a deal on their new kids clothing line - Cat & Jack - and I was able to get a few outfits for really cheap. This dress and leggings were too cute! The dress is pretty roomy, but the "one size fits all" leggings do not work with the roly poly legs attached to Hadley. I have boxed up the leg warmers but we're keeping the dress in the closet for now!




Yesterday was picture day at Cerner Kids and I was so excited for Hadley to take her first "school" picture. She is usually so happy and it's easy to get lots of pictures of her smiling. Well, apparently that was not the case yesterday. Robyn bought her the cutest outfit to wear and she was in a good mood when I dropped her off so I was hopeful we would get some frame worthy shots for Christmas gifts. Apparently she was very overwhelmed by the lights and noise and her sweet self didn't like the photographer tickling her with feathers. Her teachers told me she cried and it's unlikely they got a good picture. We left her outfit at school overnight and they are going to try again this morning so we'll keep our fingers crossed. I hope we end up with a few good pictures, but at least it will be a good story if not!
