Happy 9 Month Birthday, Haddy

Hadley entered our lives exactly 9 months ago today. Needless to say it’s been an amazing stretch so far, and every day I’m shocked at how fast it goes.

A trip to the Pumpkin Patch

While John was gone getting some things done yesterday morning Hadley and I stayed home.  I was able to clean the house while Haddy took 2 really good naps.  She slept for almost 2 hours in the morning and then took a 3 hour nap in the afternoon.  After all this sleeping and cleaning, we [...]
