Today we attended Claire's first birthday party. She was officially one last Tuesday. Hadley, Robert and I went over to Claire's party at 2pm. Hadley had a great morning nap, so she was in a super mood. We got there and Hadley knew right where the toys were. She played. We ate some chili. Margie made super yummy chili. Then Claire got to destroy her cake, after we sang Happy Birthday of course.
She picked at it slowly and then she started to get into it. She probably ate a 1/3 of it before Margie took it away and cleaned her up. Then she opened presents. All the kids enjoyed this part because they liked the new toys as well as the paper. Claire loved the ribbons.
After that it was time to call it a day. Most everyone was tired. It was a great day for Hadley and Claire was a super gal on her first birthday. Hopefully Hadley learned a thing or two from her good friend in preparations for her upcoming party on Saturday.

Thanksgiving Eve
Well, I have about 55 minutes before it is officially Thanksgiving. What is Thanksgiving? I know it is a great time to spend with family and friends but it also is a time for us to realize what we are thankful for. I am thankful for my dear daughter Hadley, I am also thankful for my health, my husband, my family and friends and well I guess in this economy, I am happy to have a roof over my head and a heat, lol!
Tomorrow we are going to Grandmas house. We will have the usual foods. This year will be tough. Grandma Bernice will not be there and this is the first holiday since her death that we will have to go through. I wish I knew what to say to everyone tomorrow, because this will be like the white elephant in the room. All I can say is that I am happy to have had a wonderful grandmother for 30 years.
Today, we just hung out. Hadley was on nap strike! It was a very hectic afternoon. She was really pulling all my strings. But, we finally got a nap in at 4:30pm and she still went to bed easy, just an hour later, at 8pm. We let Daddy go out with a co-worker and ring in the Thanksgiving Eve! Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Teeth
Today we noticed two bottom teeth coming in. Wow, we didn't really notice any abnormal behavior except that Hadley was clingy. So now we are up to eight teeth.
Tonight we went to Faith in Action. We played, sang songs and learned about Jesus. We have a good time. We came home and Hadley was a little fussy. We did bath and went down for bed at 7:30pm.

Happy Eleven Months Baby Girl!
As I write this I am shaking my head. I can't believe you are 11 months old. What a whirlwind of a year. It is so weird to think how you used to nurse 12-15 times a day and now you nurse maybe three. You used to lay in one spot and just stare at the bright lights of the Christmas tree and now you move as fast as lightning.
I remember when you were first born I would ask Shanessa questions about what is normal at your age and she would reply, I can't really remember. I used to think, how can she not remember it was only 9 months ago. Well, that is true. It is so hard to remember what you were like at 4 months old. I have been asked if you were a good sleeper, or how much you weighed and so on, and I honestly have to think really hard about it. This is a reflection of how fast time flies but also on how much is absorbed in both our brains in one day.
Today you spent the day at Grandma's house. It was Monday and I had to work. After I was done I picked you up and we came home. Daddy was home and he gave you a big hug. We ate dinner. You had spaghetti hot dish. You played for a while, then bath and bed. You were in bed by 7pm and I think you fell asleep around 7:25 or so. I cleaned from 7-8pm. Got to do it when I have the time.
Hadley Marie, we are so blessed to have you in our life! You make each day special and our life is so much fuller with you in it. We love you so very much!

Halloween and 30
Well I am officially 30 years old. I turned 30 on the 1st which was Sunday. We had a fun football party. The Vikings beat the Packers. I got a beautiful necklace from Robert, Hadley and Michelle. I also got a charm bracelet from Grandma and Grandpa. I love them both.
Hadley was a ladybug for Halloween. We went trick or treating with Claire and Margie. Claire was a little bear. It wasn't the best weather but we got a few pieces of candy.
Today is opening of hunting. No deer yet for Daddy. Grandma, Hadley and I went shopping and had lunch at BeLa's. Hadley ate a grilled cheese.
The weather is gorgeous.
