Little Pea

Heard Hadley's little sister or brothers heartbeat today. I had my first doctor's appointment. Everything went well. I was nervous but better now after hearing the heartbeat! Little pea is the name I have given this baby and after reading baby center... Little Pea is now the size of a medium shrimp!

21 months!

So we celebrated your 21 month arrival by getting up early and going to place with Tyler and Collin. Their mom helped me make attendance sheets for Faith in Action. Then we shared lunch at Dairy Queen and came home for nap time. After nap we played outside a bit, had a snack. Which you always want. Then we walked up town for errands. It was a nice day outside!

Your favorite food is a tie between pickles and chips.
Your favorite drink is probably water out of a plastic bottle but you like juice too.
You really like to climb or rock on things. Pretend play is growing on you too.
You like to be outside and ride in your cozy coupe.
You like to color or at least get the colors out and get them all over the place.

That evening we watched the Vikings. They didn't look horrible but they need some improvements. They lost by 5 points. You went to bed at half time around 9pm. Thankfully you slept through the night until 7am.

This morning we had oatmeal and banana's for breakfast, which you didn't want, you wanted chips. Now it is time to get ready. You get to go to Grandma's today. Mommy has to work and then has her first doctor's appointment at 2:30pm and Daddy is working. He is working a lot. He even has to work tomorrow.

September already?

Hadley, Daddy and Talley sleeping... Well Talley was until I came into the room.

I am beginning to wonder why everything happens so fast... first it is Spring ... now it is Fall, where did summer go? Today feels like a fall day. It is simply beautiful outside. The sun is shining, the wind is light, the air is brisk and everything just seems to sparkle. This morning Hadley woke up at 7:30 am. We had a simple breakfast, cereal & bagels. Then we played, I read "The Last Song" while Hadley played. I couldn't put it down. I was almost done and any spare moment I had, it was in my hands. When I was starting to cry, I finally put it down and decided it was time to get motivated. So we got ready and went to the coffee house for a cinnamon roll, I had a small half caf latte. It was delicious. Then we strolled through the flea market and farmers market. Hadley and Nevaeh got a little toy kitten. They also got some M&M cookies and caramel corn. We then went home quick and grabbed the wagon and went to a few shops to check out the sales. We found Grandma a shirt for her birthday, hopefully we can keep it hid for that long. Then we went to the other coffee shop for a smoothie. After many snacks and playing ... it was time for a nap. Hadley went down easy, Robert was already asleep ... he got up at 3:30 am to go hunting. I read my book and finished it. It was a wonderful hour of reading the end of "The Last Song", oh did I cry... man it is so weird how much a person can get into a book. But, this book of all books really seemed to make me realize that we have to be thankful for what we have and that before we know it, it can be gone... and then I heard Hadley cry. I went to get her and she was still crabby, she wasn't ready to get up yet. She barely slept an hour... So I laid with her in bed next to Daddy and Talley. She fell asleep right away, I crawled out of bed. Did some cleaning and an hour has passed. Hopefully, they will both wake up happy and rested. I get to go work at BeLa's tonight, so I better start getting ready.
