Jackie and Mark's Adventure: July 2008

Unbelievable

I look at her in Mark's arms and I
honestly can't believe she is already
so big. So many people tell you it goes
by so fast and to enjoy it, and it really
does fly by right in front of your eyes?!
So I've decided I will just have to spoil
her like crazy, take tons of pictures, and
just reflect on my BLESSING!!

Posing with DaDa

To continue the reflecting theme, another
tid-bit is that our wedding is two months
away...TWO MONTHS?!?! While I can't wait
for the festivities we may not quite be ready,
but invites are done and will be going out soon
woohoo....no turning back now?! ha

Silly Time

She's just too precious!!

Now that I have a break from class
I am spoiling her ALL evening long!

So, Mark definitely doesn't have air conditioning
and I have been driving his car lately. Lil miss
definitely got warm on the way home this day. Look
at these scrumptious red cheeks!!

Oh Hadley

This is a quick snip-it of her and DaDa

She's getting so active and beginning to
actually make connections, hence the
excitement about the bottle!

Hadley got her first ear infection, bless
her heart she is still a good baby even
when she is sick. This is her getting
nasty amoxicillin which she HATES and of
course she's been sleeping more and more!

Good 'Ol Steak Night

Hadley is becoming a steak night regular.
She was a trooper, slightly fussy but
I think it's because she is debating about
getting teeth.
Mandy's co-worker brought her son to meet
Hadley. Seth was so good with her, like
a pro!

"Aunt Mandy" decided to try on Hadley's
glasses, good times.

Lastly, this picture was taken tonight.
Hadley has been struggling with her head
and so we cheer and love on her ALL the
time when it is tummy time. Tonight we
sat her down and next thing we know she's
propped up like this. I cried. It was
beautiful. It is true sometimes it just
clicks...now if she could just get the cereal!

NEW PEOPLE!

Hadley's new look after bath time...

Holy Babies!!!!!!!

We got to meet Brogan this weekend.
He doesn't look happy here but I caught
him right before chow time.

Also congratulations to Bri and Cyle,
Cayden is darling. We can't wait to
meet him!!

RIBS

This picture looks crazy, but
my entire family got together and
went to the Rib Festival in Lima. It's
a great shot of the aftermath!!
It was awesome eating all the different
ribs, I could barely move by the time
we tried all the samplers. I got
to ride over with Mom & Dad
as well as Joe & Stacy. Man do I love
the feeling of riding the motorcycle!

Hadley just had too much fun, she couldn't take it!

New Orleans

To continue counting my blessings, I got
the privilege of going to New Orleans for
work. It was a quick trip, Tuesday through
Thursday and I was by myself. Such an adventure
to navigate a new place, eat dinner by myself,
and just getting to relax in the evening.

Of course it was SO hard to leave Hadley
but I must say it was EVEN MORE amazing
to see her on Friday evening!! My parents
came and took her home for some one-on-one
Hadley time!

Enjoy the sights.

Busy Busy

It's been way too long!!
Hadley has tried SO many
new things since the last posting!

For starters there is this hair do,
special credit to Abbi...

CONGRATULATIONS to Billy and Heather.
We knew it had to happen one day!
We made it to their engagement party
and as you can see Hadley was a real
hit at the party!!
