2nd Wedding Anniversary

March 14 is our wedding anniversary. We celebrated this year, at home, with Hadley! What a wonderful way to celebrate your anniversary. Last year, we had reservations for a restaurant downtown and about mid-day we decided we would rather continue working on the nursery and eat sandwiches instead of stopping and getting ready to go out. This year that thought didn't even cross our minds. We knew we wanted to celebrate with Hadley! Here are a few pictures from one of the most wonderful days of my life - March 14, 2009:

Heavy Heart

I love this song and dedicate it to Matt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7M7cJ4DydQ

He always can make me feel better through the "ups and downs." And lately, there have been some down moments. It may have been his birthday, but I definitely feel like he was my gift! (Don't make fun - I'm cheesy like that :-))

I'm also very thankful for my family and friends that I can count on through the ups and downs. We know what a blessed family we are and how lucky we do have it.

Happy Birthday Matt!

Today Matt turned 28 ;-) Somehow our age gap keeps getting less and less! It was a very low key evening. We ate an awesome vegetable soup (diet food-yum) and played with Hadley. Here are a few pictures of her helping Matt open his present:

I think she was upset it wasn't for her

 
Not sure what she is doing here.. but it's adorable :-)

It was a fun birthday! Anytime we can spend together is great!

Looking forward to our weekend with the family!

For the Grandparents

She is so serious when it comes to taking pictures!

I try to make her laugh but when I do I never capture the picture perfectly


She was very interested in the grass


Yucky.. that doesn't taste good!

What kind of parent lets their kid chew on dirty germy car keys?!

Hadley doesn't have an ear infection! Ya! She does have a nasty cold and cough with fluid in her ears. They are not infected though so that is great news. Matt surprised me today.. he met us at the doctor's office. I love it when he surprises us!

After the appointment, I went to Chick-fil-a for my last meal before I really try to diet, SERIOUSLY. I was going to go all out and get something bad, but I didn't. I was good and ordered the grilled chicken sandwich on wheat. I figured I have been having enough "last meals" that I better just start now! Hadley and I ventured to the grocery store afterwards so I could get all my healthy food. This is the first time I sat her in the front of the basket and not in her car seat. She loves looking around and observing things so I figured this was a win-win situation. Well, it was not as win-win as I figured :-) She is into touching, chewing, slobbering on everything. I had to push the cart and hold my list out of sight because if she saw it she was trying to eat it and would cry when I took it away. I had to do this with everything I put into the basket. So this leads to the title of this blog.. I am that kind of parent who gave in and let my babbling crying child chew on dirty nasty germy car keys! I am so glad I use to pass so much judgement on parents when I didn't even have a child! I honestly thought I had a few more months before this stage but I guess not! She is into EVERYTHING and she cannot even walk yet.. oh boy!

Really?!
Matt has been working A LOT. In fact a lot in an understatement. He is exhausted, I am exhausted, and Hadley is NOT exhausted! He has been working about 16+ hours a day and every Saturday. I don't know how he does it. I am just trying to get feeling better with this thyroid thing and this past week had been very bad.. like more tired than I was right after having a baby, just not as crazy. Anyways, this has lead to a few mistakes on my behalf. This morning I made my coffee and Hadley's bottle. I usually put cinnamon on my coffee, however this morning I put red pepper flakes. Mmmm. Spicy coffee! On to my next mistake... So for a long story short I dyed my hair back to save time and money. I have a few okay lots of grey hair and when my hair color fades it turns reddish and I cannot pull off reddish hair. I bought what I thought was the normal hair color I use to dye my hair. Friday night I put on the hair dye and after about 5 mins it looked orange.. I thought it was odd. I never remembered it doing that before, but I just left it on. After washing it out it was definitely not the right color. It is kind of an orange brown. Sadly, I don't really care and will wait the 4 weeks before dying it again. My hair is already coming out; I don't need to make it worse. So today when I was at the grocery store I realized my coupon for L'Oreal was going to expire so I bought what I thought was the correct hair color.. nope I bought the exact same one as last week. I am going to THROW it away because if not I foresee this happening again in 4 weeks!

More to come later.. off to take Hadley to the Doctor. Poor baby.. I hope she doesn't have an ear infection, but I am pretty sure she does.
