Happy Birthday To Grandma-Great today!!This is Hadley's Great Grandma, My Dads sweet mom. She enthusiastically watches Hadley every Wednesday while I work, and usually isn't so willing to give her up at the end of the day. Between her, my own wonderful mom, Grandma Spencer, sister-in-laws, and Brent's doting family, I am able to work and not pay all of my earnings to day care expenses. She is held, kissed, spoiled, & loved all day long, getting to know her great family. Thank you so much you guys, for helping me. It's been a whole year, and the last couple months are making me wonder if it is worth it. We have done nothing but spread diseases around, and my mom seems to get the worst of them all. (sorry, mom.) I start to think, "apartment life wouldn't be so bad?" Sell the house, live off one income? But then I see the baby light up and clap when we get to my moms house, and I love how close she is to everyone. Spring will be better, right?

Brent is fishing out of town this weekend, and took our new camera. Otherwise I would probably post a picture of my cute nephew Connor playing with Hadley. He has been so cute with her this morning, playing peek-a-boo, riding her bike with her, and last night very carefully taking her through the playland at the infested McDonalds. He keeps lifting her over the baby gate. "oh, you want to go over there?"Funny boy. Nolan has slept through all of this, and they are not being quiet!

Things I love this week:
*amoxicillin
*french toast, coffee, and a lazy Sunday morning
*baby Einstein movies (if it wasn't for them, my hair would never get done)
*sunshine, strollers, and a minute to escape
*my husband leaving, so I get a chance to miss him
*red grapes and bananas. must be part of spring fever?
