Baby Hadley

Well, its hard to believe its been TWO months since I last did a blog - but time flies when your having fun! I am finally getting around to posting some of Hadley's pictures. It seems harder and harder to find time to blog - with three young ones running around (well only two are "running"). Hadley has been such a joy....she is so precious.....and although I forgot how much work newborns can be - it is so worth it. This little "oops" truly completes our family and I can't imagine her not being here. The kids absolutely adore her.....Greyson often has to be restrained - so as not to smother the poor girl! She fits right in to our family, she sleeps best when the kids are running around playing and being noisy.....thankfully, because there aren't too many times when our house is quiet! So, here are some shots of our little princess, Hadley Kay Drexler.......

Greyson, you stinker!

The other day Greyson asked for a snack and I told him no, it was almost dinner time and that he should wait. Ten minutes went by and it was eerily quiet - and I heard some muching noises coming from the kitchen......this is what I found.....I must admit its hard to get mad at that little face!!!!

Fourth of July

We didn't have any big plans on the 4th of July - just kickin it around the house with the kids. We did manage to make a fun jello dessert and played with sparklers. We thought about going to see the fireworks, but were all too tired to make it. Oh the joys of a

"Mom"

Well I guess my little girl is growing up - the other day she came to me and said:

Emma: "Mom"
Me: "yes, emma"
E: "I have to start calling you mom now...."
M: "Why is that?"
E: "I have always called you mommy and that is so babyish".
M: "Oh, okay!"

Secretly I wanted to cry - its the start of my little girl becoming a big girl....she doesn't want to call me mommy anymore. Pretty soon she will be spending more and more time with her friends.....sleepovers and all that jazz. I guess its just a part of parenthood - and letting go - but I am not sure if I am ready yet! To me, she will always be my first born, my little sweetie....and I guess this conversation just made me realize how big she is getting......(it might be the post pregnancy hormones that made it even worse!!!!). Emma you are such a joy and you can call me anything you want - but I will always be your mommy........I love you!
