Lately

Life has been full & busy lately, so this little blog has been a bit neglected. I've had plenty of things I've wanted to share with you--Hadley's first experiences with solids, Shelby's birthday party, soccer games, Hadley's 6 month post, the list goes on--but I've just been worn out & haven't been able to find the time/energy to compose a blog post. Between Hadley still waking up once at night to eat {which I really shouldn't complain about b/c she only nurses for about 15 minutes, doesn't require a diaper change, and I just lay her back down awake & she falls back asleep on her own} & only about an hour of overlapping naps, I'm just exhausted by the time we get Shelby to bed at night. We usually have her down by 8:30pm and we try to head upstairs to get ready for bed between 10-10:30. So that only leaves us 1.5-2hrs to ourselves. In that time, we have to do dishes, shower, pick up the house a bit, pump..and then find time to relax! Anyways, I don't say all that to complain...I just say that so one day down the road when I read my blog book I'll remember that while this is such a fun season life with a 3 year old & 6 month old, it's also EXHAUSTING. But we wouldn't change it for the world.

Speaking of life lately, Derek has been on wards for this second half of September. And it's amazing how different life on wards is now that he's not a resident anymore! I still can't get over it sometimes! :)  Derek has to week work this weekend, but thankfully it should just be a couple of hours each morning. So hopefully I'll finally be able to get a few blog posts written! But before I go, I'll leave with a little comparison of Shelby & Hadley that Derek I can't get over....

Hadley is on the left at 6 months & Shelby is on the right at 7 months. Do you think they look like sisters? ;)

Happy Friday, Everyone!! :)
