An International Champion & A Hot Mess

I just logged in to Blogger to post and saw that my lost post was from Halloween, and here we are making our Thanksgiving plans! Time is FLYING! Derek was out of town for 4 days last week for a big allergy conference, and I'm proud to say the girls & I had a great couple of days together including me braving a birthday party with both of them during naptime--and we lived to talk about it! :)  And Derek achieved a big accomplishment too--he was part of a two person Jeapordy team representing the allergy fellowship program at Lackland AFB, and his team won the tournament! There was a total of 28 teams from across the nation competing, but Derek claims there was actually a team from Canada and Mexico there too, so he wants to be referred to as an international champion. ;)

It's super cold here today, and I am itching to curl up on the couch with a blanket & a book while the girls are still napping. (Shelby is currently two months past her 4th birthday and still naps like a CHAMP! I'm enjoying it while it lasts!!!) Before I get on the couch, I'll leave you with a few pictures of Hadley from my phone lately, there are really no words to describe her. She is a hot mess in every sense of that phrase. ;)  And we love her to death, even when she makes me want to pull my hair out (which is a lot!).

When Hadley wakes up in the mornings, Shelby loves to crawl into her crib with her and they read books together. :) 
The picture is blurry & her hair is in her eyes, but I love Hadley's smile here!

Enjoying a late breakfast at Chick-fil-a with Mommy & Daddy on Veterans Day while Shelby was at school.
Hadley ate the entire box of hashbrowns in about 3 minutes!

This was the face Hadley made for me when I got my phone out to take a
picture this morning before taking Shelby to school ;)

Happy girl with her popcorn :)
