a little "ha-ha"

Hadley has been sleeping in our closet the past few days because we have had house guests(my family. I just like using "house guests":)) Don't worry our closet is plenty big for Hads and his pack and play. Love that my child sleeps anywhere! Anywho, yesterday I went in to check on him and he was sleeping with a pair of my underwear! And today he was sleeping with a sports bra and tank! The little stinker- he opens my drawers and pulls items out and then falls asleep with them. Thought it was pretty funny. I wonder what he will have in the morning?! I love that silly boy!

eeekkk!

I haven't posted for a month. We have been busy! Which has been great. We went to Denver, then to Iowa, then to Chicago, and we have had SO many visitors down here. So here are some updates to catch up:

* Kirby's School of Wake is doing well. Loren has been very busy with that. Might be some new things in store...The Ekarts might head to St. Louis?! Who knows...we are praying!

*Hadley and I have enjoyed a few pool days. There is a pool right up the street from us and he loves it!



*Loren and I went on a date Saturday-a beer paring dinner. For me not really liking beer, it was really fun! It was something different to do. The food was fabulous. There were 6 courses and with each course they give you a beer that goes well with the food. Don't worry...the glasses were mini:) The only down part- we sat next to this sweet old man who talked the whole time about us joining the Elks Lodge!

*Lexi(Lor's sister) had a baby GIRL!!! We are SO excited to meet Miss Mya! We are going to Minnesota the last week of July.

I also need to acknowledge my sweet husband. Happy First Father's Day!!! You are truly the best man I could have to be the father of my children. You are so wonderful and I love watching you with Hadley. Thank you for being the best!

Hmmm...that's all I can think of. It's been a whirl wind. Hadley is so off nap schedule, it's not even funny. Oh well, I guess I don't really care. He sleeps through the night and that is the most important. I have more pictures to post but the are on Lor's computer, so I will try to get them on her soon.

Happy summer to all!

11 months

Oh my, we are almost there! You will be 1 year old so soon!! Everyday you present us with something new. It's been so fun to watch you learn more each day. You are really into brushing your hair. It all started with daddy doing it to you when he would change your diaper. Now we say brush your hair and you rub your head. Its darling! You have 4 teeth! So, now we brush your teeth. When I saw ", Let's brush your teeth" you take the finger brush and brush your hair:) So cute! You are really into saying, "Da-da". You call everything da-da and probably say it at least 100 times a day. I love hearing your little sweet voice. You like singing . You laugh and smile SO big when I sing to you. Sorry, I'm most definitely off key:) You LOVE the stairs. It's the first place you head to when you have the chance. You are also very confident you can go down them, but you don't have a clue. Going up is a piece of cake for you. We have been so blessed the past 11 months by your sweet self.
We love you to the moon and back!
Mama and as you say constantly "Da-da"
