The Royal Wedding!

Hadley, you and Mommy woke up very early and watched the Royal Wedding - Prince William married Kate Middleton.  Friday, April 29th at 11:00 a.m.  The wedding was 6 hours behind here in Texas and we saw it LIVE!   It was such a joyous event.  Every girl dreams of being a princess and having a fairy tell wedding!  I can't wait to marry your daddy - my very own PRINCE WILLIAM! 

It was so cute.  Daddy walked in just as Mommy was crying while they were saying their vows and he named the doggies all British Royalty names!   Lord Tuff Tuff, Duchess of Lolz, and Jester Zeus.  He makes me laugh all the time!! 

Halfway there!

Hadley Faith, we were 20 weeks on Tuesday of this week which marks our halfway point!   I cannot thank you enough because this pregnancy has really been so wonderful.   Now, if only this Texas weather could behave long enough for Mommy's allergies to go away.   We are so blessed by you and we cannot wait to meet you and hold you and love you!


I know I sound like a broken record.  I hope you are enjoying the foods and drinks that I feed you.   I love you so much honeybee!


Aunt Cathy, Nana, Caroline, and Callie will be here this evening so there will be tons going on!

"We are waiting for you Hadley"

I could not resist taking this photo of Lola and Zeus on the bed this morning.   Mommy and Daddy were both snapping pics with our camera phones.  They are the best cuddlers and they cannot wait to cuddle with you!   They will be very protective of you sweet girl.  Zeus is going to sleep under your crib, he's already told us  :)

Happy Easter Hadley Faith!

-This time next year we will be dressing you in all kinds of fluffy bunny, chick, Eastery stuff.  We can't wait! 

-Daddy loves to hear Mommy talk about how I can feel you move (I think he gets a bit jealous that he can't).

-Mommy's best girlfriends are in town this weekend for a very special party.  I am super excited and I am sure I will be laughing a lot because they are funny girls! 

Here are some recent pictures of Mommy and Daddy there were taken at the Dallas Arboretum last weekend!   Can you tell that we have the GLOW?  Everyone else can!  You bring out the best in us.  WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH SWEETHEART! 

YOU MOVED

Well Miss Hadley - I am sure it isn't the first time you've moved, but it is the first time that I felt you move!  Mommy has been waiting on pins and needles for those first little kicks and flutters.   I was on the computer looking at some pictures that Mommy and Daddy had done, and I felt a little flutter a few times!

Today is going to be a happy day.  We love you!!!  19  weeks today sweet girl. 

See you soon!!!  

-Love Mommy and Daddy

and Tuff, and Lola, and Zeus too! 

Touching....

Mommy received a very sweet and touching e-mail from a very close personal friend yesterday...someone that has been in Mommy's life for about 10 years now.    It was very sweet and it made Mommy feel good!

I just wanted to tell you how beautiful pregnant I think you are. There is a peace and glow in and around you, what a beautiful bride you will make.

God has truly blessed you and what a wonderful mother you are going to make. I am going to enjoy watching you grow with our little girl. 

Thank you Janet!
