Smiles!

Hadley is returning our smiles now and it's so much fun! She is getting bigger by the day. We visited our friends wiht a 2 week old yesterday and it made me realize just HOW MUCH Hadley has changed. She is growing up too fast!

All is well in Cherokee County; just extremely busy with work, running and Hadley. My boss is coming into town this week and I am supposed to spend the afternoon/evening with him and a few of our underwriters...but Hadley has been on a bottle strike for 3 weeks so if she doesn't miracously snap out of it by Wednesday it appears I'll have to cut my meetings short so my daughter will eat. It's a bit stressful as from a professional standpoint it may not be well received...but Hadley comes first. I hope everyone will understand. Thankfully one of the underwriters is a woman...We interviewed a very nice girl to be a part time nanny for us but unfortunately (for us) she took another job with a family 2 miles from her house. Her hours weren't the best for me but I was thinking long term as she was going to be here this summer as well. So we'll keep looking - she was actually a referral from a friend so I haven't really started a search yet. In the meantime Hadley does great when I am on conference calls...as long as I am holding her;)

No plans for the Super Bowl; hopefully we'll stay awake for most of it. We turn into pumpkins if we're up past 10. I don't want the Patriots to get a perfect season so I guess I'll be rooting for the Giants. Plus they have a few Tech players on their team. Speaking of, kudos to the Jackets for winning 3 ACC games in a row. Very impressive turnaround...maybe we are getting hot at the right time.

Hadley is awake and it's time to go for a run. Have a great week!
