Summer time
Things have finally settled down a little. I have completed my first graduate class in the Library Science program. I will never look at a children's book the same again. I really did learn a lot. We have been extremely busy. JAred and I are playing in a mixed doubles tennis league once a week. Lord knows we need the exercise! We are now 1-1. We are on our last week of east coast swing/ Jitterbug lessons. We are going to take a break and cash in on our private lessons until tennis is over. Hadley and I are enjoying our time together this summer as we shop and visit with the grandparents, friends, and family. I am in awe of her. She is so amazing. I can't believe how fast she is growing. I know that I will miss her as a baby. I love holding her close to me. She is almost rolling over on her own. She is cooing like crazy; it is so cute. Hopefully I will be a little better at posting more often. I spend all my time reading other people's blogs instead of updating my own.

Hadley's first tea and baby dedication
On May 2, 2009, Hadley attended her first tea! Every year, Mrs. Sandra's church hosts a Mother's Day tea. It is lots of fun! This year was really special because now I am a mommy and Hadley was able to come too!
Later that evening, we had Hadley dedicated at Healing Place Church. Grandma and Grandpa, Granna and Pop, Aunt Summer, Uncle Chris and Aunt Alyssa were all there to support us. It was a really special time and it meant so much to us to be able to share it with our family. Hadley wore my christening gown that was given to me by my godmother.

Good news!
I am so excited. This week I found out that I have been approved for an educational sabbatical for next school year. What does that mean? Well I will be attending grad school at LSU at night and on the weekends and more importantly, I will get to stay home with my baby girl for a whole year. We are so excited and are so blessed to have this opportunity. This news has definitely made my return to school for these last three weeks worth it! Thanks to all who prayed for this to work out!

Trip to Houmas House
The pics of Hadley and I are from our trip to Houmas House with Raynell and Rex. The grounds are absolutely beautiful here. We will definitely be going back for other photo shoots here when she gets older.
Update on life:
I have recently been accepted into graduate school at LSU. I am trying to obtain a library certification. It takes about 18 hours to do that. ( some of you are probably laughing at the thought of my big mouth being a librarian... I must admit I find it kind of ironic myself! but anything is better than grading 90 senior essays!!) I have applied for an educational sabbatical for next school year and I am really hoping to get approved for it. Please pray that it happens. It goes up for approval on MAy 5th. If I get approved, I will get to stay home with Hadley next year. I go back to school May 1st for the last three weeks of school! I am not looking forward to leaving my baby girl, but I am trying to look at it from a positive standpoint... 3 weeks now in hopes that I will have a year with her later! God has gotten me this far! Thanks to Granna, Grandma, Nannee Red, and Raynell for watching her while I go back to work! We really appreciate your help!
Hadley is doing well. She is growing so fast! She is smiling and cooing a lot now. She is two and a half months old already! She is sleeping for about 4 hours at a time during the night, which is great!
Jared and I are so blessed to have such an amazing little girl and a loving family who is very supportive and always willing to lend a helping hand.
