Thanksgiving!

November 27th, 2008

What a wonderful day.

We headed to Lincoln around 10am and Hadley was excited to see the kids. We were almost to Barb and Nolan’s when Hadley announced she was going to be shy. We’ll see how long that lasts.

Zoey Belle was immediately swooped up by the family and I knew odds were good I wouldn’t see her again until it was time to leave. She is a little congested, but I think she’ll be fine considering the amount of attention she’ll be getting.

Hadley, while refusing to talk to the kids, immediately went downstairs to play with Katherine. They seemed to be having a good time and Katherine was being really helpful and doing a great job of deciphering Hadley’s words.

To be honest, we ate lunch and then played football in the afternoon while the girls had Erin’s baby shower. All I know is that both girls were still in one piece and smiling when I returned, so they must’ve had a good time.

Hadley really enjoyed playing in the backyard with the kids. She and Katherine turned over a rock to reveal centipedes and slugs, both of which Hadley wanted to play with. Madeline tried to teach Hadley how to do cartwheels, but I don’t think we are quite there yet.

Before it was time to leave, Tristin held Zoey Belle for about 40 minutes and she seemed pretty content. Hadley and the Schmit kids gave hugs for about the same duration of time. The girls had a wonderful day, thanks to the energy of their cousins.

After we were done at Barb and Nolan’s, we heading to Grandma and Papa’s house to spend the night. Zoey has been sleeping poorly lately, so it could be interesting.
