First Official Spend the Night Company- Hadley!

Quinn was thrilled to have her first spend-the-night company tonight! Hadley and Kristy met us in Crystal Springs at the McDonald's (how fancy) and we ate lunch and caught up. Then Hadley came with us for the night. They loved on Tyndale for awhile....

then they played with makeup...
on the way to Brookhaven, Hadley said that she really needed a fleur de lis shirt because she is a Saints fan, and I thought that was a great idea! We bought some shirts and here they are modeling them....looks like pretty tough competition! Watch out Colts!



Hadley jumping for joy!

Hadley modeling a "dress" that she made.

Yummy popcorn snack pre-movie. We went to see "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel," where the girls actually ate MORE popcorn...and nachos too!
Then a "Hadley-pick" dinner of chicken drumsticks by the fire that Daddy made! Yummy and warm! Oh, and they ate their tater tots with chopsticks!?!

Then a pre-bedtime movie...look closely...can you tell who it is? Yes....Mary Kate and Ashley. Hope that Kristy and Noel let Hadley come back for another spend the night, especially after the Olsen-twin movie!

the scoop



I wanted to share the results of my MRI yesterday. I have a ruptured (or herniated) disc in the lumbar area of my spine. It looks a bit like the picture above on the right (oh, except for the fact that my bones are not purple and discs are not mustard yellow!) . That yellow part would be the part that is pressing on the nerve. I can't say that I am exactly happy to hear this news, but I am happy that I don't have to have an immediate surgery. My doctor is wonderful, and we decided to take the path of physical therapy, stretches and overall core strengthening. So for the next few weeks I will be starting physical therapy and healing. I think the hardest part is not being able to pick up Tyndale - besides it being an organizational thing (planning for nap, in and out of the crib)- I just miss holding him! He gives me kisses all the time and crawls up in my lap, but it's just not the same. I feel less pain everyday, and that is sooooo good! I'll keep yall posted.
