The Busy World of Hadley Reagan


Here are a few recent photos of our family enjoying the beautiful weather, and entertaining our busy bee!


This is Hadley's dream come true: a puppy, a big dog, and her daddy all at once:








Daddy/Bode/Hadley snuggles:




Hadley catching bubbles at story hour...




...and playing with puppets:




Eating a mini ice cream cone backwards, because, why not?!




Bath time with Daddy:






Gymnastics with friends:





I don't know how to caption this. Props include an upturned couch cushion, a pen, a sippy cup, a dish towel, and a dog collar. 




A late-spring day at the beach:




Water table/baby pool fun with friends:




And last but not least, Hadley's Memorial Day photo which was posted by multiple local news outlets this past weekend. We love our little Patriot!


Halliver's Travels


During Mother's Day weekend, Hadley and I flew up North for my grandmother's memorial service. The plane had 50 open seats, so Hadley got her own seat. Her behavior was pretty good. This was her fourth plane trip up North alone with me, and it was one of the easier flights.




As soon as we landed in Bethlehem, we drove to Corning, NY for my grandma's memorial service. Although it was sad to say goodbye to Nana, it was a wonderful weekend because we got to see so many of our family members who live far away.

And all grown up...








Hadley and Aunt Emily:

We also spent a few days in Bethlehem visiting family. 









Hadley visited Lafayette College, and saw where Mommy lived during her college days...









And visited with her cousins...here she is getting a smooch from Grayson while Avery poses like the sweet lady she is. 



The plane ride back was PACKED, and Hadley was not happy about being confined to my lap. There was a sweet old lady sitting next to us who spent the whole flight entertaining Hadley and making the trip so much easier. Hadley gave the woman a smooch on the lips at the end of the flight.
 We got off the plane with a little bit of bright pink lipstick on Hadley's face, and yet another empty vow from mommy to NEVER to fly alone with a toddler again! Although the travel is gruesome, the joy we feel when we see our family makes it all worth it!
