Everyday Moments

Life...unedited. 

These random iPhone photos are dark, blurry, and untouched,

but they capture everyday moments from the last couple weeks.

On Monday, Tal had the day off from work. It was a workday for me, which means a sub taught my 6 classes so I could work in my office. Tal and I surprised Savannah by bringing her Chick-fil-a for lunch and eating with her in the cafeteria!

On Tuesday night, Savannah, Hadley, and I had a girls night, while Tal was at a work dinner The girls and I ate chicken fingers at Zaxby's because kids eat free on Tuesdays.

Savannah was excited to put money from her piggy bank in the counting machine at the bank. She got $9.66, which she used to buy some songs from iTunes for her iPad:

Hadley wanted to take selfies while we were watching TV:

Hadley, who turned 3 in October, doesn't have any daily chores. However, there are several tasks/chores that she consistently does well (without much prompting):

• Hadley takes off her shoes when she enters the house.
• She puts her shoes in her "Hadley" basket in the mud room.
• She puts her dirty clothes in the laundry basket in our family closet.
• She picks out her outfit, underwear, and socks for the next day and puts them on top of her dresser.
• After dinner, she takes her plate and fork to the kitchen sink. (She doesn't have the strength and coordination yet to scrape her plate.)
• She eats and drinks at the kitchen table. (Tal and I don't allow the girls to walk around the house with food. They keep covered water on the kitchen table in case they get thirsty.)
• She puts her trash in the trash can. 

This afternoon Hadley had her 3-year well visit at the pediatrician:


She weighed 32 lbs, which is in the 50th percentile:

Hadley was 38 inches tall, which put her in the 75th percentile:

Savannah did a great job distracting and helping Hadley, while the doctor checked Hadley's eyes, ears, mouth, heart, etc:

 As expected, Hadley got a great report from the doctor. She is healthy and developing appropriately for a 3 year-old. Hadley was excited that she didn't have to get any shots today!
