Sadie's Blog: April 2008

We've had a busy month! Sadie is growing like crazy and talking non-stop! She's finally sleeping in her big girl bed regularly (she's manipulated me into laying down with her every night till she's asleep though), and she loves to "help" me with all sorts of tasks. Somehow picking up her toys isn't one of those tasks she likes to help with though! She's very affectionate and full of hugs and kisses. We're looking forward to a visit from Uncle Paul next weekend!

Enjoy the pictures below:

We went with our friends to our favorite strawberry shortcake place a few weeks ago. Here's the girls checking out he princess crowns!

How cute is Salay??

Of course Sadie refused to sit in the big strawberry chair and get her picture taken but Salay and Anna did...

and shy Lyla did but didn't want to look at us to get her picture taken...

Salay's pushing her way through...

Mom, get the camera out of my face...

One of Sadie's new favorite taxes if helping to water the plants. She waters herself and the weeds more than the plants but it keeps her busy!

We went to the park one day with Salay, Lyla, and Anna and had a great time!

I have lots of pictures of Sadie on slides because she's too busy to give me the usual grumpy look when I have the camera out!

My brave girl...

Only about 14 more years till they're driving...yikes!!!!

We also got to go to the beach one day to visit our friends from Indiana...here's Michele trying to control the wild child in water! The waves were pretty big that day and Sadie had a ball!!
