Spring

In March we enjoyed the outdoors.

Pretty blossoms (and not so pretty graffiti).

A walk and kisses with Lou and Stanley.

Walks in our neighborhood.

Sadie decided she prefers to pushing a stroller over riding in a stroller. We don't get very far though since she has to stop to make phone calls and calm her crying baby or bunny.

Playing at the park.

Ohio

In February we took a rode trip to Ohio to surprise Melanie and celebrate her 30th birthday!

Here are the girls:

Here are the kids:

At the science museum.

This was the first smile I got from Sadie fierce that day.

At the aquarium.

This is the only smile I got from her the next day.

Traveling was a little rough on this little one. She was clingy and crabby. Granted she was a little sick and very tired. It was still worth the seeing the Bonks and having some quality girl time. The best part of medical school was the dear friends we made. The worst part was when graduation came and we all parted ways for residency.

Valentine's

Here she is... my little Valentine!

Sadie had a fun time at her Valentine's party at the Pearson's. When you set 2 year olds loose with sugar, this is what you get:

Sadie loved making and passing out her Valentines, but I think she enjoyed receiving a little more!

This is Sadie:

My little helper. I think she is ready for her big sister role.

Pajama girl. She loves to wear her jammies all day (who wouldn't). And when she isn't in pajamas, she'd prefer to be naked.

Expressive. Sadie's emotions definitely show on her face.

Family night favorite. This little girl loves family night. When I ask her what we should do tonight, she exclaims, "Family night!" Mike and I enjoy hearing her sing songs. The best is when she takes charge, runs upstairs to gather supplies (scripture stories, instruments, puppets, etc.) and comes back down to direct the FHE events.

P is for Play, and....

Once a week Sadie gets together with 3 of her friends to learn about a letter and to play. Letter P was one of my favorites so far...

Painting with pudding

It didn't take long for these girls to figure out that it was edible!

Popcorn

Snow

Early in December Mike and Sadie came to support me (and our baby) in the Mistletoe half marathon. Sadie doesn't look too excited in this picture, but she cheered up for the party at the YMCA afterward, and even more for the snow we got later that day!

There's a happy girl.

Christmas

We enjoyed our first Christmas at home!

Christmas breakfast

Christmas guitar
