Dad and Sadie

We had brunch with friends today and Sadie enjoyed eating some of Kate's pancakes. Kate is scheduled to be induced on Tuesday unless it happens sooner.

Feet up on the slide!

Mounting and Riding the Horsey!

Swing and Tickle

Playing in the Park

Sadie has become a climber in the park. She loves to swing on the monkey bars and make her dad's heart race and smile beam at the same time.

Cornfed!

Sadie's new favorite food is corn on the cob. Not sure about dipping the ends in catsup, but she is cornfed like her Dad!

Sadie at Dad's B-day

Sadie helped her Mom throw her Dad's 40th B-day party on Saturday. We had glorious weather and great company. Kids were invited so Sadie played with 15 other little ones in the studio (with the help of two sitters!)

Sadie B-day

Lilly, Eloise, Nora and Claire spent the morning playing with Sadie to celebrate her birthday. They played on the swing, colored and worked with Play Dough.

Maya and Zoe visit

Sadie and her cousins had a big weekend. They played in the park and in Kate's studio. It was warm enough for the hose to clean off the sandy feet!

Sadie on the dirtpile

Sadie at Camp

Sadie really thrived at camp this year. Her language exploded with new words, phrases and songs. She loved having her own dog for the week and enjoyed the dirtpile (much to her mom's delight)

Playing with the cousins at Camp

Sadie and her cousins played in the pool and the dirt pile almost every day. Everyone had fun spashing about and running around on the farm.

Family Pics from Camp

Sadie loved all the family time at Camp. With an 8 day visit she was able to spend quality time with all her cousins, aunts/uncles and grandparents (in addition to Mr Wiggles the dog!)

Swimming at the Ewells

Ewell Pool

Sadie is a fish. She is loving the water and playing with her cousins. She jumps off the side or when she is tossed in the air she says, "more please".

Playing with Louisa

Louisa and Jack's visit

Sadie played at the Farmers Market with Louisa and Jack (our friends from Durham NC). Music and song time at the Farm Zoo were the highlights of the day.

Picnic in the garden with Mom

Sadie spent a beautiful Chicago afternoon having a picnic with her mom in our garden. Fun times and good food!

Ama outfit

Sadie looked pretty in her new outfit from Ama (her new name for Grandma Carolyn)!

Farmers Market

We spent a beautiful Saturday morning at our favorite farmers market. Tons of kids and live music. Sadie is lucky to have a tall uncle so she can see over everyone!

Sadie Playing in the new house

Sadie is thriving with all the new space in our home. She plays in the garden and has helped decorate her future siblings room.

Ceci and Sadie

Sadie and her new friend Ceci played at the farmers market on Wednesday. The weather is warm in Chicago and Sadie has lived in the park!

Playing with Maya and Zoe

Studio sans walls in the turret

Michael and I took down the walls the previous owner used as white backgrounds for her photography. The three windows in the turret really open up the space and Kate is super excited about her studio/playspace for the kids.
