Dog Days

We've spent the final few weeks of August BAKING in the sun, and trying to spend as much time enjoying being outdoors as possible! Sadie experienced her first peach-picking endeavor at Smolak Farms in North Andover which was great because the peach trees hung low enough so that her pregnant mama didn't have to hoist her up to pick them!




We spent a rainy day testing out her ladybug rain boots (which do, in fact, succeed in keeping socks dry!) by splashing in puddles on the sidewalk. I think all of High St. probably enjoyed when Sadie, instead of stomping her feet in the puddles, sat down smack in the middle of a puddle, and laid her head back in the water. Awesome.



As one of my birthday gifts, my parents gave me a gift certificate to the local bike store, which we used promptly to buy Miss Sadie a purple helmet, as well as a bike seat for the back of our bikes. Although she hasn't had the opportunity to go biking with mom yet, she's loved riding with Dadda, lifting up the back of his shirt and yelling, "bum!" as they cruise down High St.





Sadie has started wanting to choose her own outfits.... hence this pink track suit with brown headband....



We spent a fun morning at cousin Maggie's 3rd birthday party- Under the Sea theme! Sadie enjoyed the cake I think more than anyone else there...



Post-pigtail 'do, about to watch an Elmo show. Again.


Nothing like laying on the couch watching your favorite muppet sing about a dinosaur.


Playing with cousin Cali (who actually let me do her hair in pigtails after watching Sadie get her hair done). And no, Sadie did not punch Cali in the eye.

Oh, how we miss Sadie shenanigans. She has a very Kate Jackson look to her sometimes, especially post-pigtails. Now Sean, go explain who the original Charlie's Angels were to your wife.
