Slacker

I know, I know, I've been slacking off updating The Cutting Edge lately, so here are some recent photos of what we've been up to.

We thoroughly enjoyed the week of Yankee Homecoming here in Newburyport. We kicked it off by heading down to Old Fashioned Sunday where Sean accompanied Sadie on a pony ride.

Then Mama and Auntie Meg took Maggie and Sadie on a train ride around the mall, where Sadie proceeded to wave and say, "hi" to everyone we passed by. She then proceeded to throw what may have been one of her biggest temper tantrums yet when she couldn't go back on the train for a second ride since the line was too long and the price was a rip off. That was the end of Old Fashioned Sunday for us.

Just a cute pic, right after she got her hair did.

We spent a morning babysitting/playing with Sadie's friend Will. They spent much of the morning chasing after each other and hugging. It was pretty cute if I do say so myself.

We tried to hit the sidewalk sales one day during Yankee Homecoming, but it was too stinken' hot out, so prego Mama cut the trip short and we headed home to the pool.

Race night of Yankee Homecoming. We watched the 10-miler go right by our house. And don't worry, Sadie was drinking her milk, not Dadda's, "bee-ah."

Family day at Maudsley. We went with Kyle, Heather, and Cali. Sadie and Cali pretty much just dragged each other around the whole time.

My parents, "Mimi" and "Papa" got a new puppy last weekend. She is a very cute little pointer/retriever mix who has been named Stella. Although I was against the puppy transaction wholeheartedly, I am finding a spot in my heart for Stella, who has been a very cute little addition to the Trieff family. And Sadie seems to enjoy playing with her out in the back yard, too!

At a birthday party on Saturday night, Sadie just needed a shoulder to lean on. Thanks, Cali.

Yankee Homecoming Parade Day, party at our house. Molly, Matthew, Sadie, and Sophie had a front row seat.

Grampy with two of his girls, Sadie and Kelte.

The whole clan watching the parade.

The kiddos loved watching the bagpipers go by.

Sadie enjoying some dirt cake and gummy worms, pre-bath of course.

Tonight, Sadie insisted on fastening her bathing suit around her neck, over her pajamas. She then surprised us by climbing up into this little hutch cabinet, and closing herself in.
