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.

The Right Way to Eat

Sadie has developed her new favorite way to eat, not with a fork, not with a spoon, not even with her fingers. But with a pen.


She verrrrry delicately stabs her pancake with the tip of the pen,



Makes sure the pancake is properly attached,



Double checks it,



and voila! Pancake bite successful!

Pony Ride

On one of the few rain-free days a few weeks ago, we headed up to York, Maine to hit the zoo. Sadie's favorite part by far was the pony ride!

Old School Sesame Street


On one of our many rainy days this month Sadie & I ventured out to the library where we rented an Old School Sesame Street dvd (1965-1975). Needless to say Sean was thrilled because he recognized nearly every scene from it!

Potty Play


Up until now Sadie has refused to sit on her potty unless the lid has been down. Today however, she figured out a new way to use it.

18 months old!

I took Sadie to get her 18 month photos taken today; she was a little ham as always!

Melissa's Goodbye Party

Our playgroup had a final goodbye party for our friend Melissa & her daughter Molly the week before they left at Chris's house, here are some of the best shots!

Sadie, waiting for Molly to arrive.


Chowing down on some mac & cheese.


How adorable are Olivia's pigtails!


Molly expressing some concerns about the long, cross-country flight. Sadie listening intently.





Some of our best attempts at a group shot.

Memorial Day

In an attempt to catch up with all that has been going on here for the past month, I'll start small and just go a day at a time! We had a nice Memorial Day Picnic at Hale Park complete with both sets of grandparents, Katie & Miguel, and Melissa & Molly.


Molly tempting Sadie with a game of peek-a-boo















Sadie feels the need to inspect every child's belly button thoroughly.

Just a Note...

Just a note to all those 2 people who follow our blog... ;) Camera is broken, and I haven't figured out how to upload pictures taken with the video camera yet! So once we get that fixed, we'll be back to posting!

For now though, we bid our good friends Melissa, John, Molly, and "warrior" Doyle bon voyage as they head off to British Columbia next week. We will miss you guys! Looking forward to many skype conversations where the girls can see each other on the computer :)
