This week has been rough! Everyone in our house has been sick...Sadie is feeling great which is good, but Brent and I are feeling awful! Hopefully we feel better by the weekend:) We got Georgia season tickets this year for the first time since we both graduated! We are super excited to get to head up to Athens for all the home games:) Sadie will begin preschool next week, I am very excited about this! Lately she is attached to my hip...we literally spend so much time together, I really am looking forward to having a small break and hoping she adjusts well:) We also have decided that we are not going to sell our house. This is something we have been back and forth on and after MUCH consideration we have decided to stay here for a while. And by while, i mean while:) Although there are lots of things that we wish we had (a fenced yard, extra space, etc.) we realize that the grass really is always greener. Even though we don't have a fenced yard, we live on a very quiet street where Sadie can play and ride her bike. Even though we don't have extra bedrooms, the rooms that we do have are quite large. Maybe our kids will have to share a room, and that's okay. Soooo at the end of this month when our listing expires, our house will officially be off the market:) Cheers!!

She is 2!?

Well, today is my precious baby girls second birthday. So hard to believe that 2 years has gone by so fast. I can't imagine what my life would be like without her beautiful chaos that she brings to our family:) We are celebrating tomorrow with a close family dinner that we will be having at our clubhouse. Nothing fancy, no friends invited, just keeping it close family. Much less stress on us and on her:) Last night Sadie got to have a sleepover with me in my bed because Brent was gone and because it's her birthday of course:) It was so much fun cuddling with her (minus the kicking in the face at 4am). I took her to imaginations a play this morning and she had a blast of course. If you havn't been there yet it is a must for pre-school aged children. She got to paint a very lovely picture, play grocery store, play in a rub a dub dub bubble bath, and pretend to make me some delicious hot dogs. When we got home she got a couple of presents from mommy and daddy (a baby doll with bottles and a kitchen mixer for her kitchen). She is a true girly girl so she loves playing mommy and pretending to cook too:) We got her a tricycle but it still has not come in the mail yet and i wanted something small to give her on her special day:) We finished up the day with a birthday dinner out at Cheeky(which she didn't eat) with Uncle Micky. They brought out a piece of cake(which she DID eat) with 2 candles and sang happy birthday to her and she loved it. She couldn't believe that these people knew it was her birthday too! Now that the day is winding down, I still can't believe my baby girl is no longer a baby:( I remember her little infant cry like it was yesterday and knowing that she is growing up is so hard to take in. The past 2 years have been SO hard and SO amazing at the same time. Love you baby!! Happy 2nd Birthday!!

We're Back!

I'm not even going to attempt to update on everything that has changed since my last post over a year ago. I promise I will try to do better at updating my blog:) Sadie is almost 2!! I really can't even believe it, it just seems so unreal. I remember the day she was born as if it were yesterday. Summer is almost over and i'm actually really excited about it! Summers are always hard with camp schedules/heat exhaustion, etc. Needless to say, I am very ready for Fall and school to start back up:) I also have been doing a little photography on the side with my dear sister. Although i still have SO MUCH to learn still, i really feel like i have come such a long way from this time last year with my point and shoot camera. I try and get Sadie out at least once a week to practice on just getting better. You have to start somewhere right?? Oh yea, Sadie is sleeping in a big girl bed!! After endless sleepless nights in her crib and constant battles i was wondering if maybe it was time for a change. She would nap in our bed during the day and always slept really well so we decided to try it. She sleeps in our guest room right now bc her twin bed is being antiqued along with an armoire that was Brents when he grew up. Hopefully she doesn't get too used to that big queen size bed:) Her vocabulary is really taking off too. She talks up a storm and for the most part I can understand her (i said for the most part:)). She is such a good listener and really obeys well....i know i am bragging on her but she's my baby! We had a great family beach trip back on Memorial Day and Sadie loved the ocean. I havn't taken her to the pool as much as i would have liked but i guess there is still time left. So here are some recent pictures i have taken of my sweet princess!
