Photo Shoot with J & J!

I got a chance to go take pictures of my friend's little ones on Monday. It was so much fun! These 2 are so precious! It was hard to get good ones of them together because of their ages. The 2 year old just wanted to run and play - until we got to the trains. I think he could have stood there all day just watching. And how precious the little 6 month old was - LOVE this stage - just sitting up and oh, so fun! Here are a few of my faves from the day.

Mersadie's New Kitchen

Sadie's new kitchen - she pulled everything out, as you can see!

Dialing up Grammy and Papa!

Saying "thank you" to Grammy and Papa for her new toy!


Sadie took the drawer out of the kitchen, filled it with stuff and dumped it on the floor on purpose...

...then picked it all up and did it all over again! We are having tons of fun around here!

These are some "thank you" pictures for my parents (Grammy and Papa). They bought this kitchen for Sadie for Christmas and it finally came in and I put it together Friday while Sadie was napping. She LOVED the thing. Played with it practically all night. So, a BIG THANK YOU to the grandpeople! We love you! Can't wait to see you in a week and a half!

Warm Weather Clothes!

Here's what Mersadie is wearing today - I cannot believe I am dressing my child like this on January 15th - but I love it. She's looking so much older to me now! Where did my baby go?

Fall Leaf Pictures

These are the pictures I took of Sadie while we were in Kansas City for Thanksgiving. We had beautiful weather on Thanksgiving Day, so I took Mersadie outside to play in the leaves and do a mini-shoot. She had a ton of fun and I ended up with some pretty good pictures. Even though the leaves are now gone and we are in the dead of winter (hee hee it's 87 here today) I thought I would go ahead and post these pics.

Twist and Shout & Pigtail Princess

Sadie has learned how to twist caps now...and the first thing she got into was my mascara, of course. I HAD to take pictures. Hey, at least she knew where to put it.

Here's Sadie's "Cheese" smile.

Look at those lashes! BEAUTIFUL!

Mersadie FINALLY has at least a little bit of hair, so I decided to try for some pigtails. Even though they look ridiculous, I thought they were cute. This picture is way off focus-wise, but I love the expression.

Here's Mersadie today with more pigtails. She actually doesn't pull them out!

I could just eat her up, couldn't you?

Wild Hair!

As I said, I have a bunch of pictures. Here is another set. We were in Ohio over Christmas, so that is where most of the pictures will come from for a while. Although, I have been working on editing some that I took of Sadie while we were in K.C. for Thanksgiving and I cannot wait to post those.

In the meantime, here is Mersadie in a funny wig that we found at Grandma and Grandpa Moore's...

And one of Sadie with Grandma and Grandpa on Christmas Eve!

Christmas Pictures...Enjoying Mini M&M's

I know it's been like forever since I posted and believe me, do I have the pictures to show that we have been busy. Here are just a few pictures of Sadie from Christmas with Brian and I at home before we left for Ohio. My favorite part of the night was Sadie with her mini m&m's that Grammy and Papa sent. She LOVES these things (who doesn't), but of course, I just wanted her to have a few. So, Brian and I kept asking her if we could have some and Sadie would so graciously hold out the bag to us and we would take big handfuls and put them into another container behind us. I don't think she ever caught on, but don't worry, Sadie enjoyed PLENTY of them. I'll hopefully be posting every day for a while. Or at least every other day. Hope everybody had a wonderful Christmas and you're off to a great start to 2009!
