GO FOURTH AND BE MERRY.

Sometimes, you just have to drive north until you can't drive any more, for fear of hitting Canada.

So, on this past 4th of July, that's what we did. Luckily, so did a bunch of my family! Here I am with Uncle Brian. These sunglasses may or may not have survived the trip, depending on when this shot was taken.

Grandma and Grandpa enjoyed bumming around and relaxing with the Sadester. I'm pointing out where the photographer should stand to get a better angle of my thigh-chunk.

Egg (Ann), Mommy, and I like to boogie. It's hard to tell on camera, but this room is so huge! It was like we were staying at a hotel! I had plenty of room for dancing and acting crazy.
Thanks, Great Aunt Debbie and Great Uncle Larry!


"...M.C.A."


"Is the emergency brake on your side, Debbie?"

This was taken at the very last second that Dada approved of his tubing experience.
It was all downhill from there.

HIGH SPEED BABY!
Andrew and I liked to play together. He's a little younger than I am, but quite the speed-crawler. I'm sure we'll be co-conspirators and have lots of adventures as we grow up!

Mommy was afraid I wouldn't get to see a flock of seagulls by the lake. So she improvised.
Iran's so far away? I know, Mommy. It's in the Middle East.

I think Andrew just told Mommy's cousin Anne that joke I taught him. It was a good one. Three goats walk into a petting zoo... stop me if you've heard it...

BFF.

Turner kids - June 2009

While June prepares for her hula dance, Henry and I see DEE PLANE!
What can I say? Getting my pictures taken on location in Hawaii with my cousins was on my bucket list.

All other photo shoots pail in comparison.


Anybody wanna play two-hand touch? Because I will DOMINATE you with my jukes.


This was the best picture of me - I was running away! Notice the props in the background, not the lovely beach scene.

Henry couldn't bear to watch when I was scoring touchdowns all over June. He got this idea from the paper-bag-wearing Saints fans from a few years ago, back when they were the "Ain'ts." Incidentally, June AIN'T got no skills.

Me: "Gimme some of that fake sand..."
Henry: "Sadie! Back off!"
June: "Oh no, you di-int!"


Back in black.


"Is this heaven? Are we floating? What happened to the walls? The ceiling? I must have eaten some expired Gogurt, because I am TRIPPING OUT RIGHT NOW."


"Ma'am, I realize this is difficult for you, but I need you to take a look at this lineup, okay?"

"Okay."

"Which one of these three assaulted you with cute?"

"It... it was number three."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure. I remember that smile. When I saw her, the hair clip was on the other side, but... no, I'm sure of it. That's her. THAT'S THE ONE THAT ALMOST CUTED ME TO DEATH!"

"Take her away, boys."

Last Days in the Apartment - April 2009

We had good memories at Perimeter Lakes of Dublin, but, needless to say, we were quite elated when they accepted our offer on a new house.


(More elation.)


I will play you a song.


I call it Little Drummer Girl.



Catchy, n'est-ce pas?

We better clean up so we can get our deposit back!


I find that flowers always make a rooom feel like home. I'm not sure how to pack them, though...



My hands get cold sometimes. What's the big deal?



Hey... whaddya mean I'm going to have to share a room at the new house? I thought...


Oh, you're joking. I don't even have any brothers or sisters to share a bedroom with!


I can't believe I fell for that.



Dada's good to imitate. because everything he does is awesome. So you can't really go wrong.



I will miss the ducks. But something tells me I'll be exposed to all-new wildlife at the new house.


HA!




Good one, Dada.

Mother's Day 2009 (and the excessive cuteness continues...)

For Mother's Day, I decided to invite mommy's mommy over.


She brought a whole crew!
Great grandmas sure are great!



This is when I realized true contentment - the day I got my shtrawer (stroller). I insist on pushing it around everywhere, and for a while, I insisted on taking a plastic tiger along as the passenger.



You see, what you call Mother's Day is actually my half-birthday. The Duffy side of the family has declared it an official holiday. I must say, Oinky and I agree.



Stop fussing, Oinky, or you're going straight to bed.


Grandpa Duffy thinks I'm hilarious.
And he is right.
I am.
Eating at my house is way more fun with Grandma there!


Sadie v.1.5
New & Improved
(Enjoy it while it lasts, Mommy and Dada. Lots of people think v.2.0 will be full of glitches...)
