Today is the most gorgeous day- around 74 degrees..with a perfect warm breeze. Ahhhhhh :) As Hannah would say: "This is the life!" I'm having fun this week going through the house and collecting stuff for this weekend's community yard sale. So far, I've managed to part with a ton of DVDs (they've just been collecting dust in our basement), books (many of them are "how-to" books...what's with that?), some wall art that I've had since college, and some gently used clothing & toys. I'm not getting rid of any of the girls' baby clothes or favorite toys. I'm way too emotionally attached to that stuff...and not 100% sure we're done having children, anyway. Plus, it would be nice to keep that stuff around for Erin's future babies....I mean, if she has a girl, the kid would be set for life with clothing and blankets!
Sadie has become so independent over the past month or so. I'm having such a good time watching her explore and play. She desperately wants to play with Hannah, but right now she's just a nuisance to her big sister. That doesn't stop her from following Hannah all over the house and trying to grab whatever she's playing with. Sometimes Hannah will try to read a book to Sadie or get down on the floor to play with her. But if Hannah's really into an activity, God help whoever tries to interrupt...especially little Sadie. Sadie's getting so big though, and standing on her own..waving bye bye..and saying Dada. Still no Mama, though she will mouth it silently. She likes to be chased and tickled...she thinks it's hilarious. We also discovered that she's allergic to eggs. She had a skin reaction to some eggs at Cracker Barrel the other week, and it happened again yesterday when I gave her a tomato from my sandwich to eat....it had mayonnaise on it. I'm told she'll probably grow out of it....and I guess we are supposed to wait until she's a year to give her eggs, anyway. I felt bad ...but I guess I'm a little more liberal with her. With Hannah, I wouldn't let her have any real food or juice until after she was a year old...and even then, I was very careful with what I gave her.

We miss our girlies. Sadie's growing way too fast! Love you!
Maybe she just doesn't like eggs, like her Aunt Erin! lol Watch Hannah crave egg sandwiches the first day of school... we're gonna have to chat about that :)
