happy b-day mimi!!!!!!

HAPPY B-DAY MIMI!!!!!!!!
thank you for loving me and taking care of me and playing with me and singing with me!
i love you!
oh so much has happened.......
but today is a special mimi appreciation day! thank you mimi for everything all your help and love!
so what has been happening:
sadie can walk! yup she is walking without holding onto anything she does not walk fast or for very long but she is moving and every day she gets a little more confident and takes one more step.
we now have three teeth all on the bottom.....and she loves to give love bites or love kisses! she has learned to kiss and gives kisses whenever she has the chance and they are always very very passionate.
cleveland is still chilly but the crocus are coming out which means clevelanders are starting to emerge from our winter cocoons......so as a family we went to the zoo the other day to walk around it was 48 out which felt like a heat wave. sadie loved looking at the monkeys and the cats
speaking of cats frankie and sadie have bonded in some odd way. frankie actually approaches sadie to be petted and sadie's way of petting is grabbing her hair and massaging her back so if it works it works right?
sadie's other big passion right now is taking things out of boxes or bags.......meaning our tupperware has been discovered! sadie likes to take out all the tupperware and bang it.....why not sometimes i want to bang the tupperware also
she had a good easter and had lots of things to play with thanks to aunt cyndie. her new favorite bath toy is a light up peep!
now lets talk seriously about what really has been happening
sadie has moved out of the infant car seat and half our house fell off.......oh yeas you heard me right
the trim, edge, fascia what ever you want to call it actually fell off our house meaning our attic was exposed to the elements and ghetto squirrels! (our squirrels come with attitude)
so what does this mean..........
lots of things bec and aaron are on a mission. the mission includes new siding, new exterior doors, new gutters, new fascia or trim or whatever you want to call it and the mission is to get this done ASAP.
is it possible? yes will we be doing it ourselves? NO
so the question now is what color to get our house re-sided we are leaning towards a blue grey but are willing to take suggestions so post a comment and let us know hot pink is not an option we are thinking medium hue in neutrals
well think that is all for this week wish us luck that nothing else falls off the house

belated happy easter!!!!!

the question on the floor has been how was sadie's easter well here you go.....
(make sure the volume is up on the speakers)

(more coming soon sorry for the late post bec has been out sick with the tummy flu so check back again later this week.......lots of exciting things have occurred in just one week!)

happy 9 month! and happy b-day bumpa!!!!

9 months in and 9 months out.....
this is a good time to be.......
we celebrated bumpa's b-day by going to a model train show
and sadie laughed, kicked and tried to grab the trains as they went by
bumpa is hoping to re-create the santa fe rail line (the link is not of bumpa playing with his new train but you get the picture......)
want to keep this short and sweet
we are counting down the weeks to our friend holly's date of delivery
april 2 little "r" is due and we are so so excited!!!!!!
enjoy the pictures and movies

sadie can stand on her own for about two minutes
enjoy the days it is warming up here in cleveland and i can see little bits of green peeping through the snow
its almost here......
