Fun Weekend

So went to valleyfair today. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day! It was sunny, 80 degrees and not that many people there. Couldn't be better.

We met our friend Brad there in the morning and went straight in for some serious riding. Conor and Brad wanted to go straight for the Wild Thing but stopped off first at the Xtreme Swing first. Conor wasn't sure what to think of it. A little scarier then he thought would be. But he used to be afraid of the Wild Thing and now he loves that. So you just never know.

Conor, Brad and I were going to go on the Corkscrew and waited for 15 minutes and just before we were going to get on Conor made a desperate plea to go to the bathroom. And could not hold it. Typical kid. So Brad had to go solo. Next time we'll have to drink a little less lemonade.

Sadie 4 & 5 months pict

Look at this beautifully healthy baby girl. She weighted in at 16 lbs at her 4 month docter's appointment. That's in the 90th percentile for her age. So she's not lacking in the nutrients.

July 2, '09

We started feeding solids at about 4 1/2 months. She wasn't overly excited about it at first. Gave me the "what the hell are you trying to feed me" face. Far more got spit out then was swallowed. But it's all about the learning not the actual eating at this point. So far she's had rice cereal, applesauce and banana. So far the applesauce is the big winner.

Ciara loves to feed her and is constantly asking "when is Sadie going to have breakfast"or "Sadie hasn't had breakfast yet". Anything she can do to help with the feeding process. She also wants me to stop nursing Sadie so she can feed her from a bottle. Always the big helper.

Here's our princess at 5 months. She's starting to roll around abit. She can also sit up if you prop her up in her fat rolls just right :)

Aug 2nd - Look how healthy she is!

Good Bye Good Friend

Well after many wet eyes and sobbing we said good bye to a dear beloved friend. She has served us well and we've had many good times. But it is time to say farewell she will be sorely missed.

Ronan is very upset with the '50 leaving. He's not understanding that it will not be coming back. He just misses Daddy's hot rod.


Our plan is to buy a '50 convertable. Ryan saw it at Back to the '50's and just kinda forgot about it until last weekend when Eric talked about buying our car. Then Ryan went full steam and put it on Craig's list. That's all she wrote.
