Hangin' around
Just wanted to post some pics of Sadie from this past week. They are just really cute. Saturday Sadie and I went to a quilt show in Jacksonville with my mom. It was neat to see all the beautiful quilts. Some were so intricate. Today we just hung out, bought some groceries. It was kind of nice outside this evening, so we went for a walk. Nothing too exciting but relaxing. Sadie had a little ear infection last week so she had been on antibiotics. Since she has taken them, her nose has stopped running! This kid has had a runny nose for about 7 months now and nothing we did made it go away until now! I hope it stays this way for a while. I'm sure it's nice for her to have this reprieve. When we were at the Dr.'s, she prescribed Sadie some Allegra so if her nose gets bad again, we'll try that. It makes me wonder if she has as bas of allergies as we thought or just a sinus infection. Anyhow. Back to school and work tomorrow. We are starting to get things together for our Halloween party at work. Legacy always puts on a big party for the residents. Last year we did a haunted house. It turned out really great and everyone enjoyed it, so we're doing it again this year. I'll be sure to take pics and video this year! Enjoy the pictures.

Chicago
So, I should've posted these earlier this week when we got back, but it has been non stop stuff every evening and work during the day! We had a fantastic trip...
Thursday- Flew out of Jacksonville airport, great flight. Sadie fussed just a little bit on the way up (her ears I'm sure) and during landing. Other than that she was great. Got into O'Hare airport and picked up our rental car (very nice Nissan Maxima!) and went to Adam's Grandparents' house. Got unloaded and Sadie napped and we just hung out. Went to bed early that night!
Friday- Adam's GP's took us to the Kohl Children's museum in Glenview Illinois. It's like a 10-15 minute drive from where they live. It was SO much fun. Some of the stuff Sadie was still a bit too little for, but she (and we) had a blast anyways. There is like several different sections set up there. A mini dominick's (like Publix) where they can pretend to shop or be a cashier or bagger. Sadie liked putting the stuff in the cart. They had a mini"daycare" where kids can "take care" of babies (dolls). Sadie wasn't sure about the dolls she kept poking it in the eye! There's a "body" section and a pet vet section, a music section, where Sadie got to play different types of music makers. We had such a great time. I want to take her back there next year when she's running around. After that we went into the Glenview town center (it's like a way better version of Tioga) and had lunch. Later Adam, Sadie and I went to the Golf Mill mall and walked around. After Sadie went to bed Adam and I saw a movie in Glenview (Adam's GP's stayed with Sadie).
Saturday-We finally went downtown and to the Shedd Aquarium. Sadie has been to the Tampa Aquarium and Sea World and LOVES fish. It was a great Aquarium. We walked around and showed Sadie everything. We all dressed up like penguins in the "polar north" section and Sadie got to slide down the "habitat" area slide. We noticed it was SUPER crazy downtown (more than usual) and found out as we were walking around that U2 was playing at Soldier field right next door! We stood and listed for a bit. After that we walked around downtown, went into some of the shops. We sort of found this great little park in the center of all this craziness. We took Sadie in and she got to swing and slide. It was really cool. By the time we got back to Adam's GP's we were exhausted. We put Sadie down and weren't far behind!
Sunday-We decided to go to Navy pier and walk around down there. It was alright. The weather was awesome while we were there so it worked out. We didn't do any of the rides or anything but it was nice to walk around. We decided to try and find a good pizza place so we ended up walking about 10 or so blocks back into downtown and ate some delicious pizza at Pizza Duo. Super yummy deep dish pizza! Luckily we walked it off going back to Navy Pier (since that's where the car was!). Later we went home and had a nice family dinner.
Monday we flew home. Also a great flight!
I am so happy we got to go to Chicago, it was great to see Adam's GP's again and I am thrilled they got to meet Sadie. We will definitely be going back again soon!
Today Adam and I both worked. Mama and Papa came up here and sat with Sadie for us. Tomorrow My dad and Carrie are coming over to visit and then in the evening we are going out to dinner with Adam's family for his brother Ross's birthday (21st!). Adam's Bday is on Wednesday (so is his bro Henry's!-13 years to the day!). Also, Sadie starts her new Daycare on Monday...which we are ecstatic about. I hope everything works out since the other place ended up being not so great. If you haven't heard the story and want to know just call me. It's a long story and I think everyone that reads this has already heard it!
So, we're starting another busy week. All I can say is I love my life and thank God for my hubby and daughter and my family and friends.
Today's Kabbalah:
Unlike most foods, the longer you boil an egg, the harder it gets. Perfect analogy for us. The longer we hold on to what we think is "the right way" the harder our hearts become and the more we close ourselves off to opportunity.
Today, let go of your cherished opinions. Make room for a different perspective. When you do that, you get more than you ever thought was possible.
Don't be an egghead!!

Been too long.
Wow! It's September already! Quite some time has passed since I last posted, although, not too much has changed. Adam and I went to see O.A.R. It was a great concert. A lot of energy. We had fun at the beach too! Sadie spent the night at Gigi's house she had fun over there. A few days before we went to St. Augustine, Mama and Papa came to Gville and took care of Sadie for a day for us. I think everyone had a great time.
Well, we are starting to get ready for our trip to Chicago next week. I am excited and anxious to go. We reserved a car and we're staying with Adam's grandparents. We have some things that we are planning on doing while we're there. Hopefully, Sadie will enjoy the trip! We'll have lots of pics to post when we come back.
Sadie has one f her top front teeth almost totally in and the other not too far behind. She has been eating like a big girl. Hot dogs, chicken nuggets (without the skin), fruit, veggies, oatmeal...she's just growing up so quickly.
Sunday (we cam back from the beach Saturday afternoon), we went over to my Dad's house and hung out with he, Carrie, my sis Mellina and Jerilyn. We all went swimming and had dinner. It was really great to see them. Sadie had fun playing with Jerilyn. Sasa kept trying to steal Jerilyn's sippy cup!
Anyhow, I hope everyone enjoys the pics and I'll try to post some from tomorrow (I'm off!). Loves.
Today's Kabbalah:
Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Anyone judging is only seeing you from their reality. Your job is to learn from yours.When you start to realize, it's ok to screw up, you begin to loosen up and relax and things begin to flow from there.
Today, get messy, get in there and get out of this mindset that you have to perform for everyone.
