whats up with us

We have had a very interesting past few weeks. We went to Boise to visit Mike's friend who was visiting from Afganistan and had a lot of fun seeing friends and family.
While there Sadie picked up the cold and flu virus and has been sick all week along with mom. We were very worried about her because she wouldn't eat anything and is already so skinny. She just had a doctors visit and only weights 22 lbs at 19 months and is 34 inches tall. He said she is in the 25th percentile for weight and 100th percentile for height. Anyway, we are all on the mend and Sadie is finally eating again. Mike was able to say home with her because he just got laid off from his job. So if anyone knows of any job openings feel free to let us know! Anyway, I am still working at the partial care although I am getting a little burnt out. I am grateful that I have a job even though I would like to be home with Sadie. Sadie is growing so much and mimics everything we say. Today she was starting to sing some of the words to Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. She loves to dance and is fasinated with bubbles. We would like to provide her with a little brother or sister soon but as of now that has not yet happened. We will see...

Sadie loves sugar so she had a blast digging into her very own cake. She only sampled the half closest to her.
