Sadie's First Professional Photo Shoot!

Didn't happen. In fact, it was a colossal disaster. We had an appointment at the Picture People on Saturday morning. Before checking in, we took Sadie to Peek-a-Do to have her hair trimmed and styled. Mom, Dad, Sadie and I all pulled into the parking lot at Southpoint and proceeded to drag Sadie's entire wardrobe inside, as I was completely indecisive about what to have her wear. Redmond was away for the weekend, and Sadie had not slept well the night before. We waited for some time to be ushered into a small room for the photo session. Our photographer was a young women who appeared to be inexperienced with children; when Sadie refused to sit still, she seemed like a deer in the headlights. Sadie would not sit still by herself; nor would she sit on any of our laps. A meltdown ensued, and we ended up escorting Sadie out of the studio, whereby she threw herself to the floor in the mall and pitched a fit. Sigh. She doesn't do the meltdown thing very often, but when she does.. watch out...

After Sadie's nap, we tried to take some pictures at Mom's house. The lighting was odd and I don't have very steady hands, so here's what we were able to salvage. Some pictures are rather blurry.

We're excited about our upcoming trip to Charleston, SC. This is my second time attending the Charleston Conference for Collection Development, and like last year, I'm taking the family...














This series of pictures... well, I'm not really sure what to say about them. I can't decide if they are very, very cute, or somewhat creepy. Sadie likes to lie on the floor and pretend to be asleep. I'm picking up a horror flick doll vibe here..






After we returned home, Sadie couldn't wait to rip her dress off and check out The Wonder Pets.


And here's a very short clip of Sadie riding the rocking horse while wearing her fluffy dress....
