Sadie is 19 months old

Sunday, June 24th, 2007

It’s been a while since I’ve written. We’ve rebooted our lives in several different ways, but Sadie’s been quite the trooper.

She’s getting much bigger, starting to move out of the high chair in onto one of the regular table chairs. She still needs a little boost though.

She’s getting more mobile around the house. She’s taken to riding around on her cow, a favorite present from Grammie and Grampie.

She continues her odd fascination with books. We now have a little system, in which she climbs on the couch and I feed her books from the right. She reads them then stacks them nicely on the left. When she’s through the pile, she demands more. We may have a second-generation Operations Management major in the making.

We got to go to a corporate event at Fenway Park a couple of weeks ago. She seems to have inherited none of my crippling fear of heights.

She also enjoys sitting in the seats, proving once again that the seats at Fenway were designed for toddlers, not adults.

Sadie’s spending more time out with us in the yard. Today, she was very helpful, not only raking…

… but also mowing the lawn for me. I knew I had kids for a reason.

She’s growing a lot, and developing quite the little personality. I can’t wait to see how the rest of the summer goes…

We all got to go to an event at Fenway yesterday, and Sadie got herself a fabulous foam finger. It’s her new favorite car toy. (Also pictured: previous car favorites Baa Baa and Senor Froggie).

Thailand Buddha Photos

Friday, June 8th, 2007

I’m trying to do more interesting things with all the photos I’ve taken over the past few years. Here’s a new little micro-site I did around my pictures of Buddhas I took in Thailand in 2003. Let me know what you think!

Practical Toy Storage
We’ve been good about not letting the toys take over the house, avoiding the impression that a Toys ‘r Us has exploded in our family room. Still, there’s always more to learn. This article has several good tips about storing toys and integrating them into the family lifestyle.

Yooooouuuuukkkkk
Kevin Youkilis is now also blogging. Anyone who can put together a 20-game hitting streak can do whatever he wants.

Ashland bomb threat
Though near Sadie’s daycare, this didn’t affect her. If you look at the fax that came through, I can kinda see why they interpreted it that way, though.
