Sadie, Sadie jumping up and down
Sadie, Sadie, jumping all around. Jumping up and down from the bottom of the stairs is one of Sadie’s most favorite games. We spent eleven minutes this morning climbing up and jumping down. Great fun!

Not safe for work: so, what happens when Google’s parents go away for the weekend? That Snopes girl is such a buzzkill.
It probably won’t mean much if you’re not a web geek, but it’s pretty funny if you are.
I’ve really joined the cult of the ice melt this year. I laid out forty pounds on the driveway last night, and this morning went far more smoothly for the effort. My latest bout of shoveling was only 45 minutes, as opposed to the 90 minutes I expected.
We haven’t been able to come up with a name for the impending baby yet; I’m going to nominate Calcium Chloride Butler.
Shill Alert!
This is pretty neat: the Globe’s Wesley Morris and Ty Burr sit and talk about the movies they review in the paper. It’s Ebert and Roeper with a Boston mindset. Plus, they get to go off on the movies they don’t like, as in the case of “The Bucket List.”
Edit: killed the embed for technical reasons…
Also, in case you ever wondered what the Globe’s auditorium looked like, you can see it here. Now, imagine yourself in a two-hour business-review meeting there…
It’s been a while since I’ve put up any new Sadie pictures. Sorry about that. One of the new year’s resolutions is to take new pictures of her (and impending baby) at least once every three days. I hope this discipline will let me keep more up-to-date with her changes. In the meantime, here’s some new pictures to keep everyone happy.
Sadie is looking pretty small outside in the yard.

Sadie is getting really good at feeding herself and taking control of her milk intake. She knows that if she asks nicely, she’ll always get some more milk.

The week before Christmas, we got together and decorated a gingerbread house. Sadie liked putting on all the candy.

Sadie had a very nice Christmas. One of the highlights was her very own tricycle. She doesn’t quite reach the pedals yet, but we’re all looking forward to summer, when she can ride free.

One of her other favorite toys from Christmas is the ever-popular Play-Doh. Spending an hour with the Play-Doh is one of our new Saturday-morning traditions.

That’s all for now. More pictures in a few days!
