Sadie had to collect 10 leaves for her Kindergarten class.

I took the new camera over to Roger's house to watch on his HDTV, and recorded the kids playing a bit outside and low-light to see how it looked.

Today was Sadie's first day at Kindergarten.  Grandma, Mommy, Daddy, and David drove her to the school.  Grandma said her goodbyes in the parking lot so Mommy and Daddy could walk her into her classroom.

We met her teachers and they showed us where everything goes.  Sadie gave her teacher the note she wrote (Part 1 of 3), and her teacher sat her down and explained how most of the kids would be scared as well.

There was only a little bit of crying drama as we were leaving the room, but it stopped after a few seconds and Sadie had a great day.  Beginning of a new year for her.

COMING SOON - Getting ready for school the first day can be a job in itself.  We have to leave the house around 7:15am.  For two kids who like to stay up late, that's a little earlier than we're used to.

Sadie had all her school supplies packed in her new SWD backpack from Uncle Jose and Aunt Dawn.  So far so good.

COMING SOON - The night before Sadie's first day of school, she was feeling a bit nervous.  She told Daddy she wanted to write her teacher a note.  I helped her spell some of the words she said, and she wrote it.

"Dear Teacher, I am scared of some of the kids except Alexis.  Please help me.  Sadie."

Sadie's last ballet at Village Preschool.

Uncle Jose and Aunt Dawn took us all to a nice museum in NJ

We went to visit Uncle Brian before he got deployed to Iraq this year.  Had a fun time playing with cousin Molly and Abby, and was nice to meet big baby Jake!

And I just realized that David and Abby aren't in these pictures, they must have been off doing their own thing when I had the camera out.

Santa came early in the morning to drop off some presents and eat his Santa snacks that Sadie and David left out for him.

The kids were pretty sleepy but got very excited after seen what Santa had left them.

JCPenny Christmas Portraits - 11/28/2007

We took Sadie and David for their Christmas portraits last week.  Amazingly, pretty much every picture wasn't bad.  Some were better than others, but we didn't have any that were terrible.  Sadie and David were in good moods today, even though we had to wait almost an hour extra for our turn.

Sadie was a princess, and David was Bob the Builder.  Thanks Grandma for the cute outfits.  We got more candy then we could ever eat ourselves, so Mom and Dad said they'd help us.  They're so nice.

Sadie and Davie try their hand at a little beat boxing.  That's right, I said beat boxing.

Hit it y'all !! 

We took a late summer (and badly needed) vacation to South Beach Resort in Myrtle Beach SC.   We mostly ate Pizza from UCP and played on the beach.  Sadie and David learned what pirates are, mostly from all the miniature golf parks along the strip.

Sadie learned how to flip over the swinging bar.  Shortly after I put my camera away, David was doing it too.  I'll probably make a video of him doing it soon as well.

Sadie first tried rock climbing when she was about 2 1/2, but we never got around to going back.   Then a few weeks ago we started going to Rock Tots at "RedPoint Indoor Climbing" on Saturday mornings.

They free-climb without a harness about 15' vertical, and with the harness they go up about 30' or so.

Village Baptist Preschool Two & Three Year Old End of the Year Musical.

NOTE:  This video is VERY large and will take several minutes even on a high-speed connection.  I suggest downloading it to your computer vs streaming it online.

Is just one Sadie enough?

Not today!

After church Sadie and David wanted to play in the front yard.

Sadie went right for the tree while David made sure the grass was doing alright.

We went to Disney for a few days and Sadie and David got their first taste of the Tea Cup ride.

David liked it so much he was trying to stand up throughout the ride!

Everyone was a little dizzy when it was over, but they had a really great time.

We went to Disney for a few days and Sadie got her first taste of a rollercoaster ride at the Magic Kingdom.

When the ride was over, she said it was fun and wanted to ride it again.

Sadie obviously watches Daddy type on the computer all day, so she asked if she could press the letters too.  I fired up "Notepad", and after having her spell hers and David's name, I ask her what other words she wanted to spell.  So she'd say a word, I tell her the letters, and she'd find the letter on keyboard and type it.

The cutest part to me was the random words she wanted to spell.

I also taught her the Backspace and ENTER keys.

We spent this Christmas week at Grandma and Grandpa's house on Long Island.  Uncle Jack flew up from Atlanta, and of course Aunt Heather, Aunt Dawn and Uncle Ho Ho came as well.

We got so many toys that Grandma and Grandpa are going to come see us in January with the rest of the gifts that would not fit in our car.

Although the video is only 3 minutes, we spent about 3 hours opening gifts, then Aunt Dolores and cousins Eric, Mark, and Allison came over for Christmas lunch.  Great food and times were had by all.

There's been a bunch of folks on YouTube.com taking one picture of themselves for six years or more, then making a video out of it.

This is my version of it with Sadie and 100 pictures.

Daddy turns Sadie into a cat...

Sadie actually doesn't like this video, she says to me "I don't want to be a cat!".

And now she wants a new cat, I don't think she likes the one she has now.

Sadie and David were going to have their first sleepover at Sarah's house.

See for yourself how it turned out.

Sadie always enjoys the opportunity to cook with Mom.  Today we're making Hershey's Deep Dark Chocolate Cookies.

Yum.

And David and Dad always enjoy the samples!

Obviously not the first video Sadie has starred in, but this is the first video that Sadie has actually filmed.

Yes, she really did the camera work filming David.  Dad obviously filmed Sadie filming Sadie and did the editing..

A little shaky, but hey, she's not quite 3 yet.

We went to the beach with the Lyches this weekend and had a great time.

Sadie and Sarah learned to boogie board.

This is Sadie's second semester at Omega Gymnastics.  She goes to the "parent and me" with Dad every Saturday for three months.  

I think Dad really enjoys it too.

Grandma was in town this week, so she got to see first hand all the fun that Sadie has on the weekend.

With all the cool things to do at the gym, she still wants to play with the little balls....

This is a spin-off of the music video "Girl Next Door" by "Saving Jane".

People have asked me if Sadie is the "girl next door" or the "homecoming queen".

Well, that's up to Sadie, and whatever she wants to be is fine with us.  She'll always be our baby.  This is just a video montage some of her favorite memories.

Davie and I spent Father's Day this year in the pool at Nanna and Poppies house with Molly and Abby.

It was a perfect weekend to play!

Sadie and David had a nice time playing croquet with cousins Molly and Abby.

Ginger setup a play date with Katelyn, Sadie, Robert, Noah, and Andrew at the Fayetteville Fire Station.

Although Sadie wasn't in the best of moods today, she still managed to have a good time and Dad learned a little history of Fayetteville's Fire Department.

Now when she sees a fire truck, she's quick to point and say "FIRE TRUCK!".

Sadie wants to make a Silver White cake with green frosting.

She's always a big help in the kitchen, but I think Davie wants to help do the taste testing.

Sadie got this rock wall to add-on to the play set.  The first day it was installed, she scaled it like Spiderman.

What Dad didn't realize until just in the nick of time was that the top board of the wall wasn't nailed down (at all, see the 24th second) during this whole video.  After filming, Sadie climbed it again and when she grabbed the top board it came right off.  Luckily Dad was there and everything was OK...

But that's not on film.

And yes, this video is to the A-Team theme.

Sadie really loves riding her tricycle.  One day she just went to the garage and rode her bike all day without us knowing.

Luckily she came back.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, lived two jedi babies.   Sadie and Sarah.

May the Force be with You.

This was Kevin's first real attempt at using particle Illusions SE to create light sabers and explosions in a video.

After extensive debate, we decided to have Sadies tonsils removed.  After they were removed, Dr. Dickerson found they were even larger than he initially thought.

Sadie was about 20 months old when she first started taking gymnastics classes.  She really loves it and I would recommend it for all kids.
