Nearly 70 pounds

Sadie on the pumpkin scale
Approximately 40 pounds of pumpkin plus 27 pounds of Sadie equals nearly 70 pounds on the pumpkin scale!

Sadie loved visiting Riverview Farm today to eat a doughnut, drink cider, choose some pumpkins and explore the corn maze with Daddy and Mommy.

(Sadie is waving her doughnut to make sure Mommy sees it.)

This past week, Sadie had her first ear infection. Thank you Nana and Bob Bob for providing some emergency childcare. Sadie loved spending time with you. She is feeling a lot better now and had a really great time these past few days.

On Thursday, she had fun playing with Pete and Danielle, who visited from California. Friday, we had a great visit with Mommy's old friend Katie and her three year old boy, Jack. At night, Sadie loved the Homecoming Parade and the bonfire.

Saturday was Homecoming and we went to the Young Alumni Tent where Sadie entered the kid's coloring contest and won a prize in the Under 6 category. It was her first time winning a prize! She got a fun Dart-Moose stuffed animal. We all enjoyed the beautiful weather and the football game.

Aili's birthday party at the gymnastics studio topped off our very exciting Saturday. No wonder Sadie took a morning and an afternoon nap today.

Less than one week until our visit to NYC for Kate's wedding and to see Grandpa, Grandma and Aunt Jenny. We are looking forward to it.

We loved the pictures of the 3 of you enjoying the fall, and we are especially happy that Sadie is well. We send our thank yous to Nana and BobBob for being there for you! Well, to say that we are looking forward to seeing you all would be an understatement! We are so excited! Stay well! Lots of love, Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Jenny

This was such a great posting--a healthy Sadie, beautiful pictures and descriptive text. It was nice to see that you took full advantage of the perfect autumn weather. It's too bad that this season is so short. I hope that you all have as much fun in NYC next weekend.

What a beautiful weekend you all had. I'm so glad Sadie is better. It was my pleasure to help out with Sadie- I love to cuddle with her. Love Nana
