A Day in the Life of Sadie

Sadie and Elvis (s)

2010-06-06T21:35:00.004-05:00

It was the Elvis Fest this weekend in Tupelo. I worked the tribute artist performers. Its like the Miss America for Elvis. The older Elvis in the blue is Kevin Mills , he won first place. The younger one giving Sadie a kiss is Cody Slaughter . He won 2nd . He should have been 1st he was amazing . It was like seeing a ghost when he performed. Sadie was with me last year when I worked the festival . I tried to upload the pregnant pictures with the Elvis's touching my belly but the other card wasn't working. I will try again later.It was nice having her on the outside this year for all the fun and its nice to have my ankles back. She is 9 months old and we have 4 teeth. I am thinking a future Elvis Fan is in the making!

The first goose egg

2010-05-26T20:41:00.003-05:00

Our first goose egg! Tommy was at a baseball game and Sadie and I were hanging out. She is learning to pull up and this time she lost her balance and her head hit the wall . I had heard a goose egg was good but damn that Natasha Richardson with her head bump. So I freaked and grabbed the first pair of shoes I could find, a pair of black high heels, and off we went. We were quite the sight . Sadie was very wal-mart esq in her shirt and diaper and me in my pj's and high heels. I decided to take her to the after hours clinic thinking if it was really bad they could get me into the ER faster. The last thing I wanted to do was sit in a n ER for 5 hours for them to tell me she was fine and then receive a $2000 bill later. The clinic was closed so I prayed and then it came to me. Fire departments have first responders and EMT's they could check her out and if it was bad now we would get int he ER faster and a fire truck ride. The men were super nice and checked her out . She passed all the test and they said keep her up and hour and as long as she doesn't vomit we were good. So now we have a great story and a cool Junior Fire Fighter sticker we can put in her baby book. You can see it in the picture . What a night ! God is good!

Happy Family

These would have been great pictures if the star of the show would have just turned toward the camera.

Sadie's first Gumtree

2010-05-26T20:14:00.002-05:00

Gumtree is a big deal here in Tupelo . They do a 5 k run in the morning where people stand out side the route and cheer the runners on. Sadie was a big hit! Then we went to downtown to look at all the art work for sale. Sadie was actually filmed for a Tupelo Promo video. Her first film debut. I think it will be something like move to Tupelo and you can have a pretty baby like this one. Ha!

One month later

2010-05-26T20:06:00.002-05:00

The Attack!

Ok so I don't know how to turn the pictures. Here is her first snow here in Tupelo and a picture of her at New Years. It is amazing in these few posts how much she has changed and looks different today.
I am still missing the Valentines and St Paddy's Pics but I think we are almost caught up. Hopefully this will make up for the lost time.

Christmas for Rachel and I started on Tuesday after Sadie went to bed we exchanged gifts. The following morning we left for Jackson so we could do Christmas with Connie on Wednesday. Then, on Christmas Eve we drove thru nasty weather to get to Independence LA. This is where Sadie's Great grandparents live, so she finally got to meet her Paw Paw. On Christmas Eve night the whole family goes to uncle Paul's house for a big party. Finally, Christmas is here and we are on the road again to McComb for Christmas with Rachel's dad and his family. After lunch we headed back to Madison and stayed with Aunt Annette. Saturday we made the journey home so we visit with Ruff and Angelia before going to do Christmas with my parents.

Uncle Pete and Aunt Leslie let Rachel, "the Brat", and I stay at there house near Independence.

Thanksgiving

2009-12-09T12:05:00.004-06:00

Sorry this is so late, it has been very busy at Ethridge Construction lately. For Thanksgiving, Rachel, Sadie, and I went to Brandon for dinner at Rachel's Mom's house. My parents also came, as well as Rachel's Aunt Annette, Uncle Steve, Grandma, Cousin Adam, Cousin Jason, Cousin Erin, and her sister Angela. Dinner was great, even though the house smelled like ham instead of turkey. Here are a few pics of the day.
Aunt Annette finaly got to hold her niece.

Great Grandma Carmel just can't get enough of her first great grand child.

Here is our little turkey.

Cousin Jason and Sadie hit it off.

Sadie's Christening

2009-11-13T12:06:00.007-06:00

Saturday, Novermber 7, 2009 will always be a special day Rachel and I, but more importantly Sadie. This is the day that she began her journey with God. Sadie was baptized this past Saturday in the same Christening gown that I wore for my baptism almost 29 years ago. She would probably be wearing the one that my mom had worn at hers, had she thought it was a great idea to cut it up to make a doll dress. I must tell you that Saturday, as Rachel was getting Sadie dressed, was the first time I had ever seen this Christening gown. And as Rachel pulled it out of the bag, I think I heard a younger version of my father say," He's not wearing that damn thing!". Some of you must be wondering how my mother ever talked my father into letting me leave the house in this very femine outfit, the rest of you are probably wondering what I looked like in said gown. You will never know.

Here we are with Sadie's Godparents while Father Tom blesses the water.

Here's Sadie getting the "dunk".

And being annointed with the oil of salvation.

Sadie checking out her Baptismal candle.

Afterwards with her godparents, Steve and Elizabeth.

Here is that picture of the 4 generations I was waiting to get.

A special thanks Dennis and Vicki Wilson, Dennis was my photographer for the evening.

Here's Uncle Steve with his new Goddaughter.

Also a special thanks to my mom and dad for hosting Sadie's first afterparty at their house.

Happy Halloween

2009-11-06T13:04:00.005-06:00

I was gone to see Ole Miss lose at Auburn, but it looks like Sadie, Rachel, her mom, and her grandma had plenty of fun. Didn't get any 4 generations pics, but everyone is coming back this weekend for Sadie's baptisim.

Grandma and her first great grandchild.

Connie got her turn as well.

My mom was left all alone at home, so she came over for dinner Saturday night.

Sunday Funday

2009-10-26T14:34:00.003-05:00

We had a relaxing Sunday, where none of us got out of our pj's until it was time to go to dinner at my parents house. This is Sadie enjoying the big screen TV.

Here she is upset because I told her she would have to share her chair with me. It was my spot first.

Relaxing, watching some Sunday night football with dad after a long day. She was awake most of the day.

First Day of Pamcare

2009-10-26T14:15:00.002-05:00

I was home this morning to help Rachel and Sadie get ready for their first day back to work and of daycare. We are calling it Pamcare because Pam is the lady keeping Sadie.

Here she is, half asleep, ready to go to Pam's.

This is Pam. Hopefully all will go well today. I have to say, Rachel was way more composed than I had imagined. I am proud of her.

Jaime Visits

2009-10-26T14:09:00.002-05:00

As I said, Rachel and Sadie left the grove early on Saturday. That was because Rachel's friend Jaime was coming to town to spend the night and hang out with Sadie. I didn't get many pictures because they left me in charge and went shopping. When they got back I hung out for a minute, and then I was off to bed.

Good Luck Charm

2009-10-26T13:59:00.003-05:00

Sadie made her first of many trips to the grove on Saturday. She and mom left early, but she was there long enough to be the Rebels new good luck charm. Now I just have to convince mom she has to be in the grove for the Tennessee and LSU games, so we can win.

I am pretty sure that this is the look I will get.

MH and Matthew were in town for the game and MH could not wait to get her hands on Sadie. As you can tell it was a little cool before the game.

Sadie, showing off her duds. It is never too early to start dressing for the grove. We left her high heels in Tupelo.

This is Kelly pretending to not be jealous of MH gettiing to hold Sadie. Kelly has a cold, but she will see her again, soon enough.

Good Weekend

2009-10-19T11:38:00.007-05:00

Rachels dad, Monty, came to Tupelo this weekend to visit. He and his friend Susan came up on Saturday morning. We enjoyed their company Saturday for dinner, and Sunday morning before they returned to McComb.

This is Sadie chilling out with Big Dad and his "friend" Susan.

On Sunday my parents came over for breakfast and to visit. Here is Sadie with her two grandpa's.
