Daddy-Daughter Dance


Daddy Daughter

Last night, Sadie and Dan went to the Daddy-Daughter Valentine's Dance at our local community center. They looked wonderful and I hear they had a lot of fun. Dan reported that Sadie mostly danced with her friends but danced with him a few times.

They came home at 8:30 at night, with Sadie happy, tired and clutching a purple carnation. Each girl got a flower when she arrived at the dance!

Turtle Sadie

In the Reptile House at the National Zoo there was a Discovery Room with lots of things to touch and explore, like snake skins, all kinds of reptile skeletons and this amazing turtle shell that kids could try on. Sadie enjoyed it all, especially the turtle shell.

This shell is pretty big but there were several live turtles which were even bigger. We saw them!

Fun in Washington DC


White House
Originally uploaded by Dan and Ann
We had a great long weekend in DC with Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Jenny and Andy.

Lots of pics posted on Flickr. We all enjoyed the American History Museum, Air and Space Museum, National Zoo, White House, Washington Monument and Natural History Museum. Swimming in the hotel pool was another highlight!

It snowed one of the days we were there...about 3 inches, which would have been no big deal here in NH but totally flummoxed DC. We were giggling to see people putting salt on top of the snow and trying to move it around with brooms!

Sadie made this drawing yesterday at school. Can you tell what she was trying to depict?

This is one of my favorites of her recent drawings.

Sledding!

Dan and the girls took advantage of the relatively mild weather on Sunday to sled in the backyard.

Bye Bye!


Bye Bye!

Nellie put on Sadie's hat, Sadie's vest and a shopping bag and headed to the door, declaring "Bye bye!". She's always excited to go out on any sort of errand or excursion.

It reminds me of this one of Sadie, doing the same thing at 23 months old.

off to work

1st Ski Lesson

Sadie started ski lessons at Storrs Hill in Lebanon yesterday. It's a 6 week series of classes. She and Dan had a great time.

She's wearing her bike helmet over her hat because they were sold out of ski helmets in her size. The new shipment arrived yesterday afternoon, so now she has a real ski helmet for next week.
