The Mathieu House






These pictures are about a month old, but Callie and Nuri's house is moving right along!  I know they've been working hard getting the interior painting done so they can move on to the next projects. 

Blackberry Clean Up


These pictures are actually from the day before Sadie was born.  We spent that Saturday battling blackberry growing on the bottom of the hill on our property.  Our motivation was so that we could take Ezra down there.  She loves running around off-leash in this part of the yard.  More pictures to come of the other improvements we've been making down here. 

Celebrating Mom's Birthday in Portland

Hannah and me and our "babies"



We had a nice family get together yesterday to celebrate my mom's birthday and hang out with Sadie some more.  We brought Ezra down so everyone could meet her too- she did pretty good. 

Baby Faces!
















I tried hard to get some smiling photos, and came close... Sadie has the cutest expressions and is very good at: burping, spitting up, sneezing, hick-up-ing, stretching, yawning and eating.  Loving those wide open eyes!

Visiting Portland













I just can't get enough of those chubby cheeks and adorable lips and cross-eyes!  Hanging out with Hannah and Sadie was super fun and relaxing.  I'm so glad I got to spend some time with her while she is still so little. 

Sadie!




I know these images are copyrighted and I probably shouldn't be posting them, but in all fairness, I also ordered a print.  Sadie is just about the cutest thing alive and I took a ton of pictures of her over the past couple of days while I was visiting.  But these photos are just amazing! (what a fun job it would be to take newborn pictures!)  More to come...
