Princess Sadie on her birthday. Unfortunately, we have very few party photos-maybe some friends and family could send some our way.



















After berry picking in mid-August, Sadie helped Aunt Jessica with applesauce marathons and apple coring and peeling festivities. All the apples came from Jessica's farm in Pound and the handy apple corer-peeler came from Sadie's granny. Thank you!


























Over Labor Day, we traveled to Huntingdon, PA for Dave and Renee's wedding and we had a chance to visit old and new friends. Sadie looks a bit sad because Elias (Matt and Jenny's 2 year old) wasn't home when we stopped by. Matt and Sara taught at W&L together; Sadie and Elias were born just a couple months apart, and now Matt teaches at Juniata (Sara's alma mater)--small world.














Our hosts in Huntingdon included Silas Birch Dudash-an amazing little fellow who easily won the hearts of Sara, Scott, and Sadie Mae. Andy and Janine are truly blessed (as is Silas).
