Growing

Sadie is growing every day...just look at those cheeks. I don't see a lot of me in her, but she does have my dimples :)

We had a good weekend, great weather today. Tom built some shelves in the basement to help us organize all the stuff! I'll be using diaper boxes to re-pack some things and put them on our new shelves this week!

My walkers

Here's Tom and Sophie at the big walk last weekend! We had such a fun day there. Thank you to everyone who helped us meet our goal!

Great site for creative fun ideas

I found a site for great craft ideas with preschoolers. They have a weekly email that they will send to you, too. The web address is http://www.kidscraftweekly.com/index.html. Last week we made the alphabet letters with glue and cheerios! Sophie loved it. We also started going through magazines and cutting out letters...we will get around to using them in a collage sometime soon. Enjoy!

My little chunk

Here's Sadie Joy relaxing in the sunshine last week. She is such a little chunk, and we love that! She has graduated to size 2 diapers already and is bursting out of some of the smaller 0-3 outfits. Especially the ones with feet. How fabulous to be big and healthy! She is feeling much better (we all are) and is sleeping better now that her cold is gone. She's making some Ooo and Ahh sounds and focusing in more on people that are talking to her. Tom came home last night and when she heard his voice she was craning her head and looking for him! That made his day :)

March for Babies

The big walk was today and we went and had great fun doing all the fun activities. We didn't actually "walk" this year, but we enjoyed ourselves! We weren't sure how it would work with Sadie's eating schedule to be out on the 5 mile trek...so we will lace up next year for the walk again! We did succeed in meeting our fundraising goal and we are so excited! We had a couple of corporate matching gifts that pushed us right up to $1500! Thank you so much to everyone that supported Team Cotts and helped us raise $ for such a great cause.
All the Cotts' girls have been sick this past week, but are feeling much better this weekend. We had yucky head colds and they kept us inside most of the week. The nice thing about that was that we were able to witness the beauty of spring outside our windows more each day. It has been the most beautiful spring I can ever remember! The flowering trees have been amazing! What a beautiful world we live in!
