Steve and Melinda

This past weekend we had a chance to celebrate Steve and Melinda's recent engagement with a cruise on the Duffy Boats in Newport.  My college girlfriends and I brought appetizers and drinks and we had a great time just being together and celebrating Melinda and her great fiance.  We even rounded up all the husbands for this special occasion, which is unprecidented!

Payton Hope Kaufman

For Labor Day weekend we headed down to Arizona to celebrate Payton's arrival with Brian and Amy and my brother Robert.  We had a great time together and so enjoyed loving on this precious little one.  She's such a sweetie and Brian and Amy are doing a great job as new parents.  Here are some favorite photo's from our time together.

New Cousins!

Uncle Robert

Uncle Robert bought us this very loud Winnie the Pooh train.  Sadie loves it, I'm still not sure. :)

Visiting Grandpa & Grandma Moss

Last but not least, Sadie loves Amy & Brian's dog Harley. 
 (Maybe a little too much)

Wait for it ...

Ewwwwww!  Notice she even opens her mouth for it.  She wants so bad to kiss the doggie.

It's A ...

BOY!!!

So we just got home from our ultrasound appointment and can hardly believe IT'S A BOY! That means we have something all new to wrap our minds around.  Daddy has his little boy so maybe he can give up on taking Sadie shooting, Uncle Robert has a little boy to try to make naughty, and I have lots of new decorating to do and clothes to buy. :)  I can't wait!  Anyway, we're thrilled and thankful and also appreciating our little Sadie even more.  I think I'm more attached to the bows and girly things for her now than ever since I don't know when I'm going to get my next chance.
