3...2...1...Blastoff!

On our way back down to South Florida to spend spring break working on our least favorite project, we stopped at Cape Canaveral to see the shuttle launch. Wow! What an amazing experience! It reminded me how much I would still like to be an astronaut (my childhood dream), and how amazing science is and how tiny we are in comparison to everything out there. If you look closely at the last picture you can see a white dot (the shuttle) and then underneath are two tiny white dots (the two rocket boosters) which eventually fall down into the ocean I believe. Anyway, thanks to Dave and April for reminding us it was coming and letting us know where to see it. We had a great time and hope to go again before we move!

We also had a great time with Jen and Doug. Lucky for us they're still in Fort Lauderdale, otherwise all of our trips down would be much less enjoyable. We just wish Russ didn't have to spend the whole time working on the condo so we could see some other people we miss - but Jen & I and the 6 wild kids had fun! Lucky we can always rely on the Pratt girls to give us a bit of a reprieve!

Daddy's Girl

Sadie has recently discovered her "talking" voice. She loves making all kinds of different sounds, especially when her Daddy gets home! It's almost like she's trying to tell him all about her day.

Her new favorite time of day (besides talking to her Dad) is bath time. She hated it the first couple of months, but she's decided she likes it after all and gets very excited kicking her legs all over when she's in the tub. Probably because it's about the only complete one-on-one time she gets with me. Kind of sad being the 4th child I guess, but she does have lots of fun with all her brothers!
