Sadie is TWO!!!

It's actually Mother's Day today but I thought it would be a perfect time to sit down and write about the little girl who calls me "Mom." Sadie was born two years ago on May 8th!! I can't believe it. I was sitting in church today watching all the primary kids sing to their mom's and it made me a little misty. One day Sadie will be big enough to stand up there and sing to me! I saw the one little girl who was belting out every word, and the other standing next to her looking miserable. Chase and I looked a each other and said, which one will Sadie be like when she's that old?

I also got the best mother's day gift ever today. Sadie jumped into my arms and cuddled with me for a full three minutes. For any of you who have a toddler, this is a very long time to sit still and hug someone. There I was sitting in my pew with Sadie's little arms around me. I kept thinking that any minute she would put her head up and giggle into my face, but she just kept hugging me. I literally looked up and thanked heavenly father for this little but gigantic gift he gave me today and relished each second that I was able to hold her. She is growing up WAY too fast. It makes me sad and there's nothing I can do about it but just enjoy every minute. Read one extra book, sing "baby mine" one more time, and stop to pick one more dandelion. I hope I can remember to do this. Here are a few pictures of the last two years....a misty stroll down memory lane.
