Sadie

I'd like to start this post with a picture of Sadie that my brother painted. I took the picture to do a portrait in oil pastel myself, and then my brother called looking for a picture of her. This picture was perfect for the prompt he was given in his class. My brother Brian is a fairly new member of the art community. He started painting about a year ago, if not a little longer. He shows great promise, and I just really liked how he captured my little Sadie in this painting so I thought I'd share it.

Next I would like to thank the Buie family for this awesome idea. Sadie had a lot of fun making these butterfly wings, although she was a little disappointed that she couldn't actually fly.

She was so excited to make her wings that we ended up making them before getting ready for the day, hence the pj's and her messy hair.

Yes she has marker and chocolate from a granola bar on her face,

but I still think she is a cutie pie.

And then I left the room for a few minutes and I came back to this. This is what happens when I bring markers into the house, and why Sadie usually only has crayons. Don't worry she isn't mad, just chewing a pretzel.

Oh how I love my little Sadie. She is getting too big already, and it makes me sad thinking of the day when she'll be old enough to leave and start her own family. I just hope she stays her sweet self, and that I can teach her everything she'll need to know.
