So today was cloudy and rainy so we stayed home and played here. Not worth the two hour drive and the expense to have everything wet and attractions closed. Sadie did not mind though. We told her that the morning of her birthday she could open her presents from Dave and Adina's family and the one from Grandma Barb and the rest she could open at night after cake and ice cream. She was in our room at 6:15 am this morning- after staying up until 11:00. She was so excited. She loved the presents of course. My favorite was the beautiful white dress from Aunt Adina. Sadie was so cute, she said "I bet Morgan has one just like me." and I told her she was probably right. Barb, of course Sadie loved the dress, I loved the Belle dress too, loved that you bought it and we didn't have to buy yet another dress up. Thank you both very, very, much- the Dave Stinchfield kids too, they are so thoughtful. We had bought all of Sadie's presents on Friday but Mike took her out to help her learn to ride a bike and we discovered that her bike was too small so he loaded her in the car and they ran to the PX to get a new bike. Spoiled rotten.

Buffy, I have a huge favor to ask. You know how we have the same comforter, except different colors? Is there anyway you could make a quick run and see if they are carrying those anymore? I know they probably aren't, but our bed is king size now and I bought a queen in the taupe color because of our bed frame. Now we have a different bed and yet we still love the taupe bedspread. We cheat by making it long on one side and not having any on the other side. Just if you get a chance. I can't tell you how much I would appreciate it.

Well I'm off to bed, Mike's sleeping on the couch because he put his back out today helping Sadie ride her bike. It might have something to do with all the heavy lifting and moving all weekend. He's got a very busy week ahead of him, hopefully it will feel better tomorrow morning. We love you all very much.
