Sadie Eva Foley....7 lbs. 9 oz. 19 in. born November 28th, 2004 @ 5:15 p.m.

4 years old?! For real? Has it been 4 years? Sadie is convinced she has been 4 for the last 6 months but she is in fact just turning 4 today! I went through around 23 hours of labor in the hospital with my cute little redhead. It was hard and not so comfortable until I had the epidural of course! My whole family was in CA for Thanksgiving and Patrick and Monique's wedding so I had my cute little, extremely pregnant herself, Kari with me. It has definitely not been an easy four years but it has most certainly been action packed! The cute little red headed girl who came into my life four years ago has helped me and blessed me in so many ways. She has a temper. She has attitude for sure. But she is the smartest, most sweet little soul I have ever known. She is so generous and sharing and loves to be around people. She loves her family and her friends. She is so outgoing, sociable, independent and so many other things I wish I were. She loves to sing to the radio and loves to make up words to songs. She has from the very start loved to read books and now has most of them memorized. "Green Eggs and Ham", "Oh, The Places you'll go", and her all time favorite "Goodnight Moon". And SOOOO many others that we usually read about 15 per night. She is the perfect cuddler and loves to help me clean. Even if it isnt always classified as "helping". She loves primary and loves her Heavenly Father and Jesus. She likes to remind me that we need to pray when at times I will forget. She is what I am most grateful for this Thanksgiving holiday. Although at times it is a struggle to be a single mom I have never once regretted the decision to have this little girl and raise her. I have been helped by so many people, especially my family, and without them I do not know how I would have been able to do it. So here are some pictures, only ones I could get since I'm in California and dont have the pictures on my computer so here we go! Happy Birthday Sadie Girl! Okay. I will have to add the pictures later...maybe when I get home. Having problems with uploading them right now. But just so you know, she was the cutest bably and still is the cutest and most beautiful girl ever! Red hair and green eyes? That little girl is so lucky! I love you sweet girl!
