Ah.... the Shire! Roosters crowing, Zucchini festivals, meadows to frolic in, and people who are Pittsfield Proud! It was Sadie's first road trip, she did pretty darn good too. We went to visit Nana, Kelley, and Paul, since John had a wedding to go to near my mom's house. We would have all went..... but we know how it goes with the Boss! Yes, that would be Sadie. She probably wouldn't have lasted an entire wedding considering getting through a grocery trip without an incident is a big deal! It was great to be home and show Sadie the wonders of the Shire (people who are Lord of the Rings fanatics like I am will get this reference. And if you have been to the Berkshires, don't tell me you couldn't picture hobbits living happily there). She loved being walked around outside, looking at all the trees and greenery surrounding her. And, of course, she had her entourage back. Nana loved having her granddaughter visit! I was shocked, in a good way, that Sadie slept completely through the night in her pack and play in a new place. This bodes well for future road trips. This means you, NJ Grandparents! And to top it all off- we had a visit from Maria and Maddie! Maddie is 19 months old and is quite the beauty! What an awesome little girl she is, I loved spending some time with her. Maria is due with her second little bundle in late September, so Maddie will have a sister very soon. Maria still looked like a rock star of course, definitely had that pregnancy glow about her. She is my oldest friend. You ever have a friend where you can't remember how old you were when you became friends because she has just always been there? That's Maria. Her dad used to call us the giggle twins (or was it giggle girls, Maria?) because when we got together, that's all we used to do- giggle and laugh. She lived two houses up from me and we were stuck together like glue most of the time. I hope Sadie has a friend like that. Someone to have the ever important sleepovers with, where you laugh all night long (and get told by parents to go to sleep), and someone who will help organize a kick-ass summertime lemonade stand in the hopes of raising enough money for their "hamster fund". I am laughing as I am writing this.... ah.... good times, good times! Too bad hamsters have such a short life expectancy! Anyways, it was so awesome to see her again and to walk the same roads we walked so many times as kids, except our own kids were with us. Very cool. It was a short trip, so hopefully next time we can visit longer and show Sadie more of the Shire, so one day she too, can be Pittsfield Proud!! (You have to live there to get this little joke!)

There is gonna be some major girl stuff goin' on in the future with all of you girls, and Maria's new baby girl too. So many tea parties and parading princesses to look forward to.
