Earth – #52Snapshots

Today’s #52Snapshots of Life theme is Earth. Protecting our planet and the environment is a very important cause that is the central focus of two holidays this week, Earth Day and Arbor Day. Sadie and I celebrated Earth Day on Wednesday by enjoying some outdoor time. All our Spring flowers are in bloom and all the trees are starting to come to life again. It’s a great time of year to enjoy the beauty of nature. Unfortunately it’s also the time of year when breathing in all that nature causes sneezing fits and sinus headaches. So once Sadie had her fill of nature this Earth Day, we decided to celebrate the planet indoors. I blew up my inflatable Earth beach ball, and Sadie and I knocked the ball around in the comfort of my mostly allergen-free home.

A Birthday Vacation!

Today is my 30th birthday! To celebrate this momentous occasion, Sadie and I are taking a family vacation. As you are reading this, my family and I, including Sadie, will already be in sunny Florida for a week long stay. Since I will be traveling unplugged this time, with no tablet or laptop for blogging, I’ve scheduled a week of random photo posts for you to enjoy. Next week I’ll be back to tell you all about our trip!

My Little Pumpkin

Today I’ve decided to share some #ThrowbackThursday pictures of my little pumpkin’s first Halloween. Unfortunately we didn’t get to celebrate much that year as Hurricane Sandy put a damper on our fun. But Sadie still made quite an adorable pumpkin, even if no one got to see her.

Celebrate Flag Day!

Thanks for liking us! Sadie and I really appreciate the love!

Today is Flag Day, and with Summer just around the corner, it’s the perfect Saturday for some good, old-fashioned American family time, like a backyard barbecue and a game of fetch with your furry ones. In my town, Flag Day means the Avenue of Flags display. At our city hall complex, veterans and volunteers set up dozens and dozens of flags at dawn, lining every road, sidewalk, and path of the grounds. Though they are predominantly American flags, our state flag, city flag, and various military organization flags are also represented. The flags are placed into stands that are drilled into the ground, so that all the flags stand at perfect attention, at exactly the same height, and at precisely the same distance apart. All day people drive or walk through to marvel at the spectacle of so many flags flapping in the breeze. Sadie and I plan to enjoy a patriotic afternoon walk through the Avenue of Flags as our way of celebrating Flag Day.

Celebrating 100 Blog Posts – Black and White Sunday #11

Thanks for liking us! Sadie and I really appreciate the love!

With this post I hit a milestone for my blog – 100 posts. I know I’m still new and this blog is only four months old, but I think 100 posts is something to celebrate. That means I’ve already shared 100 adorable Sadie photos with the world. I’ve gotten many nice comments, met many great people, and I’ve learned a lot. I can’t wait to see what the next 100 posts will bring. And I think judging by her smiling face in the picture above, Sadie is pretty proud of me.
