I'm still alive!

So, I know it has been three months, but let me explain... I lost my camera about a month after Sadie was born and I found it the day before her blessing. (Actually Justin found it, but that is not the point). Luckily it was found in time for her blessing and we were able to get some cute pictures! Since Sadie's blessing I have pretty much been living in Thatcher because Nate has had to work out of town so much so I haven't had time to blog. And now, in the few minutes I have while Sadie is asleep, I don't have time to totally catch everyone up on whats been happening in the Sorensen family over the past few months. So, here's the reader's digest version...
In the past three months I have changed about 600 diapers, had about six hours of sleep, and watched a lot of tv while feeding a cute little girl! Even though it has been hard adjusting to motherhood I really enjoy it. Isn't that weird? Who would ever think that it would be fun to never sleep again? I just love having Sadie in our home and I love taking care of her. It is also nice to have so much help. First of all, Nate is the best dad in the world. Really. He helps me so much at night even though he has to get to work at eight every day. He is a diaper changing champ and it is so cute to watch him with Sadie. I love to hear all the new songs he makes up every day. They all usually have something to do with the word loin-fruit. You would be surprised how many things rhyme with that! We have also had a lot of help from Sadie's grandparents! Grandma Bettie loves coming to Mesa for the weekend so that she can take over night duty with Sadie. And Grandma Becky has been so nice to let me and Sadie stay with her so much while Nate is out of town. It is so fun to see my mom with my daughter. I never knew how cool and weird that would be. Oh, how could I forget... I got to see my best friend Brad Paisley again! We went to his concert on Oct. 1 here in Phoenix. Get this... we had the exact same front-row seats we had in Vegas two years ago! Ashlee and Jessica went with us and we got all dressed up in our boots! (Don't worry, Nate did not join the boot-wearing club.) The concert was amazing! Dierks Bentley was with him and he had a little crush on Jessica. He kept singing to her and he even let her sing "Free and easy down the road I go" into his microphone! It was such a fun night with Nate and his "ladies." So anyway, that's what we've been up to in a nutshell. Here are some pictures from the last few months. Enjoy:)

I have been waiting and waiting!!! SHE IS STINKIN' ADORABLE! I hear you on the no sleep, but hey - good news, eventually they DO sleep and so will you!:) That made me so happy to see a pick of her on the blanket I made! And I love her pink nails, girls are so fun! All Briggs does is grunt, so like a boy. (No, he is a lot of fun too, but you can't dress him up like you can girls!) Anyway, I'll stop blabbing. Next time you're in Thatcher give me a call so I can come and see that cutie in person! Oh, and happy birthday next week! If you're in town we should go to lunch. Okay, I'm done!:)

so glad things are going good. Although you never get to sleep as good it does get better soon....then number two comes along and they take turns having bad nights. Sounds like life has been busy and good.

Loin-fruit that's hilarious. Marty hasn't come up with that one yet. Sadie is a doll. Crazy how fast the time goes, and how they grow so fast. I'm glad you are loving being a mom. I still have a gift I need to send to you, one of these days I will get it in the mail.
