Some books are better than others. Some books are great books. I found something better than a book at the library.

Mother and Child 31/365
Simply beautiful in my eyes. Something that I need to remember to treasure more and more.

Stirring the waters of faith
I just love this picture. Wasn't what I had planned on catching but it is what I ended up with. Simply beautiful, I think anyway.

1 month old and it is supposed to be spring 29/365
Yesterday was the beginning of what was supposed to be a blizzard but it turned out to be several inches of ice covered by several inches of snow. Here is Adelaide getting taken into Church. Her sisters didn't quite wait for her.
Dapples and greys 28/365
Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleepy little baby.
When you wake, you shall have,
All the pretty little horses.
Blacks and bays, dapples and greys,
Go to sleep you little baby,
Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleepy little baby.

Smiling? 27/365
Dawn has been claiming that Addie has been smiling for the past few days. I will admit to having seen those random newborn smiles that are either them seeing their guardian angel or just coincidence. Dawn was trying to get Adelaide to smile, this is as close as we got.

Too much Love? 26/365
March 25th, 2009
Dawn finished nursing Adelaide this evening and held her and rocked her for awhile. When she went to change her diaper we found that holding her on Dawn's heart left an impression. If you look close, the shape of Dawn's heart-shaped necklace was impressed into Addie's skin.
Disclaimer: No infants were harmed in the making of this photo.

Marsupialish 25/365
No, we aren't marsupials but we have learned a little bit from them in terms of carrying kids. They love it and it is easier to get stuff done.

Worn Out Shopper 24/365
Adelaide went shopping with mommy while her sisters were at art class. Addie is such an avid shopper she wore herself out. What did daddy get out of Addie doing all that shopping? I get to look at this t-shirt! ("I'll always be daddy's little girl!")

Grace flows 23/365
Today was Addie's baptism. The imparting of grace is too beautiful a thing to waste. God Bless you little Adelaide Victoria!

Keeper at Sunrise
Took this picture at the literal crack of dawn at the Keeper of the Plains in Wichita, Ks. This is located at the confluence of the Big and Little Arkansas River. Dawn said I should try to find someone to buy pictures I take like this. She said something to the effect that it looks like a postcard. I wished the clouds had been a bit further off the horizon and I could have taken the picture about 5 minutes later for just a bit more light on the horizon. Unfortunately, the lights that illuminate the keeper were turned off about 4 minutes after this picture was taken.

Sitting and Reading 21/365
Already sitting up and reading books. If you look close (click on the picture and the all sizes link), this is a children's book on pregnancy! One of these days i am going to have to put a brick on her head to keep her from growing!

Priveleged view 20/365
I figured for today I would let you see something that I see and let you see it how I see it. This is what i see when I hold my little baby.
My wife has a couple ideas that we may have to try as we get going further on down the road. If you have any, feel free to get ahold of me by commenting, calling, emailing or however you communicate so I can make it a reality.

Where's Adelaide? 19/365
Addie is the bigger one of the two in case you couldn't tell. I think she has about 1/2 an inch more reach than the doll finally. Nothing fancy today, but it was a busy one.

Price of Admission 18/365
We had some good friends come for a visit tonight. They paid the price of admission, food, and got to hold little Addie. Thanks for the pizza, yummy. Oh, and the good company rocked as well.

First trip to the park 17/365
It was such a nice day, we just had to go to the park and play for awhile.
A few quiet moments 16/365
Shhhh! Actually, when she is sleeping she can sleep through lots of noise. Don't worry, even when I don't get them uploaded right away, I am still snapping pictures of the little one every day.

A Visit from The Great Grandpa 15/365
Addie is two weeks old today and she got a huge gift, a visit from her Great Grandfather. Great Grandpa came bearing choclate, cookies and dollars bills for her sisters. Great Grandpa came claiming to want to see if Addie could talk and showed how ornery us Sauer men could be playing with everyone.

My Friend Flicka (aka My Sis Addie) 14/365
One of the things that Dawn does for school is read chapter books aloud to the kids. Today Anna held her little sister, Adelaide, while Dawn read a couple chapters from, "My Friend Flicka".
Bathtime 13/365 and an outtake
Originally, today's picture was going to be a cute capture of Mary holding Addie:
However, Dawn had a different idea for today, March 12th, and she didn't even realize it. This project isn't just a chance for me to do really cool edited pictures or make things that visually "Pop". Yes, I love to do that kind of thing but this project is about catching the first year of a little girl's life, one frame and one day at a time. Little Adelaide will grow so much over this year. If you are reading things, thank you for following along on the ride. Yep, I couldn't help but catch the first bath.

Her Heart in Her Hands 12/365
I saw Dawn holding Addie as I was carrying laundry up and down the hallway. Caughter her making faces at her while holding Adelaide's head in her hand. Grabbed my camera, framed it up a bit and here ya go, day 12.

Floating in the Kitchen 11/365
Since she can't walk and she wants to keep up with her sisters she decided to float around after them. We had to put a stop to this real quick.

Lost: Cord's Gone 10/365
Addie lost her cord this evening. Yeah, another step in growing up, oh wait, stop it! Stay my baby for a little while longer.

Runny Nose 9/365
Well, Addie caught the head cold the rest of us had, she has a stuffy nose and a very low grade fever that we are watching very closely and have gotten medicinal advice from the doc about. Oh, and that is her pink guard dog!.
Road Trip 8/365
One week old now!
Mom decided to go to a get together in western Sedgwick County. Adelaide is in her sling here getting ready to load up and tag along with mom. That's the way mom does it, baby goes with her almost everywhere.

Triplets? or Where's Addie 7/365
The baby doll on the left has at times been mistaken as a real baby and it's really bad when we don't realize people think it is real and we are walking along swinging it by it's leg. I am usually very afraid to leave it in the car but secretly wish for a hidden camera so I could put it in a car seat with a blanket, park it at a convenience store and let the mayhem ensue, maybe leave the windows open or a door open.
On second thoughts, nah, that wouldn't be any fun. I will stick to being straight-laced. Friday, March 7, 2009 . . . almost a week old.

A Twinkle in our Eyes 5/365
9 months ago Adelaide was little more than a twinkle in our eyes but we still loved her greatly, she was probably just a little bit bigger than a resident of Whoville.

You are due today 4/365
She already looks a little different. Today (March 3rd) is Adelaide's due date. Today is also the day her 4 older sister's came back home. They all love Addie and could barely stand to wait to hold her.
