she really does understand...imagine that!

yesterday Ryan, Sadie and I were sitting outside on the porch and we had a funny little conversation with Sadie. She was being very obstinate and didn't want anyone messing with her while she played with her rocks so Ryan decided to ask her a few questions just to see if she was listening.

"Sadie, will you give me hugs?"

-No

"Can I have a rock?"

-No

"Do you want to go inside"

-No

"Do you want to eat some Candy?"

-uh huh

Goes to show she really is listening. We laughed pretty hard at this we thought she was just saying No to everything we asked her to maintain that little oppositional personality of hers, but really she could never turn down anything edible. She'd eat all day if we let her.

Update on our Denver trip. We had a great time looking at houses. Mostly all of the houses we looked at were bank owned homes so many were in bad shape but there were some really nice ones as well. We put an offer on one while we were there and are still waiting to hear back from them. The banks often take very long time to respond we are finding. The house we made an offer on is just what we're looking for 3 bed, a sewing room!!!, and a loft. That's right, this house was pretty much made with me in mind. The previous owners turned one of the bedrooms into a sewing/craft room and it is fabulous!! It would make sewing immensely more enjoyable having a nice open space to work in. We really hope we get this house!
