Sadbh’s update – July 3rd 2013


Before Sadbh went to sleep last night Katie told her that Poppy was coming to visit for the weekend.
She had a great sleep and woke up asking where Poppy was. She searched all over the house until Katie explained that he was due to arrive later in the day.

Mommy made Sadbh banana-blueberry pancakes for breakfast and Sadbh devoured two enormous ones.  Afterwards, they packed up the stroller headed off for a walk. 

Katie had some errands to do up on Broadway and afterwards they nosed around in the shops for a bit.  Sadbh was in her element and she loved looking at all the dresses, shirts, purses, shoes, earrings and everything else she spotted.

On the way back, Sadbh quickly fell fast asleep in her stroller so Katie decided to continue walking around Capital Hill.  Sadbh didn’t sleep long, however, and when she woke up, Katie and Sadbh both enjoyed a nice cold ice cream treat.

Sadbh was in such a good mood that Katie decided to take her with her for a quick pedicure.  Sadbh sat on Katie’s lap while Katie had her toes painted.  No doubt the first of many Mommy and Daughter pedicure visits.

Sadbh and Katie made their way home just in time to get everything ready for a quick trach care routine as soon as daddy got back from work.  Trach care went well and as soon as we were done, we packed up in the car to go get Poppy from the airport. 

On the way to the airport, Sadbh received a beautiful video from her little cousin in Cork, Fionn.  She loves watching videos of Fionn and asks to see him every day. 

As we approached the airport, Sadbh kept saying that Poppy was right there (pointing out the window).  She soon decided that he must be hiding behind one of the trees in the distance and he was going to “pop” out.

She was delighted to see him and even more excited when we all went out to dinner over in West Seattle.  Sadbh had a lovely dinner, but she mostly loved stealing French Fries from everyone’s plate and wandering around saying hi to everyone else in the restaurant.

Before heading home we stopped off for a stroll along Alki beach.  Summer is in full swing in Seattle and there is nothing more beautiful than sunset on the beach.  Half of Seattle must have been out and there was even one little boy who was buried in sand up to his neck.  Sadbh thought this was very interesting and she stopped to watch him for quite some time. She was definitely in her element and was even more excited when she got her second helping of ice cream for the day.

It was a great day all around and we are all looking forward to spending the long holiday weekend with friends and family. 




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
