my niece Sadie turned one year old TODAY!!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY SADIE!!  it's hard to believe that this little gal is already walking and saying my name -- JJ.  my sister lives up in grand rapids but came down for a b-day party for miss Sadie a few weeks ago.  this, of course, meant i would be the photographer of said b-day party.  some might fear such a responsibility of documenting one year olds in their natural habitat, i.e., running around half naked, eating devouring cake, fat rolls, screaming their heads off because of the amount of sugar my sis...their parents gave them.  not me, ha, i embrace the position! 
my sister also asked me to take Sadie's one year old pictures.  this was a privilege and a blessing.  Sadie is by far the happiest baby i know.  she always has this big (toothless) grin on her face that causes me to have just smile back.  okay, enough talking.  Sadie Michael, Ella (the older sister), and Ella's friends...
