Card Game

Reese used to play this card game with Sloan.  He puts the card on his forehead and then the kids try to get it off.  Last night was the first time Reese played this game with Sage and she loved it!  I think Reese loved it too!

Rocking Chair

The last few days Sage has really been enjoying her rocking chair.  It is my rocking chair from when I was little and I love that Sage now gets to use it.  She really has fun rocking away!

Weekend away & A Birthday!

The first weekend of October I went to Charlotte, NC for a wedding.  My friend Stephanie got married and it was a beautiful wedding.  It was my first time away from Sage for more than a few hours.  I am happy to report that Sage and I both survived.  So did Reese!  It was really nice to get away, but I was really ready to come home.  It is amazing how much you can miss your little ones.  I couldn't wait to get home and hug and kiss all over Sage - Reese too!  It was fun meeting all of Steph's Charlotte friends and to catch up with some friends from home.  Some of whom I hadn't seen in eight years!  Here are some pics from the weekend.  After the weekend it was good to get HOME!!

The venue was "Roof with a View" the name says it all.  Nikki, Becky, Shelley and I all left the kids and husbands at home for the weekend.   What a fun weekend!

Shelley and I having some fun.  I got to see Shelley two weekends in a row!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!  Hope you have a great day sis!

New Car Seat II

Sage had her first ride in the new car seat yesterday and she seemed to enjoy it.  Lots more room in the new seat!  She was dressed in Chicago Bears gear for Daddy and hoping for a win!  Hopefully next week the Bears will be on T.V. and Daddy can enjoy the game instead of just the highlights on ESPN. 

Oh no, Mom, not a new seat!

She was growling at me from her new seat, I took it as a sign of thanks for her new seat!

Party Update

Here is a group shot from the party yesterday!  Right after these group shots were taken the balloons all started popping and none of the babies cried!

Happy Sunday!

We just got back from church and Sage is taking a nap.  We joined the church today and I am excited to have a new church family.  It is going to be a great church for our family, there are so many wonderful people and lots of opportunities for us to get involved. 

This is another picture from Apple Fest - I borrowed this picture from Bev's blog.  Thanks Bev!  I don't get many pictures of Sage and I together and I love this one!  

Playgroup Birthday Party!

We had a birthday party today for all the babies in our playgroup.  We were at a local park, and the weather cooperated it was a beautiful morning.  The babies all had fun swinging and walking/crawling all over the place.  The babies all got cupcakes for dessert and what fun it was to watch them all dig in!  It was a preview for us for Sage and her birthday cake.  Let's just say she wasn't shy about digging in!   I love being a part of this group! 

All the babies ready to dig into their cupcakes!  Thanks Bev for letting us use your booster seat - we forgot Sage's. 

Sage was one of the first babies to dig in - big surprise!  She was loving the frosting.  I didn't get any pictures after she was covered in frosting.  I was to busy trying to make sure she didn't end up with frosting all over her hair.  Don't worry I will let her get covered at her birthday party!

Sage and Daddy hanging out!  If you can believe it, this is after the cupcake and she isn't covered in frosting - it took alot of wipes to get her clean:) 

Apple Fest

We went to Apple Fest today, it was downtown and there was lots of good apple food to enjoy!  We all had the apple cobbler with ice cream - all the kids enjoyed it!  The event raises money for the Salvation Army.  We had a great time!  We went with Bev and Case & Sarah and Liam, two friends from my Mom's group.  It is a beautiful day out with the sun shining and the temps in the high 70's!  What a great way to spend the afternoon! 

 Sarah And Liam enjoying the day.

 Case, Sage and Liam having fun together, Liam's balloon had just flown away.

 Sage was really having fun with her balloon, she kept wanting to bite it.  Luckily the balloon didn't pop!

New Car Seat

It is time to put Sage in her new car seat.  I got it out of the box this morning and Sage was very interested in it.  I figured we should try it out!  So here she is enjoying her new seat.  She will still be facing backwards in the car until she is at least a year.  We are going to keep her facing backward as long as we can since it is safer for her to face backward.  It is on the agenda this weekend to get the new seat installed in the car.  I can't believe she will no longer be using her infant seat.  She is getting so big!
