Memorial Day

We had a good Memorial weekend - lots of family time.  We were able to go out to dinner with Kelly and Jason who were in town visiting.  So good to see them.  Then on Monday Sage and I went to the store and bought some flowers.  Then as a family we all went to our local WWII Memorial Park.  Sage put the flowers at the base of the statue.  Somebody else had left flowers and she wanted to put hers right next to them.  We tired to explain the importance of Memorial day to her and I think she got it.  She knew we were putting the flowers there in remembrance of all the soldiers that have given the ulitmate sacrifice.  

First Day vs. Last Day

Look how big our girl has gotten this year!  These pictures are from the first day and last day of school.  Sage looks so big to me!  Love this girl so much!

Last Day of School Celebration

Sage was so excited for her last day of school - a little bit more excited than this Momma!   I will miss my few hours break with just Quinn.  But it will be nice to have Sage around all the time again.  She had so much fun at school this year and has changed lots during this year.  Sage's class put on a little program for us on the last day.  They sang us some songs and each student got a certificate.  Then cookies and lemonade were served to end the celebration. 

How did she get so big!

Miss Pam, Sage, and Miss Heather - 

we both really liked her teachers.

 

A celebration at Orange Leaf for a great school year!

Sippy Cup

I got out a sippy cup for Quinn to try a few weeks ago and she loved it!   I think she liked it more for the fact that it helped her gums feel better instead of the water that was coming out. 

 Love this little cutie!

I think she was trying to look at Sage across the table. 

Indoor Playground

We went to a new indoor playground and Sage loved it!   It is at a church and it is free to the public.  It was about 30 minutes from our house.  The place was huge!   Sage had so much fun running around and exploring.  I loved how nice it was but didn't like that the kids could basically disappear into the play structure.   I see lots of visits to this playground for us!

Sisters!

Sage had to get in on the monthly pictures with Quinn.  Love these two!

Five Months!

Going along with my being late on these monthly updates of Quinn she is now well over 5 1/2 months and finally here is her 5 month update.  She continues to be such a happy baby!  She only cries when she is hungry, has a dirty diaper or is tired.  She loves to watch Sage and hangs on her every word.  Sage is so good with her and loves having Quinn as her little sister.  We are very blessed that the transition from one to two girls has gone so smoothly.   The girls are interacting more and if Quinn is crying or upset all it takes is for Sage to go talk to her and she will quiet right down.  Her first tooth still isn't in yet and she is chewing on everything and drooling all over the place. 

This is the look I usually see - her smiling face and I love it!

Yogurt melts

This was taken right after Quinn tried yogurt melts for the first time.  She loved them but I think we will wait a few more weeks to try them again.  I had to break them into 4 pieces and give them to her.  She loved the taste but isn't quite ready for them. 

Petting Zoo

A few weeks ago at Sage's school they had a petting zoo.  I got this picture texted to me from her teacher!  I thought she looked like she was having fun.  Until I talked to her teacher.  Sage was the only one that wouldn't ride the pony.  Maybe next time!
