Done with PT

Sage is officially done with Physical Therapy!  She had her last appointment on the 15th.  She has reached the full flexibility that is needed and did all the exercises that Miss Anne asked her to do.  She still will walk on her toes but it is more of a habit that needs to be broken.  We are hoping with ballet classes she will realize when she is on her toes and know that dance class is the only time to be on her toes!  She got to pick out a prize on her last day of PT.  She picked a bag of army men.  Miss Anne said she was surprised because the prize closet is filled with princess, and girl stuff but she wanted the army men.  She has been playing with the army men a ton - and loves them!

Family Day!

I had to go pick up some cupcakes for a girls night and the store is about 30 minutes away.  We decided to make a family day of it.  The cupcake store is in a really cute area with a fun downtown.  We went out to lunch and walked a little bit - it was raining!   Then we headed to the cupcake store.  We all enjoyed some yummy treats!

 This was the first time Quinn sat in a high chair in a restaurant!

 Sage asked me to take a picture of her too!

Gnawing away and hoping those teeth would come in soon!

The Park

It has been beautiful weather here, nice but not hot!  We have been trying to take advantage of this  weather.  We went to the park and had lunch outside last week.  Sage had a great time playing in the park, we went on a nature trail for a hike and also did the story walk.   The story walk is new to the park and it is a partnership with the local library.  Pages of a book are put on platforms along the trail so as you walk along you can read the book.  Sage loved it!

So lucky that I get to spend each day with these two beautiful girls!

Sensory Box

Last week Sage asked me to get down the box of rice to play with.  The little toys I had to go in it were in Quinn's room and she was napping.  So I went around the kitchen to find a few things for her to play with.  She loved it!  She took it outside and played on the patio for the entire time Quinn was napping.

Sitting up!

This girl is officially sitting up by herself!   She sometimes forgets and throws herself backwards.  She doesn't like the end result then and we are hoping she will stop that soon.  She is such a happy girl!

Princess Dance Camp

We had another dance camp for Sage to go to when we got back from Michigan.  She was really excited to go, there were three of her friends in the class with her.  They did a little program for the parents at the end of the camp.  I was the last parent that got back to the class - I was still on time but the dance teacher was going to start early.  That is the only reason I can think of that Sage had covered her face with her dress because I wasn't there to see her show.  Luckily I got there before it started and was able to give Rebecca my phone to get some good pictures.  We have signed Sage up for weekly ballet classes starting in early August.  She is really excited! 

 Sage and Lydia - these two have so much fun together.  

Does the shoe fit?

We have lots of princess dress-up clothes, shoes and jewelry in our house.  Sage plays with it all the time.  A few weeks ago she thought Quinn should play with her too.  She kept trying to get Quinn to wear a pair of her dress-up shoes.  It was so cute.  She kept trying and trying to get it to stay on Quinn's foot!  Quinn was more than happy to play along!

4th of July!

It was such a wonderful 4th!  The only thing missing was Reese.  We went to see our family and had a really good day.  It started off with a parade.  I think the parade was Sage's favorite part of the day.  They threw candy, confetti, and necklaces!  She was in heaven. 

Here she is at the parade!

This is where Quinn was for almost the whole parade - in Miranda's arms!   She was so content with her. 

CJ, Lucas, Brady and Sage after the parade.  All having a snack from the loot they got at the parade.   

After the parade we went out to Grandpa's cottage.  It was a beautiful sunny day.  The kids played in the water, went for a boat ride and played.  They played hard all day.  This is the only picture I took at the cottage, Aunt Terri, Quinn and Grandpa.  I love it!  It was a busy day and I must have forgotten to take any more pictures.  We were just having way to much fun!  We left the cottage after dinner to go back to my parents.  We stopped at Aunt Jane and Uncle Gene's on the way home.  Quinn was so tired and wouldn't fall asleep - instead she screamed for a half hour.  Got her home and she went right to sleep.  We ended up doing a few fireworks with Sage and she finally went to bed around 10pm!   It was a long but good day. 

Holding hands!

This was one of the pictures I took while we were up north to send to Reese.  We were gone for two weeks.  It was a long time for all of us - we were glad to be back together!  Love that they are holding hands in the picture.
