Alumni Ambassador

There is a new program from CMU that I am participating in.  It is through the Admissions Office and it is the Alumni Ambassador program.  When I was on campus at CMU I was a Campus Ambassador.  I gave tours of campus to perspective students. This is basically the same type of program - just off campus.  I have worked two events so far and loved it!   I really loved my time at CMU and it is fun helping recruit new Chippewas!

Soccer Take #2

Sage said she wanted to play soccer again and her second season just ended. I realized at her last game that I hadn't taken one picture this season.  I tried to snap a few pictures that totally didn't turn out.  So at least we have the team picture and her individual picture to show you!  She still is a little timid on the field but seems to enjoy it.  Her last game of the season was her best yet - she was staying with the ball and really going for it!

Happy

We are so lucky to have such a happy baby!  Quinn is usually all smiles and so content.  She plays so good by herself and loves to play with her sister.  I love to see our girls interacting with each other.  They have lots of fun togeher! 

I snapped this pic when we were up at the park last week.  We have really been enjoying these beautiful Fall days.  Even though at 80 degrees in the afternoon it feels like summer to me!

Anniversary

Most of you know that I love decorating for holidays.  I have thrown two more holidays into the mix!  I decorated for back to school this year and just recently our anniversary.  What more special occasion to celebrate then our anniversary.  I had fun finding things around the house to decorate with.  I did buy the stickers in the frame, and the beautiful flowers came from Mimi and Pop-Pop - Thank you!

Lunch!

We usually go out to lunch one day a week after we pick Sage up from school.  On this day we went at Chick-fil-A, that is where Sage usually chooses to go. They were both in such good moods that day! 

Ladybugs!

A few weeks ago when we were on the way to church I realized both girls had on ladybugs.  I had to get a picture of them in their cute outfits.  This is the best we got!

Mac and Cheese

This girl loves to eat!   She is at the point where she wants to feed herself everything!  She will still let me feed her yogurt and help her with the food pouches.  But other than that it is all Quinn.  She doesn't want any help.  She is eating all table food except for the baby food pouches when we are on the go, she is a great eater.   I recently found out that one of her favorites is Mac and Cheese!  She loves it!  I put it on her tray and she can't eat it fast enough. 

Daddy Daughter Date Night

We have some great neighbors that own the local Chick-fil-A.  They have monthly events for kids.  Sage and I missed the Mommy and Daughter event earlier this year but I made sure to make a reservation for Reese and Sage for the Daddy/Daughter Date night.  She had so much fun.  She got all dressed up and I curled her hair for her.   They arrived at the restaurant and were seated at a table set up with a tablecloth, napkins and menus.  They had a server as well!  There was live music playing for the evening.  They ate their meals and she was given a flower before they got a ride in the horse -drawn carriage - just like Cinderella's.   After the carriage ride it was dessert time - cupcakes!  She had so much fun and was so excited for her night with Daddy.  She came home and told me all about their night - my two favorite things she said from the night were:  "I wonder if the carriage will turn into a pumpkin at Midnight?" and "I felt like a real princess on the carriage ride!"   Love her and love that Reese treats our girls like little princesses!

 All ready to go on their date!

 She picked out her outfit and his!

A red carpet for their arrival!

 They had a printed menu. 

 She got a gift from Chick-Fil-A.

 The ride in the horse drawn Cinderella's Carriage.

Nothing better than a yummy cupcake for dessert!

Rock Wall

Sage has always been hesitant to climb on the rock wall at our playground.  A few weeks ago we were at the playground and she said she wanted to try the rock wall.  She did awesome!  She was climbing all over it and having so much fun.  She reminded me that she used to be scared of it, but not any more!  Our girl is getting brave!

 Then there was this girl - loving the swings!
