meal time

Sage had a new task at lunch today. She was given a bowl of pasta and a fork and spoon. Now it wasnt just plain pasta, It has sauce on it and chicken in it. I was so happy that most did end up in her mouth and not on the floor. Not once did she pick up the bowl and toss it to the ground. She did try to eat with the spoon but mostly dipped and licked off the sauce. Here are some pictures of the happy girl at lunch.

wordless Wednesday

I miss Sage being this little

oh vacume you did us well

The other day I got to take Sage out for a long day with our friend April and Kaiden. We drove to Shawnee on the hunt for hoodies so April could make more dinos. While some things were a hit we did find out that there is no Chick a fil in shawnee!!! We then let the kids nap on the way to the science museum to meet Rachel, Mark and Michael. after a long but good day out with friends. I came home to a clean house and a clean car, but our vacuum payed the price. It is now dead and we now are looking to get a new one. I wish we had the money to get a dyson but at the moment we dont. It was time for our little vacuum to die. It had a long life of well over 3 years. on a lighter note April and I got some pictures of our kids in the tees that she had made on an adventure to the gardens downtown.

we tried to get them to stand next to each other 

one of my favorite pictures of the day

hello 2012

We are now a week into 2012 and things couldn't be better. Sage is talking up a storm we can only understand about 5 words like cat, dog, mom, dad, baby and whats that? We have gone to the zoo twice this week because of or weird weather this week. Its january and its 60+ out side. Last year was a good one with my little girl turning one and learning to walk and starting to talk.

minutes old

over a year old. my how she has changed. 

This year will be a good one too with a goal of loosing all the baby weight and sticking with it this time. I am loving where im at in life now and know that god gave me this time to stay home for a reason. I love that i get to teach sage all that she needs to know and she helps me learn to be a better person.
