Picture Overload and update on the girls

I really wanted updated pictures of the girls to print for their room before the baby comes. Our good friend Caitlin with Caitlin Nicole Photography captured some beautiful pictures that really capture their personalities. With getting ready for Baby C and blogging for Motherhood in the Major Leagues,  I have neglected our family blog a little. I am really good at instagraming though. It is so easy since I always have my phone on me and there is a company that I can print my entire instagram history into a book along with all my captions, so that makes me feel better. I love it because I get a record of the "every day" things that may seem insignificant, but that are fun to look back on. However, with new pictures of the girls I do want to take a minute and record a few things about each of them that we don't want to forget.

Sage update

Our girl started preschool! She was so excited. She has been talking about it and looking forward to school starting all summer long. The last couple weeks we had to make a chain counting down because she would ask every day if it was time for school. The night before we had a special dinner and FHE celebrating "back to school." The theme of our FHE was "Love One Another" and we talked about being a good friend and loving and being kind to everyone. Taylor also gave her a blessing which was really special. Her teacher is Ms Stephanie, which is one of her nursery leaders at church, who Sage just adores.  She knows most of the kids in her class and came home and told us every last detail about her day. We are so excited and proud of her.
