5.5 glorious weeks and counting!

Dear Mr. Blog,
I'm sorry I've been ignoring you. We've been having so much fun this summer and going to and fro that I've felt overwhelmed at the thought of updating you. So here goes...
1. It has been 5.5 wonderful and amazing weeks of good health for Sage. We give all the credit and glory to God and we are THANKFUL. This is a HUGE deal for our family. HUGE.
2. Jude is crawling all over and pulling to stand on all our furniture. He is also eating more table food and has crawled up the stairs 1x. We are trying to figure out how to babyproof the stairs but it is a little tricky. We wanted to put up a banister (since the fool that built our home didn't put one up on either set of our stairs) but it would likely require a full day's work on Lance's part and neither of us is really excited about that idea. We plan to get out the babygates next to see what we can make work.
3. Ainsley is riding her bike sans training wheels and loves it. She and Lance went for a 10 mile ride yesterday. Poor girl. She was dripping in sweat and her face was beat red when she got home.

In between all of these milestones we've been to NC, IN, a butterfly exhibit just down the street from us, and the beach is next week! Pictures will come soon!
