House Update

The house is really coming along. We did a walk through on Wed and they already have all the windows in, all the electical, plumbing, and the house wrapped and ready to be stuccoed (sp), painted, and dry-walled. They will begin putting in cabinets in the next month or so. We are still on schedule to move in the first week of December.

Belated Summer

Because I have been sick most of this summer with this pregnancy, I feel like Jackson and Reagan have missed out a little on their summer. I haven't been able to really get them out of the house (except for trips to both Grandmas for a little help). So, as soon as I start feeling a bit better, we are going to renew our Disneyland passes and try going once a week for a few hours.

The reason for letting the whole blogging world know this, is, that when I write a goal down and am reminded of it by the people I love, I am much more likely to follow through with it. I know it sounds pathetic that I have to make a goal to go to Disneyland, but, these days, I would be happy if I could get to the grocery store or unpack us from our vacation we took a month ago. I can't even tell you the last time I mopped the floor or cleaned the toilets... So, Disneyland is a very lofty goal. Hopefully, I will have some great pictures to share in the next month or so!

Baby Sage #3

I had to take a quick break from the Clear Lake Adventures to let everyone know that we are expecting Baby Sage #3 in March. We are so excited! The kids don't have a clue but are excited, because we are. We won't be finding out the sex of this baby, so I want to put a poll up to see what everyone's guess is. Matt and I think it will be a girl, but just hope for a healthy, happy baby (and that morning sickness will be gone in the next couple of weeks). We will keep everyone posted!

Sunsets at the Lake

One of Matt's favorite things to do is take sunset pictures at Clear Lake. Here are a couple.

The Sage Family Camp

Below is one of our best married purchases (besides our house). The Sage Family Tent trailer is where we spent our nights at Clear Lake (the days were hot, so we were usually down by the lake). It has everything we could possibly need when roughing it--running water, 2 king beds, a fridge, and lights. The only thing it is missing is air conditioning (the kids didn't seem to mind, though).

Camp from a distance

This is the outside of the Sage Motorhome, where we spent many of our Clear Lake Days.

Clear Lake Nature Hike

Laura, Dan and Matt's dad were brave enough to take 5 kids under the age of 5 on a nature walk. The kids had a blast! I think one of their favorite parts was holding on to the rope.
