Sage's 13th!!!

In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. —1 Thessalonians 5:18

Happy 13th birthday Sage Merced 

John and I went to a wedding in Newport, Friday, returned Saturday afternoon. So we had little time to put together Sage's party, I did put a few things together earlier in the week so we wouldn't be crazy rushed. I bought a fire pit off Craigslist, did a Costco run, so things went really smoothly.  

Sage made herself a great group of friends pretty fast, although she misses her friends back home desperately, it's been a blessing for her to connect with others. Second to left her cousin Kana

John and I on our little getaway, we had so much fun at the wedding, it was at the Pelican Hotel Newport. So funny we checked into our hotel, put our things down in the "Master room" then checked out the suit, it was really beautiful, then John say's, what's this door to?" Oh our master bedroom, it was a two bedroom suit, it made us instantly miss the kids....
