SAGE IS WALKING!

Sage is finally walking on her own! She has been taking her precious time getting around to it. I guess I can't blame her because she crawls so fast she can get anywhere very quickly. She can take about 10 steps in a row before she decides to squat onto the floor. I took this cute picture of her today walking and the video below is from one week ago, July 6th at my sister-in-law Liz's house. That was the first day she took so many steps in a row. Before this video she had been taking 2 or 3 steps at a time and then lowering to the ground. She is pretty coordinated and isn't falling down very much. She chooses to stop and crawl instead. I hope y'all enjoy the picture and video!

Lake Seneca and July 4th

We went to Palmyra, NY on our annual Hill Cumorah Pageant trip. We stayed in Geneva which is about 20 minutes away. It borders Lake Seneca, one of the finger lakes, and it is the most beautiful lake I’ve ever seen. I love traveling there every year and enjoying the scenery. We stopped on the side of the road in Geneva to take this picture. Isn’t that water gorgeous? We decided that if we were very wealthy, one of our many vacation homes would be on this lake.

Here we are watching the fireworks in good old Pittston, PA. We put some noise cancelling headphones on Sage. She loved the fireworks. We had a great 4th of July weekend. We went to a fun party, had John’s 10 year high school reunion , and we had the Pitcavage family reunion. Lots of food, fireworks, and fun.

Beach Trip to Cape May, NJ on Father's Day weekend

Here we are on the beach in Cape May, NJ on June 19th. Sage loved playing in the sand with her sand tools. Thank goodness for the bumbo chair cause that kept her in one spot. She didn’t like getting sand on her hands. She would turn to me and wait for me to clean it off. We were amazed at how well she entertained herself on the beach. She also loved the ocean. She would laugh when a wave came and hit her feet. She also loved the pool at the hotel. She is very much a water baby.


This is us at the adorable downtown Cape May. It is full of adorable shops and restaurants. We had some yummy seafood and ice cream afterwards.

Here is Sage with her Daddy on Father’s Day. She is pretty crazy about her Daddy and they are so cute together. It’s hard to believe this is their second Father’s Day together. Sage is so blessed to have such a wonderful and loving father.

John bought Sage the world’s largest rubber duckie at a shop in Cape May. Duckie was one of Sage’s first words and no bath is complete without her duckies. She enjoys throwing this one all around the tub. As you can see, it makes quite the splash. 

Sage's birthday party in Texas

Here we are, the legendary Prince family.
I was in Texas on Mother's Day so John sent me these beautiful flowers. He's so sweet.

Here I am with my awesome friends from high school. I should say from grade school. Here is Aprill, Jessica, me, and Rainie. I was so thrilled they all happened to be in town that weekend. Especially Rainie who lives in L.A. It was so great to see them.
My amazing sister Stephanie made this cake. She is literally supermom. She has a lot of experience making elaborate cakes for her kids birthday parties. She was such a big help to me for this party. She also organized a surprise baby shower for me at Olive Garden during my trip. She's so thoughtful.

Sage and I flew to Texas on May 6th and stayed for 5 days. It wasn't easy traveling by myself with her but it was worth it. My sister Stephanie drove down with her family from Kansas and Melanie came in from school. Everyone was there and it was great to spend time with my family. We had a birthday party for her and my 3 best friends from high school came too. It was a packed trip. My sisters and mom threw me a surprise baby shower at Olive Garden, my cousin Alex got baptized, we had Sage's party, and Mother's Day to celebrate. I wanted to visit one more time before having another baby. Here are a few pictures from our trip.

Sage's 1st Birthday!!!

I made this pinata cake under the direction of my genius sister via phone. It was my first time doing a cake like this so I was pleased with the way it turned out. The pinata is a replica of the birthday invitations I made.
We had the kids break a pinata in the backyard. This boy, Justin ended up beheading the pinata. The kids had a good time.
Here we are before singing happy birthday.
Right after we sang happy birthday everyone clapped and Sage took that as her cue to entertain so she played peekaboo with everyone. How cute is our daughter?


I took way too long to post this but better late than never! We had 2 birthday parties for Sage. The first was here in PA at John's parents house and the second was with my family in Texas. Her birthday is Cinco de Mayo so we had a great time with a fiesta theme. We had yummy mexican food, a cake shaped like a pinata, and a great time with everyone. Here are some pictures from the first party in PA.

Recent Pics of Sage

Sage fell asleep in the car on the way home from church. How cute!

This was the first time Sage stood up holding onto something. She loves the dishwasher. As soon as I open it she crawls towards it at turbo speed.
Here is Sage with her cute cousin Emma. Emma is only 6 weeks younger. They have fun playing together.
Here she is sporting her cute outfit after church.

This was taken on March 3rd, John's 28th birthday. It was on a Wednesday so I brought his cake to the church and the youth sang happy birthday to him.

Here are a few recent pictures of Sage. She is growing up so fast before our very eyes! Now her toys aren't very exciting for her so she is much more interested in drawers, cabinets, and especially the dishwasher. She is a very curious little girl. She can now say bye bye, bath, duckie, daddy, and mama. When she talks she whispers the words. It is so adorable. She seems to absorb so much and changes every day. She is truly the joy of our lives.
