Okay. So it's been a while since I last posted anything. So much has happened. School has started for Michelle and Mason, which is fantastic!! I never thought that I would be one of those parents who is excited for school to start. Boy...was I wrong! This is Michelle's second year in preschool and if you ask her who her teacher is she will tell you Miss Allison. This was actually her teacher last year, but she insists that she is her teacher. This is Mason's first year in preschool. I cannot believe that he is old enough to go to school. I'm kind of weird about dates and I thought that is was interesting that his very first day of school was 3 years to the day that we received him in our home! Interesting.

I also attended a fascinating seminar on picky eaters. Any of you that know my children know that Mason only likes and/or eats about 10-15 foods. His sensory system is so sensitive. Anyhow SAARC was putting on this free seminar. It was amazing. It is incredible how much there is to learn about eating. I took pages and pages of notes and I am so excited to implement some of the ideas. Hopefully some of them will work. The Dr. that gave the seminar is from Colorado. She has a full service clinic up there. Depending on how things go...we may have to take him up there. Hopefully not though. We are still waiting to get into a nutritionist. I'm sure we'll figure something out.

This Saturday, as many of you know, is another very special day for our family. Saige and Gage will be sealed to us! I am so excited! Another interesting thing about the date is that this will be the day that Gage turns nine months. Saige looks absolutely angelic in her beautiful white dress and Gage looks so studly in his little white suit. Man...I love these kidddos so much! We have been so blessed. It's hard to believe that we are all done with CPS and our family is complete (at least the adopting part)! It has been one heck of a journey but there truly is no more glorious moment than to see them in the House of our Lord. I look forward to Saturday and only wish that we could stay in the Temple all day with them. I am so grateful for my membership in this wonderful and amazing Gospel. It has blessed my life tremendously. I am grateful for the testimony that I have of so many simple and plain truths. I am grateful for a wonderful eternal companion who truly displays Christlike love. I am grateful for the Temple and for the opportunity that I have to go and worship and learn more about my Savior. I am grateful that I know that we can all belong to an eternal family. I am grateful for my soon to be complete eternal family!
