I Sure Can Smell The Rain

Today was one of those days where I had a huge to-do list and got nothing done. I wanted to get out on a walk with a friend, but we were foiled by the rain that started up around 10am. It wasn't supposed to start until afternoon and was only a 20% chance at best. Well it has been storming off an on all day. Oscar went almost three hours every feeding last night which was amazing! However, it resulted in him nursing almost constantly today. I made a list of ten things I wanted to accomplish this week and have yet to check a single thing off my list. My phone pinged while I was nursing (again) and reminded me that I had a quarterly call for a rating system that my work would like me to lead point on. Considering the SITES rating systems is the one that focuses on the landscape, it's the closest thing to my undergrad studies I've done since I moved back to Atlanta. So even though I am still on maternity leave it was important for me to sit in. Of course, my Mac was cranky about using WebEx, and Oscar decided that he didn't want to be put down. So this afternoon I was having flashbacks of grad school with Sawyer as a newborn. Headset on, cranky baby on shoulder, trying not to sway too far from the computer that I was attached to. There really is nothing new under the sun. Carey came home with Sawyer and was able to get Oscar down for a nap. He and Sawyer had popsicles for snack and are currently playing upstairs. I'm going to attempt a new meatball recipe for dinner.

Hot Fun In the Summertime

I am the co-chair of the parenting committee in our neighborhood (see previous post about over-functioning). We had some funds leftover from our Easter Egg Hunt Social and thought it would be fun to do a pool/pizza party playdate one evening. So last night about 20 families came up to the pool for an afternoon. It was great fun. There were kids from 4 weeks up to 6 years old. It truly takes a village. Kids had no problem coming up to random parents asking for things. Oscar got squished by many mamas and I fed more than one kid who wasn't mine. :) As much as I complain about how "suburban" our neighborhood truly is one of a kind. I managed to get in a short walk yesterday and some work done. I still haven't gotten everything on my to-do list taken care of, but I am trying to be happy about small accomplishments. A friend of a friend is making a new dining table for us. He and his wife came over last night to show us samples of wood stain. We decided on one

All (S)He Wants to Do is Dance

Sawyer has shown an interest in music and dancing and gets really excited when one or the other is happening. Our friend Derrell (after whom Sawyer is named) was over the other night and they were dancing on the changing table. I only caught the tail end on video but the way he's laughing at the beginning of the video was the way he was squealing for a good 5 minutes. It was so cute to watch.

Twice the Speed of Life

This week has blown by. I made Carey go to Marietta Wednesday on his last day off to get me a new military ID. Mine was expired. Sawyer was just a little younger than Oscar when I got my last one and my hair was also in the same rough stage. I felt a sense of deja vu, like I was starting to repeat the last four years. Say it isn't so. :) My espresso machine has been broken since just before Oscar was born and the only place in Atlanta that I could find that was willing to see if they could repair it was also in Marietta so we dropped that off while we were there too. Then Carey and I went out to lunch. Lunch dates are a little different with a babe, but it was nice not to have Sawyer out with us too and worry about him. We picked Sawyer up early and took both boys to see Carey's grandparents. They hadn't met Oscar yet and as his middle name is after Carey's grandfather's, we thought it high time they meet. I hung out inside with Oscar and Grandad and Audrey and
