Singing in the Rain

Our friends and neighbors have been so wonderful about making sure we stay busy, distracted, and FED while Carey is gone. We are so grateful. We went to the pool yesterday with our next door neighbors and they helped wrangle Sawyer while I dealt with Oscar. That way everyone got to win. Our neighbors Casey and her kids Scarlett and Auggie invited us to go to the Zoo with them this morning. We both have memberships and are 10 minutes away so it's an easy trip. With a 20% chance of rain, we figured it was worth the risk. Turns out we had several downpours. The kids still had a great time and there was lots of splashing and stomping in the water. Good thing we wore crocs instead of sneakers! Both Sawyer and Oscar are sleeping peacefully and I've gotten all the ingredients chopped and prepped for dinner tonight. I'm going to try to get some computer stuff done before they wake up and our plan is to snuggle and play the rest of this rainy afternoon. It's been a great weekend.

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.

Work this Body

We haven't had an eventful week. After the craziness of last week, I am incredibly happy about that. Oscar was 10 weeks old yesterday. It's unbelievable how fast time is passing. One of the things I tried to focus on this pregnancy and maternity leave, differently than last time, is to make sure that I am focused on being healthy and not so much on weight and body shape. Ten weeks postpartum, I am only eight pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight. However, my body is much softer and hips are much wider. I am still having trouble fitting into pre-pregnancy clothes. I decided to pick up my workouts in addition to the stepbet that I am already doing. However, those two things can sometimes be in conflict with each other. My body definitely needs the strength workouts, but I am not able to squeeze in a walk in addition to the workout, so in order to make my steps, I am having to get creative. This week I started a new Nike Training Club plan. NTC is a free app that I use to giv...

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

SNOW DAY! We had a cold snowy day two weeks ago. It was cold and rainy with flurries intermixed all day long. We snuggled on the couch and watched movies and I studied for a midterm but by late afternoon the snow was coming down a lot! We got an inch or so in less than 30 minutes. By the time we got our act together it was too dark for outside pictures but as soon as everyone was up Sunday morning we got dressed and went outside to document Sawyer's first snow day. This bear outfit was a hand-me-down from our friends the W's. Their son was born in June so he never wore it. Sawyer looked precious bundled up in it for our pictures. He didn't much like being outside. It was COLD and BRIGHT! Hopefully that trend won't continue. We want him to love the outdoors as much as we do!
