We Are Family


My sister moved to Raleigh in July of last year after having been in Idaho for 3 years. We LOVE having her family closer. Sawyer will be able to grow up near his cousins and we can get support from each other. They came to visit a few weeks ago and I took some pictures of the boys holding Sawyer. They were both very good with him. Seth pats his head every time he goes by and always wants to read him stories. Rory wants to always give him a pacifier and have him play. We continue to tell him that Sawyer just needs to get a little bigger.

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.

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...

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.

Boys of Summer

Clearly I am behind on the blog. We've been taking lots of pictures but with all the travel and school and increase in work, I haven't been able to take the time to do more posts.
