Busy Bees



What a busy weekend! Our friends Derrell and Lindsay came to town for Memorial Day. They arrived Friday. We spent Saturday morning at the pool and then relaxed in the afternoon. Carey had to work, so we stayed up and waited for him a bit. Sunday we all went to the Renaissance Festival. It was hot and muggy, but always a good time. Sawyer was so overwhelmed, he walked around with big eyes the whole time. My childhood friend Lindsey and her son Everett were in town from Kansas. We hadn't seen them in a year so they came over for dinner. After we put Sawyer to bed, we played Settlers of Catan. I grew up playing board games with my siblings and still love playing them now. I can't wait until Sawyer gets older to play with us too. Sawyer was out of school Monday. My friend Andrea was in town from Memphis. She and her family, as well as Jen and her family all came over for brunch. There were 8 adults and 5 kids. I felt a bit crazy trying to host with a 6 week old. But it went well, mass chaos, but fun! We vegged most of the rest of the afternoon and then after the Clarks headed back to Charlotte, we went out to Mexican (or Mex - i - CAN) as Sawyer calls it. It was Carey's last meal before leaving for XCTC (army training). The food was good, weather was nice, and everyone behaved. A great way to end the long 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!
