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.

Friends are Family

We had a wonderful visit in Charlotte. It went by way too fast as usual but was lots of fun. We walked on the greenway close to Derrell and Lindsay's (rental) house, went to see their new house that they are buying, had a cookout with the Clark family, had brunch with our friends Steve and Darcy and their baby, Chloe, and Sawyer got to go see Derrell's work truck.

Fun, Fun, Fun

I apologize for the bad resolution of the pictures, but sometimes my phone is more handy than the camera. We've been working hard on tummy time and Sawyer's muscle control. He's been wiggling like crazy. Most days he only lasts 2-3 minutes on his belly but this particular day he was having a grand time. He's really holding his head up well! Airplane Baby

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...
