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.

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.

In the Army now

When Carey graduated from Basic Combat Training at Fort Jackson in Columbia, SC, Sawyer and I drop down to see him. We were able to spend the day before graduation on post with him and then we stayed in a hotel that night and went back for graduation the next day. I didn't get too many pictures as we were trying to soak up as much time with Carey as possible. However a kind couple next to me held Sawyer while I got some pictures of the opening ceremony. FAMILY DAY The soldiers were hiding out in the forest on the far side and all of the sudden there were several loud booms and smoke and they all came running over through the smoke. After the opening ceremony they were released to the families. We spent the day seeing the base and spending time with Sawyer. Sawyer getting some wiggle time while we ate a picnic lunch Crashed out in the hotel room after a long day. He slept through my entire morning routine GRADUATION DAY All d

Hold Me Now

Seems like I am always behind these days. I think I am going to have to start posting these in the mornings. I thought that I would be able to do it in the evenings after Sawyer went to bed. That has been when I am getting the most things done. However, it appears that the evenings are going to be Oscar's worst times. He's tired but won't sleep and just wants to be held. I end up breaking out the pacifier or my finger to keep him calm. So then not much is getting done. I'm going to catch up on a few days today and hopefully start being a little more regular. This week was insane. We closed on the refinance of our house on Tuesday. The developer we bought from said that the lot behind us was unbuildable. Now that there is a new developer in the neighborhood, they have a product that they want to fit on it. Since we have trees behind us on our lot that aren't in the fence, we want to get them in the fence and do some grading to make the space really usable. Wedne
