Running on Empty


Here we are and I am already behind. So much for daily posting. At this point, I'll consider myself successful if this happens a few days a week. Friday and Saturday were busy days. I took the boys to the pool Friday evening and met up with a slew of neighbors. It really takes a village. Sawyer has been begging to go to the pool since February. I haven't taken him since it opened because I wasn't sure how I could handle a 4 year old and a 4 week old together. Especially when neither of them could swim. Going when all the other parents there allowed us to tag team. It was amazing. Then yesterday morning when Carey was off, we took both boys to the pool again. Oscar slept the whole time so Sawyer got the attention of both of us. The pool was deserted this time, so we had the full run (picture of the day). We spent yesterday afternoon at the farewell party for Sawyer's class. These kids have been together for years and many of them are going to do Pre-K at their home elementary schools. We were packing up to leave when a storm hit. So we hightailed it home and got ready for bed. With the storms continuing, today has been very low key, which my exhausted person needed.

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
