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.

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

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!
