Six - Pack Summer

Oscar turned 6 weeks old yesterday. I feel like I am starting to get the hang of parenting two. Evenings are the hardest. Carey is working and to get dinner ready while juggling nursing and giving Sawyer enough attention takes some juggling. Last night we managed to get done with dinner early enough to take a walk. Sawyer was super excited and bounced all the way around the neighborhood. A friend joined us and we took advantage of the cool evening.

I managed to squeeze in a workout in the morning. My first time weight training in months. Not surprisingly, it was tough, and I am sore today. I've set up a workout plan through Nike Training Club which is a free app. It will hopefully keep me motivated. While I am only 12 lbs away from my pre-pregnancy weight, my body composition is light years away from where I'd like it. Especially going into swimsuit season! Until I started back again, I didn't realize how much I need daily exercise. It has made me feel better and have more energy. And it helps offset the Ben and Jerry's. :)

My first book club in the neighborhood is tonight. I haven't read the book yet (whoops). But I am looking forward to a night of fellowship and adult conversation. Oma is keeping Sawyer and I am bringing Oscar with me.

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. Pictures below!

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!
