Singing in the Rain

Our friends and neighbors have been so wonderful about making sure we stay busy, distracted, and FED while Carey is gone. We are so grateful. We went to the pool yesterday with our next door neighbors and they helped wrangle Sawyer while I dealt with Oscar. That way everyone got to win. Our neighbors Casey and her kids Scarlett and Auggie invited us to go to the Zoo with them this morning. We both have memberships and are 10 minutes away so it's an easy trip. With a 20% chance of rain, we figured it was worth the risk. Turns out we had several downpours. The kids still had a great time and there was lots of splashing and stomping in the water. Good thing we wore crocs instead of sneakers! Both Sawyer and Oscar are sleeping peacefully and I've gotten all the ingredients chopped and prepped for dinner tonight. I'm going to try to get some computer stuff done before they wake up and our plan is to snuggle and play the rest of this rainy afternoon. It's been a great weekend.

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

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!

Rollin'

It's finally the weekend. Although these days, I think the weekends are as exhausting as the week days. I have both boys all day and we've somehow managed to pack the days full. Last night we were able to play outside for a little bit before dinner. Sawyer is getting pretty good with this toy that our friends the Flaggs gave us. I don't even know what it's called but you roll around on it. He really wanted to play yard hockey but Oscar wouldn't sleep or lay on a blanket, he just wanted to nurse and be held. Initially Sawyer did really well with the fact that the baby needed so much. I don't know if it is because Carey is gone or because it's been two months, but Sawyer seems to have less and less patience with me and Oscar. I have to keep reminding myself that he is four. And when you are tired, hungry, and four, patience is not a strong suit. Then again, when you are tired, hungry and thirty-four, patience isn't much of a strong suit either. :) ...
