Thank You Grandma!

We had the best visit this week. We miss everyone so much. It seems like Christmas was so long ago... Well, besides good company and free baby sitting, we got some clothes and diaper supplies while they were here. One of the funniest purchases we made that weekend were these sun glasses. 

We had no idea if Sawyer would let us put them on him or not... but he loved them. I bet it was cool to see everything all red. His latest fun thing to do is sticking out his tongue, and he does it all the time. Enjoy the pictures!

Sawyer has new skills! Our little monster has mastered the art of grabbing something in front of him, and then putting it into his little mouth. This was a pretty exciting milestone. Now we can put toys above him or in front of him and he can amuse himself trying to get them. Of course, this meant he needed more fun noisy toys! Thanks to Grandma and Gran'pa Might for taking care of that :)

As you can see, he has also managed to get all kinds of fingers into his mouth as well. He has been experimenting with different combinations...

While at times, he seems to be trying to fit as many fingers as he can into his mouth at once!

Still, he seems to always go back to the thumb :) Like Mommy!

My monster is getting bigger!

Mr. Sawyer is getting so big. Lee suggested we pack up some of his newborn sized clothes soon, since he is really too long for so much already. I just can't believe it.  So I told him no. Feel free to check out some great new pictures on our photo site! He's so big....

Sawyer's new cousin Harper Jean arrived on the fourteenth. She is absolutely adorable! Born at 12:45 in the morning, she was 6 pounds, 13 ounces, and 19 inches long. Welcome baby! We hope to meet you soon. 

In the mean time, Sawyer has been making new friends. Lee's friend from work, Christy, came over for a while with her son Bryson.  Bryson was born in September, so he's a little bigger. But they still hit it off pretty well :)

Christmas in Cleveland

Well, we made it there and back (NOT without serious events!). We were bouncing around from house to house, trying to see just about everyone we could imagine. I think we pulled it off. Of course, we wish we had more time. We were so sorry to have to leave on Friday. However, by the time we got home, Sawyer had been squeezed and smooched by a lot of people.  Check out our photo page to see the play by play. We felt so loved this holiday! Thanks to everyone who welcomed us and warmed us. We miss you!

Tennessee Christmas

Well folks... Here is what our first Christmas looks like in Murfreesboro! I made a video of the living room decorations so everyone can check it out. I doubt it's as festive as what we will find up there! However, with Sawyer on my hip I am absolutely proud I got this much up... The video is here, or you can use the link to our You Tube page over on the right.

The tree was Lee's idea. He's so bright :) I think it turned out excellent.  We are also making lots of cookies. And, obviously, we decorated Sawyer. His antlers were from Grandpa Might.

We can't wait to see everyone! 

It Followed Us!!!!

NOOOOOOooooooooo......

The Snow has followed us to TN. This is the first time there has been measurable snow in Nashville, in December, since 2000. Seriously. That is unbelievable. The other really funny thing is that by nine o'clock tonight, every area school was closed. We can only imagine what it's going to be like out there tomorrow... Amateurs! 

At least it is beautiful :)

Pregnant Again!?!

Ok.. just kidding! The photos of me holding Sawyer in his wrap make me look pregnant again... But that's the closest I will be to pregnant for a while!  Lee took a few pictures, because the baby was just too cute once he fell asleep in it. 

He seems very happy to be back nearly in his old residence. Carrying him in this familiar way actually felt great for my back too. Nevermind how sweet it is to have him so close to me :)  A good deal of our cooking for tomorrow's dinner was done with him in this very spot. 

                       Turkey Day !!!

We have some spectacular plans for tomorrows turkey dinner... We will be making a turkey breast with out stuffing. The smallest whole turkey at our grocer was still HUGE!  With a few mashed potatoes and lots of gravy, it will be a very satisfying meal. Perfect for Sawyer's first Thanksgiving. We will be missing all the traditional dishes... like Grandma's baked beans and homemade pecan pie! This year we will have to just get by with a minimal meal. Christmas time will be a real feast. Until then, here are a few more pictures to hold ya'll over :)
