Boys, boys, boys!

I'm surrounded by boys and loving it! Scott went to Reno for work, and the boys and I survived his absence. We love it MUCH more when Daddy is home, though! Jack is still loving school and he is getting very excited for Christmas and Santa's visit! He's talking up a storm, and is VERY active and all boy right now. We occassionally have to put toys away that are flung across the house! Sawyer is quickly showing us that he wants to be a star in our house, too. He's full of smiles, laughter, and coos. He loves playing Pat-A-Cake with Mommy and laughs when we sing "The Wheels on the Bus" or "Deck the Halls." The last few nights, he's only nursed once...hallelujah! It will probably be awhile before he rolls over or sits on his own...he's so big and I'm not as good about tummy time with #2! Scott and I feel so blessed to have these two little boys in our lives.

Sawyer's first trip to the Lone Star State

Sawyer and I flew to Texas on Thursday, November 6th to meet our adorable new newphew/cousin, Austin. We had a great visit and the babies had fun together...well they slept, ate and were in each other's presence. Austin's four days older, but you can see from the pics that Sawyer's a wee bit bigger! We got to visit with Grandmommy/Grandfather, Uncle Mitch/Conner/Marley, Daniele and Kim/Hans/Griffin, too. It was a wonderful visit, and we can't wait to return at Christmas.

Election Day

Sawyer and I went to do our civic duty on Tuesday, and thankfully the lines weren't too long. As you can see, he's pretty happy with the results!

Trick or Treat!

Jack absolutely LOVED trick-or-treating this year! We had a big group out with us that night including his pal, Cooper. Jack knocked on the door and said, "Happy Halloween. Trick or treat!" We practiced this at home. He practically ran from house to house for almost an hour! Sawyer was part of the fun, too, and slept great that night after all the excitment! The pictures didn't come out well, but here is a little glimpse of our fun!

Ghouls at the Grassmere Zoo

On Sunday night, we attended the annual Halloween party at the zoo. The boys were decked out in their costumes, and we all had a great night in the cool Nashville weather. Jack loved bouncing in the inflatables, getting down on the dance floor, going on the "spooky" hayride, riding the carousel, and trick or treating around the zoo. Sawyer loved just being outside and taking in new sights and sounds. The boys' entourage (Mommy, Daddy, Grandma and Grandpa) just loved seeing them have fun!

Halloween costsumes 2008

Jack insisted that he should be a cowboy, and Sawyer should be an Indian. Great idea, Jack!

Aunt Daniele comes to town

We had a great time when Dani came to visit. Jack and I miss her so much already, and he is insisting on playing at her house with his friend, Cameron, at Christmas. We took the boys to a pumpkin festival in Franklin on Saturday, and Scott watched the little guys so Dani and I could have some girl time. It was a short but wonderful visit!
