Fall is Upon Us

We've had a pretty quiet week here in Sawyerville. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous. This is one of my favorite times of year because it always brings me back to my first semester at A&M. I can still remember walking through campus and looking up to a sky that was the brightest of blues and free of clouds for miles. The air was so brisk and clean as it blew through the trees and across my face. Light jackets or A&M sweatshirts hung from the students' backs, just to be removed by lunchtime when the warmth would make its return. That time of my life is a time that I will forever cherish.

Sawyer and I seem to be adjusting well to his one nap schedule. It's really not so bad as long as I keep him stocked in Tupperware, boxes, wrapping paper and paper towel rolls, wooden spoons, and spatulas. Anyone who asks what Sawyer should receive for Christmas will be given the choice of the above items. It seems that those are his favorite toys at the moment. One of his favorite things to do is dump out my 100 Calorie Pack box of Oreos and Chips Ahoy that I got from Sam's. I keep it on my island. The purchase was made so that I could actually consume the above mentioned products, but my son has managed to crush them into oblivion. Oh well, whatever keeps him off the streets! :)


It is loads of fun to crush Mommy's snacks!


I could just eat him up!

Speaking of streets, he is doing better about being outside. He is walking more confidently on the grass and he walked to the mailbox with me yesterday. I know that he will get more and more used to it as time goes on. We just have to keep giving him the opportunity to explore. It's nice outside because there aren't any couches to climb, blinds to grab, remotes in which to channel-surf, stairs to climb, phones to call China. I'm thinking you get my drift! :)

We have a quiet weekend planned. Larry and Velma were here this last weekend. Sawyer had a great time with all of the extra attention. I think Lorne and I forget just how cute he is until someone else is here to watch him too. We just can't get over how observant a little toot we have. He doesn't miss a beat! The trick is to try and stay one step ahead of him at all times!
