Mom and Sawyer are out East...

Shelby, Sawyer and I went out to the East Coast last week to move Shelby into her temporary housing, get Sawyer started at his new daycare and to get Shelby ready for her new job. I, unfortunately, had to come back to Washington to close up shop here and get ready for the final move into our beautiful home in Pennsylvania.

Enough about us!! We know you people really want to see and hear about Sawyer. Sawyer had a rough night the first night we were in temporary housing. Shelby got this great apartment, fully furnished with everything you can think of, but Sawyer did not feel comfortable there and would not go to sleep for us. He finally went to sleep about midnight, but at three in the morning, he started screaming and crying. We tried everything to calm him down, but nothing worked, until....Shelby and I, with the great voices we have (we are talking American Idol preliminary reject. Our voices are so bad, we would be on the show just to see how bad of a nasty comment Simon would give us) starting singing to him. He settled down very quickly. The next day, he settled into his old routine. He is loving his new digs and his new toys. We truly think he likes exploring new places, just as much as we do.

Wish us luck out our move out East.

At least it looks like he found a rocking chair that wasn't too big or too small, but was "just right!" Good luck, y'all!
