Missing Mommy....

Last week Shelby was on a business trip to Copenhagen, Denmark. While she was gallivanting around the world, Sawyer and I were bummed that we couldn't go with her on this trip.

So, while we sat on the couch and did the guy thing (watch any sport on TV even if we don't like it), I thought I would update you all on what is going on.

Last week we started occupational therapy for Sawyer. While he has made a great amount of progress over the last few months, he is still very behind on talking - he is not vocal at all. The Philadelphia area Early Intervention group is awesome to work with and seem to be more in tuned to what we, as a family, can do to help Sawyer progress further. This past Tuesday, we had his first appointment with the pediatric doctor at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). She gave Sawyer a clean bill of health and got us started on getting acquainted with the Cranial Facial Team at CHOP.

On the house front - just like our house in Maple Valley, this house needs some updates. So we started in the master bedroom. Of course nothing goes as planned. We originally thought that we could rip up the carpet the previous owner put over very nice hardwood floors and refinish them. Well, when I was taking off the baseboard, it went through the wall. The room now looks like this:

Hopefully in a week or two, I will have it all back together.

Just today, the dishwasher died, too. So, Sawyer and I took a look at it.


Tomorrow, Sawyer and I will be replacing this dishwasher with a new one. HOW FUN!!

OKAY!! I know the real reason you people come here..... AND NOW THE STAR OF THE SHOW....SAWYER!!!!!!!!!!!!

So good to hear from you! Sawyer is getting so tall. Gotta love that kid. I love the pose of pure relaxation when he is snoozing.

Good luck on the house projects. I'm getting a wee tired of those myself. I'm looking forward to taking a break.

OMG: Charlie sleeps in the same pose! And, we have the exact same green-handled fork. These boys have to be related in some way.

Sawyer continues to elicit "awwwwws" here in the house of D. So handsome, and such a great smile!
