Lately

We have been busy lately!

I have been traveling for work for the past several weeks - just a couple days here and there, but enough to keep us all busy without having mom around.  I've been to an industry training in Houston and Corpus Christi, an offsite meeting/spa day at the Hyatt Lost Pines, and just got back last night from a quick trip to Canadian, Texas to visit some of our well sites.  It was an awesome trip!  I finally got to visit a drilling rig and I was beyond excited.  Canadian is a pretty cute town, and we found the best breakfast and lunch place, The Bucket, with homemade bread and cookies.  The toast and sugar cookies are the best things I've ever tasted in my life.  The trip was even more fun because 5 girls from the office went - we did a lot of laughing and had a blast together.  I absolutely love doing what I do in this industry, and I have met the best people through it.  I am so lucky to have found this company in Austin, where I am truly excited and happy to be at work every day.

Saywer has been a busy bee at school these days also!  We pay an extra activity fee for the summer and they have different activities planned every single day for the kids.  It's nice they try to break up the routine a little bit.  So far a fire truck and zoo show have visited, they did a stretching class (which I think was just rolling balls around), they ate blue jello for "Ocean Day" and I know this Friday is Splash Day.

Sawyer was brave and held a giant cockraoch!

I think they were painting a brown bear here - Sawyer is the bald-looking man child lower right.

Sawyer has also been having fun with Daddy in the evenings when I've been away - eating applesauce without a spoon (same way Dad eats it), playing outside, and playing with no shirt on (also same as Dad).

I also upgraded my car from the Chicco infant car seat to a Britax Marathon, courtesy of my friend's sister who sweetly passed hers down to us.  It may have a flower cover but Sawyer loves facing forward in both cars now!  (And we're ordering a more boy-friendly cover from etsy soon!)

Last weekend was our first weekend at the neighborhood pool and we had a blast!  We went Saturday and Sunday, and lucked out with it being almost empty both times.  We didn't stay long, but we're trying to get Sawyer warmed up to the idea.  Mom and Dad are having fun though!

That's what we've been up to lately!
