the other day we went on a walk once everyone's homework was done. it was so relaxing and fun.
bailey picked our route. sawyer picked the destination.
we fed the ducks at the duck pond.
the fact that this boy can hold a piece of bread. and break off little pieces and throw them to ducks is crazy huge. you have no idea. unless you do. :-)
the other night i was referring to when i was pregnant with sawyer and the doctors told me they thought he had some "issues". it was only a couple weeks of uncertainty and fear and unknown. and it was all happening when no one even knew we were pregnant. it was a HARD couple weeks. but was a big step in my faithwalk - i went to God with it ALL...not others. even if the potential issues had remained, God would have still been the same God He is today.
but...when i was referring to it the other night with pat, he had NO idea what i was talking about!! didn't remember it AT ALL. guys. seriously?!?
BUT, i wonder if those circumstances are why i have such a strong connection to sawyer? if that is why i stare at him just a little bit longer each night when i peek in at all the kids? if that is why i kiss him just one extra time? i don't know.
he is an incredible blessing to me. his sweetness and calmness are a constant in my very crazy days. when the bus picks up our neighbor for kindergarten at 11:30 am every day, my heart skips a beat...next year it will be picking sawyer up for school. ugh.
it was a great afternoon together!!!

We were told with Ainsley that she might have 'issues' too and then they told me not to worry. yeah, right! i prayed a lot and had the same feelings you did. henry acted like it was nothing. men!
loving the weather. it's unseasonably warm (70s the last few days, 80 today) in pittsburgh too. calling for snow next wednesday. summer to winter in 7 days. crazy! enjoying the warmth while we can.
