Hiatus

just a note: i wrote this post one morning, two months ago, on my tablet

it's dated.

but it is still love.

...

we've been hiatus. i know.

dont worry we only moved... once again.

hopefully this move will stick for a while.

after looking back on it i realized, we've moved once for each year we've been together.

not a bad track record if you ask me.

honestly not a wwhhooleee lot has happened since ive been gone.

biggest news...

i had another nephew, + he is gorgeous.

little liam eli lara, such a doll

other news...

happy Halloween!

this year we hit up cornbellys.

 

we did the maze + the hay rides + the family time, it was fun!

 

sawyer was a very last minute abominable snowman

 

 

 

 

Baby S is now eleven months old, sigh, where has the time gone?

he is very picky with his steps but everywhere with his crawls

he is the definition of lil' piggy

he adores music

+ he is all together just a happy bouncy baby

im still in awe that hes ours.

blake is ((very gratefully)) enjoying his job

+ i am enjoying him basically working from home just as much

we save a gazillion dollars in gas + commuting time

because we live so close to center street its an easy 5 minute walk to stores + the city activities.

my current favorite store is the encore thrift store. beautiful is an understatement.

also on center is guitar co. they make guitars right in front of you and the smell is beyond euphoric. the guitars and ukelelles hang on the walls looking like yummy pastries from the most notable cake store. its delicious.

a few stores down and youll hit the delectable pizza parlor, two jacks. i highly recommended stopping by with a friend + getting the sidewalk special. literally pizza + cheese sticks to die for.

+my last favorite stop is unhinged. this store is unreal. a little over my price budget but the clothes + decor are great eye candy. picture urban outfitters with a positive twist. beautiful.

sometimes we venture a little further down the shops but those are the basic hitups.

its something nice, finally figuring out who you are.

thats what im doing now.

im finding out that im surprisingly good at being sawyers momma

i have more patience + love then i ever thought possible.

its so much fun watching him grow into himself + find his own little personality.

i more often than not find myself creepily<-- a="" font="" is="" nbsp="" that="" word=""> hovering over him 10 minutes longer than the necessary 5 when i put him down for his naps.

is that normal?

mostly because im in awe of his beautiful skin + features.

his pitchfork fingers + his eight teeth with nickel sized gaps.

his deliciously yummy meaty thighes + hearty tummy.

i stare at him + replay the sound of his laughter + mamas + dadas.

ill never get used to being this beautiful boys mommy.

that... i am figuring out.

im learning that i can actually cook, decently.

....every sunday my sister comes over to watch walking dead,

one makes dinner + the other dessert, the next week we switch.

ive been getting pretty good + less frustrated when it comes time for me to be in the kitchen.

its a nice change.

im enjoying church more, making more of an effort to get ready + pay attention.

which means something when church is at nine am.

my organizing skills are getting better + turning out to be theraputic.

+ i was born to be a couponer. there is something thrilling about literally watching your grocery bill be cut in half. the time spent is totally worth it. who knew.

this new life of ours is suiting me quite well + im sure its only going to get better!
