Sky standing

Sky is now lifting herself up to stand. Most of the time, she needs help getting into a standing position, but once she's there, she stays up by herself. It makes her so happy to be able to do this!

Catching Up

Sawyer, Sky, and setting up a new home has kept me unbelievably busy these past few months. As a result, I have fallen way behind in posting.

Back in October, Sawyer wanted to be a cowboy again for Halloween. So, we dressed him up in his Daddy's old costume. Here he is at his preschool's Halloween parade/party. Sawyer's best friends are Matteo (chef costume) and Nate (Pikachu costume). The teachers refer to them as the 3 musketeers. It's so cute how they are 4-5 years old and are as thick as thieves.

In November, right before Thanksgiving, Sawyer's school had Heritage Night. The kids sang, "It's a Small World" on stage. 

We spent Thanksgiving with the Grandparents. This was the 1st Thanksgiving we've ever spent with them. I love that we can now spend all holidays with family. Instead of having to get on a plane, we are now just a 2 hour drive away from Cliff's parents.

Cliff took the train to Philadelphia for work in November. Here is Sawyer picking his Dad up at the train station. It was his first time seeing a real train up close in action.

In early December, Sawyer was in his school's Christmas Special. There were so many kids there, it was impossible to get them all into one frame. Unfortunately, my pictures that night didn't turn out so well. I only have a few to share.

I was hoping to take a really nice picture of the kids for our Christmas card this year, but my attempt failed miserably. This pretty much sums up how things went:

I did manage to get a couple of good ones.

We got Sawyer an awesome play kitchen for Christmas. I adore this kitchen! We spent Christmas Eve at home.

We spent Christmas day at the Grandparents.

 

Then, rang in the new year with a few good friends.
