Sawyer's alligator story

This morning Sawyer colored this picture and then told us a story about her.

Here is his story:
"Once upon a time there was an alligator named Charlotte, like Becca's big dog. She got sick, that's why she is purple. She was sick all day and she fell in a hole on her eggs.

Guess what happened next? Her eggs cracked and her baby alligators came out. Then, they rolled out of sight to their daddy who was exercising. Then, they went to alligator Clarke's house and they went on an adventure and fell in the water and swimmed around. And THAT's why they're alligators."

Saturday morning

Shhh... He doesn't know he is learning.

It's a boy!

This week we learned that we're having another sweet boy! We're thrilled about this news! We have everything boy already and we can't wait to meet him. Sawyer would like to name him Ding Dong. Chris told him we'd consider it as a middle name.

Perot Museum of Nature and Science

We were lucky enough to get an advance preview of the Perot Museum this weekend through friends. Sawyer loved it and hasn't stopped talking about it. His favorite things were the frog statues outside which glow at night and a race track where he raced a cheetah. After leaving the museum he started exaggerating his cheetah race quite a bit and saying that he won the race.

We are really lucky to have this museum here and are planning on joining and visiting often.

Dinosaur Valley Camping Trip

We had a great time camping with friends, old and new, in Dinosaur Valley. It's our last camping trip of 2012. Sawyer had a great time and was asking to go back on the drive home.

12 Weeks

We're very happy to announce that we are 12 weeks pregnant.

We've been waiting for this for a very long time and we're incredibly excited.

I started showing very early with this pregnancy. It's a symptom of a medication I've been on and I hear it's very typical of second pregnancies.

Sawyer has been wondering if he's pregnant too.

But he's really incredibly excited. He was especially excited when we told him the baby would eventually share his room. We told him that if the baby cried during the night he could tell it to "shhh." He's asked us to repeat this several times. I think he's very ready to finally tell someone else what to do.

Eisenhower State Park

We had such a great time camping this weekend. It was chilly, but with great friends and a warm fire we hardly noticed. Sawyer had a great time, and we can't wait to go camping again in two weeks.

Sawyer's dream

I took this picture as Sawyer told me about his dream last night... Except he doesn't know it was a dream he thinks this happened.

"all the birds flew off of my pillow and around my room, onto the curtains and into the stars. One of the birds looked like daddy. Did y'know orca whales don't like birds?"

Sawyer's art work

This month at sawyer's school art class he is learning about self portraits. I love this self portrait so much. He swears that at some point it had two eyes.
