7*24*07

So I feel I've been a little MIA in these parts lately. What little time I've taken with my camera these last couple of days it seems I've only been taking pictures of my food or my house. I need to refocus and take some real shots. And when I don't have "fun" stuff going on I need to get creative with the ordinary stuff.
Anyway, just thinking outloud... trying to get motivated here again.

Waiting for Daddy...

What a great Big Sister...Savannah likes to be the one to go up and let Sawyer out of his room when he wakes up in the morning or after nap. I listen to them on the baby monitor and it's pretty cute- "Good Morning Sawyer, did you have a good sleep? We missed you buddy!" in her best mommy voice.

Today they were up there for awhile after she went up to "let him out" (he can't open the bedroom door by himself), and when I went up there I found them on Sawyer's bed with a pile of books and Savannah reading to her little brother, "he wasn't ready to get up Mom... I thought he might want to snuggle and hear some stories first."
