Acrobat in the making?

Wow, our life has sure been crazy lately! We have been go go go for the last month and I am just starting to feel that our whirlwind of a life is finally starting to calm down a bit. Whew! We have been to ballgame after ballgame, work function after work function, and weekend activity after weekend activity. We are so blessed to have so many things to keep us busy! But we are ready for some "down time." We are excited to have some time with family this weekend. We are headed to Silver Dollar City tomorrow with Barbara and Doug and it will be great weather and a super fun day (I hope!)!! I think Sawyer will love it. We haven't been since the Christmas after he was born!

The Pirates are now 2 and 3 with the hopes of knocking off Ozark tonight at Homecoming. It should be a fun game and a fun atmosphere at Pirate stadium. :)

Let me tell you my funny Sawyer story of the week...
The other day when we came home Sawyer decided to show us his newest skill, doing somersaults!! He was rolling from one end of the couch to the other. I don't know who taught him to do this, but I am guessing it might be his rolling cousin Kloey! The next night he came to me at 8:00 (30 minutes before bedtime) and he said, "I go to bed." I said, "You want to go to bed now?" He said, "yes." So we went to his bed, read a book, and he curled up and closed his eyes. I was amazed!! Later that night after posting something about it on facebook I learned from his teacher that the reason he was so tired is because he spent his naptime rolling somersaults on his cot instead of sleeping. Ha ha! She said it was so cute she couldn't get on to him, she just told him to roll quietly, and he did! Oh that kid, I LOVE him so! Maybe gymnastics is in his future?

I find myself, probably like most moms, dreaming and wondering what Sawyer might do with his life? Is he going to grow up and become a quarterback of the football team, be in choir or drama club, be super smart or just average intelligence? I am not worried about his future or what he will do, I am just curious and anxious to find out. (not TOO anxious though, I DO NOT want him to grow up) All I can do is hope and pray daily that he grows to be a strong man of God and that he is a leader among his peers, his coworkers, and his future wife and family. Wow, I can't believe I am already praying for his future wife and family!? I guess it is never too early to start.

Well, that is what is on my mind today. I hope you are enjoying this beautiful fall weather as much as we are!! :)
