So much to post, so little time!
Here's the last two and a half weeks in a snapshot:
Smiles - Sawyer can smile now! And has been for a few weeks, it is amazing the joy she brings when she busts out the gummy smile. They are pretty easy to get out of her, although I find myself making some great faces to get her to keep it up.

Me trying to get her to smile more:
Next up is that mom went back to work..back to the grind. Tough transition to be honest. The first few days were just training, so not as tiring. We are so thankful that we have family and friends willing to babysit for a few days a month. We have care figured out until January and then when I go back to work full time, we have to figure something else out. But it felt okay to leave her with someone I know rather than a total stranger. School actually starting was a whole different issue! Talk about exhaustion...I forget every year how tough the first few weeks are with kindergarteners. As my prinicipal said, "It's just like child birth, if you remembered, you would never do it again!" Agreed :) Ask me again in 6 weeks how it is going...
Helping in mommy's classroom...okay sleeping in mommy's classroom.
First trip to the cabin!
Sawyer made her first trip up to the cabin for Labor Day weekend. Dad went crabbing, Sawyer napped, Mom helped with wedding crafts, Sawyer napped, we all celebrated Papa's birthday, Sawyer wore her party dress, and then napped, mom and dad went for a bike ride, we all went to the ice cream stand, Sawyer napped... it was a true cabin trip and we all can't wait to go again soon.

In her party dress for Papa's birthday.
Napping while everyone else eats ice cream cones as big as her head :)
Toasting (and eating) some giant s'mores.
The end of a great weekend!
