BUT......

Barbara and Randy had committments today.....
and um....it just happens to be MY day off, thus, I got to spend the day with Sawyer! 
How thankful I am!!!!!!
 {picture taken by Sawyer ~ pretty awesome isn't it!}

Sawyer and I have had SO much fun ~
hanging out together.

We played out in the front yard ~ took a walk ~
were on the "look out" for the "resident chipmunk" by our front step,
played with the water in the kitchen sink (tradition set up by Alden's mom with our kids!), &
"practiced Skyping" so when Mom and Dad call we're all SET!

Had lunch at McDonald's ~
played trucks and bubbles in the sunroom.

Tucked in his little bag ~ was this sweet book.
Courtney had told me about it, but oh my there it was!
Courtney recorded herself reading this book ~
Sawyer's favorite. 
Oh my ~ precious.

Barbara, Sawyer and I
(when Barbara came to pick Sawyer up!)
The grandmas!

Alden got home just as Sawyer was leaving ~
they had a GREAT fun time for a few minutes.  :)
What a fun day it has been for Sawyer and I ~
truly a blessing for this Grandma!

Dorian, I am so enjoying all the news from here and Africa. You must be so overwhelmed with it all. Skyping - how neat is that! Share whatever you can with us.

Much love to you.

So glad that Sawyer is doing so well...I know that brings comfort to Court while she deals with so much else. Hmm...should I be praying anything special for you? I'm going to follow the other commenter and pray for your health, hoping that there is no reason that I need to. Can't wait to see you at the airport!
