More Sawyers in Town!

Blake's brother Brad, sister in law Shea and nephew Graham came to house hunt. They moved in this past weekend! We are so excited to have them so close. Annalee and Graham will have so much fun playing together!

We took out the cousins for a walk...they barely made it a mile before nodding off in the Texas heat.

New shoes!!

Time for a Road Trip

Annalee and I traveled to Lucas, Texas to visit some old friends from Laity Lodge Youth Camp. Blake was sad to see us go! 
Annalee's head is ALMOST big enough to wear her summer hat on the trip.
Found a new set of fingers to keep her busy on the long drive.
Annalee with her new friends, Clara Beth and William.
Clara Beth was the biggest helper. She hardly ever left Annalee's side. We already miss you Clara Beth!!!
William shared his excersaucer with Annalee...we need to get one of these!

Getting to know Austin again...

For Father's Day we attended the Hyde Park Tour of Homes. It was VERY hot but the houses were beautiful and they gave us lots of remodeling ideas. 


Blake raided every lemonade stand and mingled with the home owners. 

Annalee gave Blake a silver pocket knife with her name engraved on it. 
After Father's  Day weekend Brett, Tanessa, Kinsley and Kiera came to visit. Cousins Keira and Annalee played together. 

Annalee is enjoying her car seat SO much more than the early days. We can even get her to force a smile every now and then!
Off to church!

Blake's favorite thing to do on the weekend is coffee with Annalee on his lap! Many Austin memories to come!

Home Sweet Austin

Robin is loaded up in the car and ready for the final stop: HOME.
Annalee is buckled in and happy to be getting home to her new room.
The day after we got home Annalee turned 3 months old!
Annalee's 3 month birthday happened to be the same day as Blake's birthday! Happy Birthday Blake!
Robin and Annalee have become very good friends...if only Robin could avoid the wet licks on Annalee's face. 
Annalee is playing more and more in her floor gym. She started rolling around...it wears her out!
Our good friend Sarah Porter came to meet Annalee and join us for supper. 
Mini push-ups....
We spent Father's Day weekend at the Hyde Park Home's Tour....it was SO HOT!

Blake and Annalee on Father's Day!
We are so happy to be home in Austin...now the fun really begins!

Tour of Texas

We arrived in College Station and left a couple of days later for Paris, Texas so Annalee could meet her Great Grandmother, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. 
Cousin Robert with Annalee. 
Napping on Grandmother Norma's bed. 
After Paris, we headed to Dallas to meet up with Blake's family. 
Annalee finally started liking floor time...thanks to her cousin Graham. 

Grammy found a hat that fits Annalee perfectly! 
Papa has the magic touch...he could always sing Annalee to sleep.
Mimi had her hands full with 4 Grandbabies!
We headed back to College Station so Annalee could meet her Aunt Terri!
Next stop....HOME IN AUSTIN!!!

Sad Goodbye to Florida

One of my best friends Tiffany came to visit during our last couple of weeks in Florida. 
Happy First Mother's Day. We went to El Siboney for lunch and then fished at a friend's dock.
This is Annalee after her first round of shots. I am so thankful my friend Tiffany was with us. Her hamhocks were sooooo sore. 
When the packers and movers came Annalee and I hung out by the pool almost all day. She loved basking and napping in the sun. 
Our first night on the road...so far so good!
We stopped at one of our favorite places before we left the last island in the Keys....we will miss this place!
After packing, moving, cleaning and driving we headed to a resort in Miami to relax together before heading to Captiva Island for a family vacation. 
Goodnight Key Lime Pie, Goodnight Parrot Heads, Goodnight Conch Shells...Goodnight Key West!
