"Drive-Thru"
This concept is usually most effective when customers visit a restaurant to pick up food; when the restaurant tries it upon delivery - notsomuch:
We had ordered lunch via delivery from a local sandwich shop. When the food arrived, the driver got out of his car and left it in gear...thus leaving it to roll - driverless -into our garage door.
Fortunately, Chris was able to maneuver our cars out of the 3rd stall. I'm impressed and we suspect it may have looked something like this:

We were able to get things settled with the driver and have gotten the garage door replaced (although the work presented some additional drama of its own).

One Month
Here's Sawyer a week or so ago at one month old. Time has been flying and our family is finding a new rhythm. The only challenge is that it changes daily, of course.
We've all had colds in the past few weeks, and Sawyer caught a mild one, too. Fortunately he is getting over it easily, but it looks like Wyatt might be setting us up for round two...
More pics coming soon!

Conversation with Wyatt
Wyatt: Mommy, my Rice Krispies are talking to me.
Me: Really? What are they saying?
Wyatt: Don't eat me.
Exchanges like this are priceless.

It’s a Boy!
Both mother and baby are doing very well. We’re all very excited to meet the newest member of our family!

Labor Day Approaches....
Yes, the official holiday has come and gone. And yes, autumn officially starts on Tuesday. But we're quickly approaching 'labor day' for baby #2, and I think we're as ready as we're going to get.
We had a pretty low-key summer (with perfect weather for late pregnancy!), but still fun. We got lots of projects checked off the to-do list around the house. We took a few roadtrips, had some fun outings in the metro area, went to the lake, had some picnics, and did other miscellaneous summer stuff (BBQ's, fireworks, farmer's market, etc.).
The most fun project completed was Wyatt's swingset. After a lot of work from daddy assembling, scrubbing, staining, and tweaking, it looks great and has gotten a lot of use. It's a hit when other kids visit, too.
Wyatt managed to take his first solo flight off of one of the swings, simultaneously giving Mommy and Daddy heart attacks and taking a rough face plant in the grass. Fortunately, he was fine, and a quick trip to the dentist proved that his teeth were, too. Oi.
Daddy had a great helper on other projects as well who put tools to use as often as possible:
Wyatt hit a major milestone this summer and has been potty trained for 3 months! He reminds us that, "when I was little, I used to wear diapers". Such a big boy, and honestly, we've enjoyed the brief break from diapers.
I think our favorite vacation treat this summer was a stay at a water park in Brainerd. Wyatt enjoyed it so much he wore his wrist band for three weeks afterwards (note it in the dentist photo, above), and still talks about going back.
In the meantime, we're spending as much time as we can outside and looking forward to going from "party of 3" to "party of 4".

Number Two
We were able to record the baby's heartbeat at our last appointment (last week). The ultrasound picture is from 20 weeks. We're currently at 29 weeks. Where is the time going?

Sittin' on the dock...
Last Friday I knocked off work a little early and picked up Wyatt. We went to the lake in the park near our house and sat on the dock for about a half hour. My favorite comment, "Daddy, there are lights in the water." Referring of course to the sun sparkling off the lake.
It was a wonderful time and I captured this picture (right) with my phone. :)
