So I realize that I have failed to post in a long time, but with the holidays, school and a new baby I have just been way too busy. I am sure you all know that little Sawyer arrived in October--the 26th to be exact at 8:04 pm after fourteen hours of labor. He was six pounds eight ounces and has been a joy from the start. He really is a good-natured baby. He has been laughing and smiling since he was about a month old and he started sleeping through the night a couple weeks ago. We love him so much and are thankful for the joy that he brings into our lives.
The holidays were great this year. It is always nice to have the family together. We opened presents Christmas morning and then had a delicious breakfast cooked by the men in the family. We also had our annual cookie cook-off. I was sure that I was going to win for the third year in a row with my delicious somoa cookies but I was beaten by a non-Leavitt--no hard feelings Danna!! That same night the girls also rocked the boys world in the traditional trivial pursuit match. It was also nice to be able to relax and catch up on sleep as all of the aunts were fighting over who got to hold Sawyer:) Over new year's weekend we also had Sawyer's baby blessing. It was beautiful and again nice to see all of our family.
I had to return to work last week after a ten week break. It was extremely hard--especially to leave my baby. But grandma Leavitt is watching him so that makes it easier. I also start school again in a week. I have three more classes to get my Masters so I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I can't wait to be done and see where life takes us after that. Tate is busy also. He will finish his Masters in Bilingual Education this summer.
Well I had every intention of posting pictures when I started typing this post but now I am just too tired. Pictures to come soon I promise!!!
