Sawyer James FAQ: How did you pick his name?

Stephan and I had a list of boys' names ready, but our favorite was always Sawyer James. James was easy, since it's my dad and brother's name. Sawyer was a name that Stephan came up with while on a solo camping trip. As he was driving from Billings to Yellowstone National Forest he saw a sign advertising Sawyer, Montana. He jotted that name down next to the others, and it turned out to be our favorite.

Sawyer, Montana was a stagecoach stop many years ago. It doesn't exist as a town now, so it's a little difficult to find much information about it. But that's the story!

Overheard: "Does this mean we're new parents?"

Him: What do they call the first page of a fax?

Me: What do you mean?

Him: A cover letter? Cover page?

Me: Oh, it's a .... cover... uh... page? Not a cover letter...

Day 4 & 5 Photos

So that whole rant I wrote a few weeks ago about this not being a "Mommy Blog"... ? Yeah. Just ignore that. Here are more photos. Caption them as you see fit.

Day 1 Photos

Incredible as it may seem, these are the only photos I took the first day... the nurses took a few that involve a word that rhymes with 'tipple' so I'm NOT publishing those. Insert your own cute captions after every photo. I'm going back to snuggle.
