Photo Gallery Temporarily Unavailable

There appears to be a problem with our Cox Business account at home so our web server is temporarily available. This gave me a good excuse to start moving our websites over to our new server at Dreamhost.com. It may be Wed night or sometime Thurs before I can get the massive 4800+ photo gallery moved from our server at home to Dreamhost.com. We will keep you posted.

No! We have not fallen off the face of the earth!

No! We have not fallen off the face of the earth! We were spending time with Hank's parents in Orange Park while he was in Vegas for Defcon(a computer hacking conference) where he and his team competed and won first place in the Capture the Flag Hacking contest. Go to his site for more details www.johnhsawyer.com He was even interviewed by the media and he and his team are now in several newspaper and print articles. Here is one from The Alligator.

We are home now for two weeks, then off to COlorado and New Mexico for three weeks. CAn you believe all the drama with the airports now. BOy is it going to be frustrating taking no fluids with a 14 month old and a newborn. And we were planning on going only about 40 minutes early so we did not have to worry about Gabi getting to antsy, but now they are requiring us to go 2 hours ahead of time....arggghhh....and my husband is not going...I must be out of my mind!!!!!!! Luckily, my Mom will be with me to help out. But I am so looking forward to seeing our family that I am sure it will be worth it in the long run.

Gabi & Kennedy are doing fine. Click Here for updated pictures of them in August! Gabi is getting bigger and loves toexplore and play independently(which is a BIG help to me). Kennedy
still gets the jitters every day, but it is usually only once or twice a day. His hearing exam at Shands went GREAT!!! He passed the second test, only after failing the first test where they used a different apparatus in his ear. The doctor said that we don't need to do any further testing...YEAH!!!

I, on the other hand must have a grey cloud floating above me. We went from nausea & vomitting to hurting my shoulder. I did go to my doctor when I was still in pain two days later and found out that I have a torn or partial torn rotator cuff. And Boy does it hurt. SO now I have to go see a shoulder specialist. I have to say that for someone who typically likes going to the doctor, I am growing very weary of the many trips to see the doctor.

Well, off to feed the baby!

Love & Hugs,
~Sarah

Gabi goes mobile!

It was inevitable. We knew it would happen. We just didn't know what it would be like when we first saw it happen. I never thought I would say, "Thankfully, Sarah was feeling really sick, so I stayed home to help with Gabi that morning." Well, I am saying that now because if she wasn't feeling so terrible, I wouldn't have been home to witness Gabi crawling for the first time. She has gone backwards before which doesn't count. This had full forward momentum. It was very cool to witness. Sarah was thrilled that she didn't have to call me at the office to tell me what I missed. It was wonderful. We both had a few little tears together.

We have taken quite a few pictures of Gabi all over the place, playing with friends and eating. That's it for now.

Valentine's Party at the Moyer's

Well, Gabi went to her first Valentine's Party! We had a great time with all the other Moms, Dads, and Babies! Check out the Pictures here!

More fun pictures of Gabi coming soon! By the way, Gabi is still not crawling yet, but she is up on all fours and I am sure she will be following us around the house anyday!

(Daddy's Note: This is a pretty good first post. Sarah and I think this was an attempt to thank everyone for her fantastic Christmas gifts. I am going to be removing some important keys from a USB keyboard so she can post easier in the future. Those annoying ALT keys kept messing her up. More to come, stay tuned! Bath time.)

Hi DAD!!!

Hi Dad & Barb, Boots & Scooter!!! How is Georgia??? I bet the mountains are beautiful!! It was wonderful seeing you at Nana & Papa's, too bad it was not a longer visit. We are thinking of you all! MerryChristmas Gramps & Grannie!! Here are some pics from our Screven visit!

Love, Sarah, Hank & Gabi xoxoxo

YES! That's right......WE ARE

Yes, that's right we are pregnant, AGAIN!!! I know some of you thought that we casually threw that information out in our letter, so just to confirm for those of you still questioning...YES, We are pregnant! Gabi is going to be a big sister 12 months after she was born. We are very excited and are glad that they will be so close together. We are really looking forward to this Christmas, since it is Gabi's first and only Christmas alone with us since we will have two next year at this time. WE love and appreciate all of you! Have a wonderful holiday break! Drive safely and eat merry!

Much Love,
Sarah, Hank & Gabi

2005- Year in Review

2005 – The Sawyer Family: Year in Review!

Looking back at 2005, it is hard to remember exactly all that we have done because there was SO MUCH! To top all our activities, Sarah was pregnant for about 8 of those months which you all know was hard on all of us.

Sarah had her hands full during her pregnancy during the first half of the year. She was lucky enough to be one of the very small percentage of women that suffer from 9 months of morning sickness. Sarah was a tough woman through the whole experience. It was certainly tough on Hank watching her go through it without being able to help her. The experience was worth it because we ended up with a gorgeous baby girl.

Sarah and Hank went on their official honeymoon trip to Maui, Hawaii in March, compliments of Rob and Mom. It was absolutely fantastic! We spent 7 days on Kanapali Beach at the Marriot resort where we spent most of our time in the water. The pool and beach area was beautiful. We ate delicious meals at nearby restaurants, went snorkeling, diving off a small lava cliff, shopping, swimming, reading, and simply enjoyed spending quality time having fun with each other. Our tans were nice and dark when it was time to come home.

On June 2, we were blessed with Gabriella Skye (Gabi). She was 6lbs 3oz and about 19 inches long. Sarah’s water broke at 1:20am and Gabi was born at 2:50pm. Labor wasn’t too bad for Sarah and the delivery was within about 10 minutes after Gabi began to crown. Sarah’s parents, Hank’s mom and our friend Marshall were there to provide support. We appreciate all of their help!

Hank had a full year with a computer forensic class/certification in February and a new job at the University of Florida on the UF Security Team in August. He gave a presentation on computer incident response at the FAEDS annual conference in September. In October and November, Hank DJed for a haunted house and his brother Kyle’s 16^th birthday party. In addition to spending as much time as he can with Sarah and Gabi, he wrote 7 product reviews for Network Computing and Security Enterprise magazines.

As you probably already know, Sarah and Hank don’t spend much time at home. Most weekends are spent traveling to visit family throughout Florida. In July, we spent several days at the Marriot resort in Orlando soaking up sun and taking care of our new daughter while visiting with family. September found us in Hilton Head for Labor Day. We stayed with Ray and Margaret in their cute house and spent the days at the Marriot chilling next to the pool with the family. Sarah’s Mary Kay business took us to Greenville, NC in October where we stayed downtown in the beautiful Westin Poinsett hotel. Sarah’s time was spent in training and Hank spent his days walking the downtown area with Gabi in the Baby Bjorn.

December finds us visiting family every weekend in Florida and Georgia. Gabi is doing great at 25in and 16lbs. Click here for some new pics. She has been learning more about her voice and hands. Her favorite show is the Backyardigans and she is sitting up all by herself. Sarah is pregnant with Gabi’s baby brother or sister(NO, we are not going to find out the sex…we love surprises), and, unfortunately, feeling just as bad as she did with Gabi. Even with the tough pregnancy, she is hitting tons of goals and earning many rewards with Mary Kay. Hank is loving his new job, writing more magazine articles and playing every week in a softball league.

We thank all of you for your friendship and appreciate all you have done for us. Sarah, Hank and Gabi are looking forward to experiencing the birth of their newest family member in mid-2006.

With much love and many hugs,

Sarah, Hank & Gabi

Gabi & Iza

We get so excited just thinking about all the fun Iza & Gabi are going to have growing up together so close in age. They are already getting used to eachother, just look the way they hold hands, hit eachother in the head, and pull one another's hair...not that they can control their hands yet. Iza is still so long and Gabi is till so solid, I am sure they are going to be quite the pair! Stay tuned as we update you every few weeks!

What an amazing time!!!

On Friday, we traveled to South Carolina for the Burnside Area Fall Retreat with Mary Kay. It was so fabulous!! Not only was the training incredible, but Greenville was breathtaking! Ronda & Ken Burnside invited us to their gorgeous home in the Glassy Mountains! Wow! I included some of those pictures, but nothing beats being there and smelling and feeling the fresh mountain air on your face. Plus, there was a Fall Festival happening right outside our hotel with food, music and fun. I included the Mary Kay pictures along with our family pictures of the trip! Enjoy!!

Gabriella & Izabella

Who knew our babies would be so close in age and size??? Izabella(One month old) is Very Long, skinny, has a ton of hair and gorgeous blue eyes. Gabriella(almost 4 months old) is short, short, short, with huge brown eyes, long, long eye lashes, and gorgeous lips.. super cute! Iza & Gabi are both SO beautiful...check out their pictures from this week. Click Here and then hit the slideshow button.
