House Pictures

We finally got the house painted! It took a little over a year but the with the siding done we were ready to go! The gutters come in about a month and then we will be done with the outside of the house. We still love our house and a so happy that we made the move from Kerman - the challenge now is trying to balance working on the house with spending time with Logan! We are getting better and just making Logan be outside in the stroller while we work on our many home improvement projects!

This is the Front of the House.
This is the back of the house.



This is the deck off our the master bedroom. Happy days!! You can see Chill in the pictures - he loves the new house too!

What I miss the MOST

I am alright with the post baby body, the fact that I don't get much sleep anymore and that my shower is like 30 seconds long but what I miss the most is getting things done. Who would have thought that it would take me ALL DAY to finish collecting the trash and getting it to the dumpster or that unloading the dish washer would take 3 hours or that the vacuum could sit in the hall way for a day and I still didn't get it done. Who would have thought it - well anyone who has kids. The simplest of tasks takes hours and days to complete. Andrew and I wonder if we will ever get projects done at the house again. Like the post beofre this, it took me almost an hour to get it up.

Another thing that I miss terribly is reading - i will figure out how to have a Logan and enjoy a good book - I am determined to!

Sorry!

Sorry it has been a while - here are some new pictures of Logan. We went to the doctor last week and he now weighs 11lbs7oz, is 23 1/2 inches long and doing very well. If we could only get the sleeping and nap time down it we would be loving life.

This is Logan hanging out on Aunt Betty's blanket -he loves it!

Logan with his favorite friend! Chill loves his little guy.

Uncle Marc teaching Logan about women's softball -

Grandpa and Logan - they are checking each other out - sizing each other up.

WOW!

Opps! It has almost been a month since our last post -sorry! We have been crazy busy with guests and I have been working a little. Everyone is doing GREAT! Logan is growing and goes to the doctor Wednesday. I will post new pictures tomorrow!

Our First Night Out

Friday night we met a group of friends and went out to dinner, it was our first group outing since Logan. We met Eric & Erin with their kids Robert (almost 2) and Bryce (13 weeks), Jeff & Lindsay and Dusty. As we walked into the restaurant with 2 car seats, a toddler and husbands ready to have a good time I started to question what we were doing but it all turned out great! I got a fantastic meal (we went to Basque food - yum) and Logan was a perfect angle sleeping all through dinner. Baby Bryce was not as happy and Erin had to spend most of her time walking with him which made Robert unhappy because his mom was gone! I decided that 2 kids might be too much work for me! AHH! One is hard enough right now. The best part of dinner was that people kept coming up to see the babies and asking if they were twins - oh sure the 18lb Bryce and the 8lb Logan are twins. Jeff had the best comment when people said this - yeah its just like the move twins - Bryce is Arnold and Logan is Danny Divito! So our first night out with a kid was successful!!

Logan's First Play Date

Logan had his first play date with someone other than Chill last Friday! The picture below is his exciting day. We went over to Eric & Erin's house to hang out and the result was cute! Robert (almost 2) was the entertainment and played with the babies while Bryce (13 weeks) and Logan just slept! it was cute! You will notice that Bryce is at least twice as big as Logan - it was weird to hold him after Logan - I can't wait for Logan to get that big and not be so fragile.

A new found respect

So three weeks in to it and this being my first week ALONE! I have a new deep respect for every mom out there! This is by far the toughest thing I have ever done and am only into it three weeks! AHHH! But seriously moms have a tough job - you have to try to figure out what this little Buddha looking guy wants by his grunts and cries. I can't even figure out what I want for myself most of the time let alone some other guy. Take today for example we have been home all day working on stuff at the house (you know dishes, laundry, dirty floors, attempting to take shower) and Logan is MISERABLE - will not stop crying and wants to nurse every 10 minutes. So after a good 2 hours of this I thought I would call Andrew just to let him know how fun my day was going and how big my headache was at this point. Thank God for husbands he just kept telling me it would be alright and to call my mom or his mom - WOW didn't think of that! next call to my mom to which she reminds me that Logan likes loud noises and to go and finally blow dry my hair. Okay at this point I will try anything - Logan loved the noise and relaxed. never would have guessed it! See how mom's know it all - again my new found respect for all moms. You are all awesome! So now I just need a travel blow dryer for Logan - the scary thing is that
I hope he does not grow up to be a hair dresser.

We took this picture last night when Logan was sleeping - i like this look much better then the red faced pissed one I've had all day! I think me looks like Buddha in this picture!
