White Out

Well the forecasts were actually right for a change and we got dumped-on! Mommy is particularly excited because she's probably going to get a couple days off from work. We are enjoying being holed-up in our house (at least for now) and spending time together as a family. Aunt Caryn got to come over for the weekend too! Logan doesn't quite know what to think of the snow right now. We bundled her up and took her out in the snow for a few minutes yesterday. She didn't fuss, but you could tell she was kind of confused.

I guess after spending so much time in the house, Logan decided she actually wanted to try and walk behind her new push toys that she got for Christmas. Until yesterday she just punched the buttons and stared at them! I guess it won't be too long before she's walking on her own...my how time flies!

Our house covered in snow!

All bundled up! What are ya'll doing to me?

The Holidays

The holidays have come and gone so fast and it was such a blessing to spend our first Thanksgiving and Christmas with Logan! Of course she had no clue what was going on but she was a trooper and had no trouble picking up the family traditions...bowling, eating (a lot), shopping, watching lots of football, and of course watching pretty much every Christmas movie ever made...Home Alone, Home Alone II (we do not acknowledge Home Alone III much like we don't acknowledge Karate Kid III as being part of the trilogies), Christmas Story, Christmas Vacation, Polar Express, and Charlie Brown's Christmas just to name a few. We spent Thanksgiving in Nashville and then went to Birmingham for Christmas. Logan was a natural at opening her presents but was more interested in playing with/eating the wrapper and bow instead of the toys. Logan was blessed with lots of presents from Ward, Tilly, Gigi, Grumpy, and all her aunts and uncles.She also had a great time playing with her cousins!

Logan will be 11 months on the 25th...my how time flies! She's learning new tricks everyday and it's so fun to just watch her in action. She's crawling everywhere now, saying ma-ma and da-da (although she has no idea what it means), eating new foods, and her new favorite...clapping for herself after she takes a bite to eat. I guess our next post will be after her 1st birthday party!!!

Opening presents on Christmas Eve

Logan and Silly Uncle Samuel had a blast opening their presents. Samuel woke-up Ward and Tilly at 4:15am on Christmas morning to see what Papa Noel brought him! We are so blessed to have them both in our lives.

Wow, my first car!
