Weekend away

This past weekend I had the opportunity to go to a women's retreat with my Sunday group. I had a great time hanging out with my friends and spending some quality time with Logan! Logan was great for me all weekend long. He slept well at night and made hardly any noise during the teaching sessions. The older women who were there just adored him! He is so smiley now and that just makes him even more cute to me! Here is a picture of him today at about 2 1/2 months old.

Two months old & a trip to Wisconsin

Today Logan is two months old. Wow it has gone by fast. We are really starting to notice him changing in the past week. He is finally awake for a bit longer and he is a lot more alert and focused. He is smiling a lot now and got a lot of attention on our weekend trip to Wisconsin.

You may be wondering why we took a weekend trip to Wisconsin considering it is about 11 hours away from here?? Well unfortunately our car needed to pass an emissions test there and this was the only weekend we could do it. We had Monday off from school because it was Canadian Thanksgiving.

We left right after classes on Friday and got to Wisconsin at 12:30 a.m. It was a long drive, but it went well and the boys were very good. We spent the weekend at our dear friends the Williams' house. They were gracious to host us for two nights! We had a great time there just enjoying their company. Rylan and Carsten had a great time playing with old friends. On Sunday we visited our group there and had lunch afterward. Then we got back in the car and headed to Michigan. We spent one night in a hotel and did some shopping on Monday and then ended up back home at 8 p.m. Wow a whirlwind to say the least, but overall it was fun!

Big brother-baby brother

Rylan loves to hold Logan and asks me if he can all the time! It is cute to watch him talk to Logan and be so gentle with him. He hugs him and kisses him until Logan starts crying, indicating that he is done with all the love!

Time flies

It is hard to believe that Logan will be 7 weeks old tomorrow. Time sure goes by fast. We are busy with classes and day to day life. The boys are keeping us on our toes as parents as well. We are starting to really enjoy all three boys together now that we are getting into a good routine. The boys are both excelling in their classes which is so nice for us!

Best friends

Today Rylan had his friend Elyse over to play. Elyse is from Australia and lives two doors over from us. They are both 3 and are the best of friends! They each made a fall tree craft today as you can see in the picture. It was a lot of fun collecting the items outside and then putting it all together in the house. It is fun to watch the two of them talk and play with each other. Especially when Rylan tries to imitate Elyse's Australian accent!

Happy Birthday Grandma!

We love and miss you and hope you have a wonderful birthday! The boys each colored their own picture for you...they were very proud to show you their creations!
