Our Tradition!

One of our holiday traditions is to go look at lights while we sip on Starbucks. We went this past Saturday and Logan was excited to be included in the new tradition!! Look at that smile!

Christmas Pageant

Our school put on a Christmas pageant last week. My class was angels and shepherd's and Paige was a lamb. Here she is smiling in her costume!
Paige is in the hot pick sweats!

Here she is right before the show started in her spot.


Not wanting to wear her hat or sing in her pageant. I was so worried that she wouldn't do it but once her hat was off she sang most of the show!



Singing away!




Much better! It was a super cute show!! I loved being a part of it!

Jack's Birthday!

Last weekend we celebrated Paige's friend Jack's birthday! He has his party at the fire station and the kids got to learn about fire safety and sit in the trucks. Here is Paige and Jack in the truck.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

This year we decided that since Logan is so little and is eating so often that we would stay home and have a laid back Thanksgiving at our house just the four of us. Brad had to be at work at midnight also due to the Black Friday sale so he needed to get some rest during the day.
Yesterday Logan had his first bottle. Here is Daddy feeding him. I was afraid he wouldn't take it from me. I gave him one today though and he was fine. When I go back to work he will be on bottles for two times a day so back to pumping I go! (Since I only work a half-day he will be able to nurse the rest of the time)

I made mashed potatoes, zucchini, squash, rolls, green bean casserole, stuffing, and a small turkey breast!


Here is the breast roasting away. It all turned out yummy and we enjoyed it!


For dessert I made pumpkin spice cake. This is a fall favorite at our house. Brad and I had ours with some coffee so I could fuel Brad through his long work day!




Daddy and Paige at the table!





Logan and I at the table. Logan decided while we were eating that it was time to get fussy so I put him in the carrier so I could eat.






After dinner we played some Candyland with Paige. Brad went to bed for a couple hours and Paige and I watched Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving!








Logan on his First Thanksgiving. We told him next year he will join us in overeating!







Random Pictures!!

Logan swaddled like a burrito. He has slept better the last couple nights since I have truly swaddled him so maybe it does work. He has lasted a five hour stretch and then a three/four hour stretch.

1 month old!!

Yesterday was Logan's one month checkup. It's hard to believe that a month has gone by already! I was anxious to see how much weight he had gained since we haven't been to the doctor since he was two days old!
Weight: 9 pounds and 13 oz!! When we left hospital he was 7 pounds 3 ounces (50%)
Length: 21 1/2 inches (30%) He has grown 2 1/2 inches since we left the hospital

The doctor says that he looks like he enjoys his meals!! He likes to eat a lot and is still waking at night about 2.5 hours. He does last a 4 hour stretch once in a while. I have to admit that I am ready for him to be sleeping more like 5-6 hours at a time! I am glad he is growing so well and that he is healthy! Paige was always a peanut so it interesting to see him grow so fast. At 2 months Paige was only 10 pounds and 1 ounce. Logan is almost there already at 1!

For Uncle Jay and soon to be "Aunt Nicole"

Paige received a package in the mail this past weekend. It was a special gift from her Uncle Jay and soon to be "Aunt Nicole". They are getting married in May 2010 and want Paige to be the flower girl! They sent her this book and wrote a special message inside asking her to be the flower girl! It was such a cute idea. She was beyond thrilled and is so excited! Here is Paige with her book!

Paige wanted to send them a special message back!!

Happy Birthday!!

My little man on my birthday! Last Thursday was my birthday and we spent a quiet day at home. It was beautiful outside and we spent the day outside going for a walk and watching Paige ride her tricycle. Daddy and I snuck away for a while with Logan while Paige was at school to do some Christmas shopping!
My sweet girl on my birthday!! Riding her tricycle like a big girl.
