D-A-D Day in a Year...

For some reason lately I can not even GRASP how much our little man has changed in one year. I was looking through pictures (again) and came across part of Shawn's Father's Day gifts from last year...

And then the light bulb went off... Yes it was Saturday at 3:00 while Shawn was at a baseball game, literally hours before Father's Day started but you can't stop a great idea!!... The onesie was still in Logan's closet (it was really big last year!), I had crammed the letters in my craft section of the house, and the chair was in the garage. Now all I needed was a cooperating (rare these days) little man.. Check, check and CHECK... Seriously, he woke up from his nap in a fantastic mood. Throw in a little gel with a "pike".. One hour Walgreen's photo and BAM, a sweet new tradition!! Love it...

I smell a tradition coming on!!!

Where is my BABY?

I went back through my photos and found pictures of Logan on his three, First Days of School. Infant Room: October 2011, Toddler Room: August 2012, Two Year Old Room: June 2013. It makes my heart sad and happy at the same time. As I looked through the pictures I can see that he has grown up so much in the past two years. My baby is gone. But something that I also notice is that he has not lost that twinkle in his eye. He has always killed us with his personality. So outgoing and keeping everyone on their toes at all times. He loves life and makes us love every second of his. He has brought so much joy into our lives. Has he also made us question ourselves and question if we are doing the right things? ALL THE TIME. His vocabulary and wit sometimes scares us. I mean someday soon he will surely be outsmarting us, SCARY. We think we might have a hold on him, as all parents say "We've done it all". But goodness we are going to have to play tough and be ten steps ahead!! He is loved by everyone, seriously, I laugh all the time. Strangers will say oh my gosh he is so sweet and so well behaved. And I think back but didn't you see that melt down that lasted a couple of minutes. But then think really hard and heck that is well behaved, sitting on a plane for 45 minutes before take off, then for an hour and a half plane ride, ONE MELTDOWN... Man I don't give him enough credit sometimes! We love him sometimes and forget that although he is incredibly smart that he is NOT EVEN TWO yet!! Goodness... Stop growing buddy, we love you so much!!

Summer Adventures...

This is our first official summer that all three of us are on vacation!! We are so excited for the many adventures and activities that we are going to embark on. Our first one took place literally the day after mommy got done school. No, I'm serious I got done work at 2:30 on a Thursday. We were on an AAAAAAYYYYYYPANE high in da skyyyyyy at 12pm Friday! We wasted no time my little buddy! We surprised your three cousins in Maine for their dance recital weekend. Mommy was so excited to be able to be there with them because it had been so long since I was able to be a part of their fun times in life. I was also excited because I knew you were going to go nuts being with them and vise versa... And oh my gosh I was wrong. You were beyond nuts and they were beyond crazy with you. Especially Jenna... You two are going to cause major ruckus in life. I am not sure that I am prepared for any of those shenanigans! We had a fantastic weekend filled with laughter, love and tears. Seriously you threw some of the WORST tantrums you have ever thrown, like even through your sleep. The night of your REALLY bad one (that lasted one and a half hours)you would randomly wake up still sobbing saying, "Juicey, NOOOOOOOO, MILLLLLKY{".. Um yeah that is what you were freaking about, you couldn't decide which beverage you wanted! OYyy my boy. Any ways a part of my summer to do's is to update this as much as possible! Until the next adventure my little man!!
