The Boys

The last several weeks/months have been such a blur. Both of the boys are growing and changing so much that I can hardly keep up. They are getting to the point where they are playing together--which is adorable! This day, Graham was crawling onto this blanket and Logan was pulling him around the house. Graham LOVED it! He would crawl up the blanket as it was moving and just laugh and laugh.

Here they are playing blocks in our playroom. Even at 4, these wooden blocks are still one of Logan's favorite things to play with.



Graham is pulling up on everything! Everywhere!

Just cooking some dinner :)

First Day of Pre-k

Logan started pre-k this year! He is going to the same school (at our church) that he went to last year, has the same teachers and a lot of the same kids in his class. His teachers teach pre-k 3's on T/Th and pre-k 4's on M/W/F, so it works out great. We had several playdates with some boys from school over the summer, so he was looking forward to seeing everyone on the first day. This year, in addition to his music and computer classes, he'll also have Spanish.

Here he is at home before we left on the first day

10 Months Old

Just a quick post with some pictures to say HI!

My cousin got married over the weekend, so my Granddad is in town. Love him! SO MUCH! Here he is with Logan. Me and the boys (sporting my new short hair cut)


Family Picture



Mr Ten Month Old! I know that I say this every month, but wow. Seriously? Can someone please tell time to slow down? Please??



He LOVES avocado!


Sweet faceLogan saw us eating the avocado and got interested in the seed. So, we did some googling and decided to attempt to grow one! Here it is on day one. (And, these pictures are out of order, because this is Logan before his super short haircut in the earlier pictures.)

EDIT 8/8: I'm not sure what was up with this post. I added these pictures in on my iphone and then went back to add text on my lap top. For some reason, it kept eating my text and it wouldn't stick. Short version of the story was that our AC went out and we spent almost a week at my Mom's waiting for it to get repaired....I'll add in some picture descriptions really quick.

Shane and his boys at the top of our stairs. These gates are coming in VERY handy these days.

Teeth

So, I failed miserable at my whole "post a picture every day in July" thing.I'll just go back to blogging as often as I can....things are crazy around here these days! (Did I mention that they're crazy?!) Graham is crawling and he is EVERYWHERE. I leave him for 2 seconds, and he's crawled to the dog water and splashed the entire thing all over the walls/floor by the time I get back. He loves the dog bowls because they're stainless steel and make a loud noise when banging them on the tile. He is cutting TWO teeth, yet is still his happy self. Most nights, he's down to waking 2 times to eat at 12am and 4am, but we've had several nights of 2am parties. He's just awake. Not mad, but just awake. Shane and I have been tag teaming, and each rocking/shhshing/bouncing for about an hour at a time. Not sure what is going on with that, but it's exhausting. Maybe it's the teeth? Even though it's tough now, I just keep thinking about how incredibly fast these past 4 years have gone with Logan. I know that pretty soon, Graham will be 4 and wanting to do everything on his own. I'm going to celebrate this first year--sleepless nights and all!


Beyond that, business is awesome! I've been trying to find "regular" sewing hours and attempting to fit more balance in my life. 5 nights out of the week, I sew from 8-midnight (at least.) I rarely sew during the day when the boys are awake, unless it's Saturday morning when Shane is home. I'm over 150 sales on Etsy now--WOO HOO!--and just had my first international sale. I always said that I would consider my shop a success whenever I was averaging one sale per day, and I have been there for awhile now! Yay!


Graham playing with the dog bowls

Look at those teeth! (and drool!)I love this snapshot of Logan, but look how OLD he looks!!!

Booker

Ok, so I got a little discouraged with my mobile blogging because my pictures were turning out grainy! But, was coming up the stairs tonight and saw the same familiar sight that I see every night and wanted to share it with you.




That's Booker asleep against Graham's door. The boy's doors are right next to each other and he sleeps in this hallway. Here's both of the doors.


I always talk about Lucy, but Booker is such a great dog too. Here is a (not so great quality-wise) picture of him letting Graham play with his ears yesterday :)
