Logan is seven months old today! (Actually 8 seeing as I am a month behind in posting!  But that can be our little secret.)  What’s new this month?  Logan is sitting up completely on his own and only falls over occasionally, usually when he reaches too far for something or when he turns around too far to see what Evan...

For the last few years, we have been participating in the St. Pat’s 5K road races in some capacity.  Sometimes both Bruce and I run, sometimes just Bruce (I was pregnant with Evan) and sometimes just me.  Today I ran the Celtic 5K in Pawtucket with my girlfriend, Nicole.  I thought I was just going to go, run and come...

It was a relatively quiet end of February…not much to report…just a bunch of cute photos to share.  Enjoy! Photo slideshow from the original blog. The slideshow service (Picasa/Flash) has been discontinued, so these photos can no longer be displayed here.

Dear Logan, My hope for you is that you will always be surrounded by great friends just as you are here! I love you! Love, Mommy

Yesterday we planned a trip back to Playtown Express with the Wheeler’s.  Everyone was healthy and everyone was free so it worked out.  It was a bit of a rough start but once the kids got settled in they all had a great time!  Evan and Madelyn had a great time “playing” the games, especially Dance Dance Revolution!

On Tuesday, Sean turned three!  Today we celebrated with a Jake and the Neverland Pirates themed party at Kidz Castle and some cousin time at Uncle Dan and Auntie Karin’s after the party.  Hard to believe that it has already been three years and that Evan will be three in less than three months!  Where does the time go?

Even though I’m not currently teaching, school vacation weeks are still some of our busiest weeks.  I have quite a few friends who are teachers that we don’t get to see when school is in session.  This week we got together for play dates at our house with Emily and Annalia and with Jenna and Isabelle.  It was fun to...

Logan has a new trick/skill.  He is very proud of himself when he does it and the doctor said that clapping is more of a 9 month skill.  He’s ahead of the curve already!  Must be because he has such a good big brother to teach him all sorts of things. Big boy clapping

I left for Florida on the day that Logan turned 6 months old.  He was all smiles when we woke him up to go to the airport but later that day, after a trip to the pediatrician, we found out that he had pink eye.  Poor little guy!  Thankfully, he kept this pink eye to himself and miraculously only one...

For quite a few weeks, Logan has been drooling and drooling and drooling.  So much so that we keep thinking he must be getting teeth.  But as usual, he keeps us guessing.  Still no teeth but we gave him a few puffs anyway.  He wasn’t sure what to do with them and didn’t quite like the texture but soon I’m...
