The Skarin Family Blog

More fun in the tub for the Skarin boys! Photo slideshow from the original blog. The slideshow service (Picasa/Flash) has been discontinued, so these photos can no longer be displayed here.

After spending 5 straight days with just Daddy, you may think that Evan got enough “daddy time”.  Quite the contrary!  This little guy absolutely adores his daddy and follows him EVERYWHERE he goes! This weekend was filled with daddy time…fixing, forts and lots of fun! Photo slideshow from the original blog. The slideshow service (Picasa/Flash) has been discontinued, so these...

We started spoon feeding Logan at the beginning of December.  After numerous attempts, where he just kept pushing it out of his mouth and not really opening up, we stopped.  A few weeks later, we tried again.  Same results.  So here we go again…third time’s the charm, right? Are we really doing this again? Are you crazy? Ok, fine, I'll...

You may remember this picture of Evan from this blog post. Well now it's Logan's turn.  Not quite as much hair (or baby chub) but still awfully cute!

With each new stage comes new challenges and new rewards.  Now that Logan is sitting up (mostly unassisted) and playing more, he and Evan have been having more fun together.  Evan has been requesting to have Logan play with him in a particular room or with a certain toy.  Just in the last two days, Evan has requested that Logan...

Happy Valentine's from my little Love Bugs!! A little note about the love bug project.  I saw these at Michael's and thought it would be a fun little project to do with Evan and to send to a few special people for Valentine's day.  He was excited about it when we first started and Evan put the hearts on the...

I have three wonderful Valentine’s…not just today but everyday!  We had a fun Valentine’s day with music class at Gymboree, a special after lunch treat, a little Valentine’s Day gift from mom and takeout Chinese food for Mom and Dad after the boys were in bed.  A bit different than fancy wining and dining but I wouldn’t change it for...

Today was a wonderful day!  Evan, Logan and I finally made it out to see Jackie, Evalyn and Genevieve.  We had been planning this play date since the beginning of December but due to busy schedules, the holidays, illness and my trip to Florida, we kept having to reschedule.  Today we finally made it and had a wonderful visit, complete...

The next visit to the snow cave was a lot more fun. Evan helped to dig it out further and give us a bit more room inside. Both boys continued to be at their best until the final day when Logan decided to grab the bottle as I was making it first thing in the morning. The result was a...

With Logan’s run-in pink eye we missed his six month photo shoot, but now that it was all cleared up we started the day with some fun shots on the couch. Then after a picnic breakfast, we headed outside to see what Nemo had dumped on us. It was quite impressive to say the least. Evan had fun trying to...
