The New Back Yard

YAY LANDSCAPING!
Here's the big patio... now we just need some patio furniture...
... and from this corner you can kindof see the big area for the swing set & the finished walkway.

Cute Pictures of Logan

Stroller baby.
Um, yeah, seriously cute.
Indiana Logan.
Sumo Wrestler Style

Colorado Winter
Logan eats toast for the first time.


If you look closely, you can see four toothies. (He has 6 now, but you can see two top and two bottom in this picture)




AQUA-TOT







Here's our little swimmer...
We have a brand new Community Rec Center in Erie. It is literally a 10 minute walk from our front door and they have quite a neat indoor pool for kiddos. And, as auntie Jen, a self-proclaimed gym-rat can attest - they also have a great workout area. Now... if I could just get the motivation to consistently stop by the Rec Center gym - I might be able to keep my new super-skinny figure after I wean Logan!



Family Visits





Easter weekend brought more family! Grandpa Dave and Grandma Marissa came down from Arizona to hold their grandbaby. They brought Logan's uncle Joseph with them - an amazing artist that did a little painting while he was here for Logan's nursery.




Auntie Jen came for some spring skiing back in the beginning of March.
We had a very cold time in Breckenridge before spending a much warmer weekend back at our house. Logan went and got a virus while his auntie was here, and on top of teething - that made him a whiny little bear. Good thing auntie was here to help us take care of him!



Eric and I took the kiddo down South to visit his aunt Laura and uncle Brad back in February. He showed off his new crawling skills and his ability to sign 'milk' when he was hungry. Cute!

Meet Angela


Angela - a truly amazing nanny - joined our family two months ago. We are so blessed to have her watching our baby boy. She has spent the better part of the last two months taking Logan on outings all over our community - from AquaTot swim lessons (yes, swim lessons) - to Gymboree classes - to the Library - to the Park - you name a popular kiddo day outing and they've been there. With Logan's new mobility - as he is crawling everywhere he wants to go now - who can blame them for getting out and exploring this world? Anyway - we are so happy to have Angela around to help out with the little one while Brenna works in the study down the hall... it truly is the best of both worlds.
