Daddy Time

Much to my pleasure, Logan and his daddy have really started to be great buddies lately. Some days Logan can be such a momma's boy, especially now that those teeth are coming in at a pace of about one a week. But, there is nothing Logan loves more than reading time with daddy, even if they are each reading their own books. This is what I saw when I came down the stairs for church on Sunday... my two boys reading their own books, waiting for me so that we could leave.

And then, Jeff loves the snack pack puddings just as much, if not more than Logan does.
So, how do they make the best of the situation... share!!!
Logan knows if daddy has some pudding, so will he!

And daddy has also been one to add the bedtime snack to Logan's schedule. So, here is the nice chocolate face that came just after the bath that cleaned him up from dinner! Logan loves sharing a pudding or some Jello with anyone that is willing! Who can blame him?!?!


An update on the job for Jeff would probably be a nice thing to share as well. We love having him closer to home. He has made time now to work out before work at the gym on the company's property. I mean seriously, they even provide him with a locker and all the toiletries needed to get ready in the mornings! He has been in the door at 5:15 the last three days and the benefits package looks nicer every time we look at it! He will be working 9-80s which means he will be getting his 80 hours/2weeks done in 9 days instead of 10, allowing him to have every other Friday off as part of his regular work schedule. We are looking forward to some really nice three day weekends and I'm sure as the weather gets nicer, Jeff will be looking for tee times and golfing buddies on those Fridays! This is such a blessing in our lives and I know that Logan will really look forward to the evenings more now that he gets to spend lots more time with daddy. It's been so nice to be able to start dinner when Jeff's already home and can occupy the little guy! Thanks to all of you for your prayers and support through this. My how blessed we are!

Whooo Hooo!

Anadarko contacted Jeff today making him an offer for a position in the revenue department! We are so excited that Jeff will be closer to home, and we aren't complaining about the #s they offered either! This is such an answer to prayer and we want to thank everyone that has been thinking about us and praying about this situation. Patience has paid off! We are truly blessed and look forward to having more family time in the evenings now that Jeff won't be spending two hours of every day driving!

Handprint Mess

Below are some shots of our attempt to get Logan's handprint into a mold ornament. As you will see it was unsuccessful and we had to let the mold dry on it's own and now we'll have do a handprint on it in ink... It was a fun experience though!

Keep it flat buddy....

Oh, that feels different....

Ahhh.... he attempted to pick it up like it was mud or something.

Wiped it off to try again...

Yet again, he made a mess.

The pictures don't even begin to show all the fun. The table was a mess after about 7 or 8 tries and Logan was DONE when we finally gave in. Jeff tried really hard to help, but there was no use. He just wanted to play with it, totally not understanding what we were trying to accomplish.

Meeting our "Star" cousin

Last weekend I got to meet one of Jeff's cousins for the first time as she was in town for the holidays. We got together for a great lunch and she got to play for a few hours with Logan too. As we were talking she told us about the new commercial that she is in and just last week it started airing... now we see it all the time!!!
It's the new Verizon commercial and she plays the pregnant wife of the "Can you hear me now" guy... she is in labor in the cab with her mother and is on the phone showing how the signal works in the tunnel. It's a very funny one and we are very proud of her! Way to go Lena!! Below is a pic of us with her and her husband Matt.

Logan and Lena together!

He had tons of fun with all of her nephew's toys!

A Little Bit of the Christmas Fun

Well, Christmas was VERY exciting this year and VERY busy, and we sure did have a blast! Here is one of the many videos we took of Logan. He LOVED the piano that Grandma and Grandpa got him and when you ask him to go play you a song, he is very proud to do so. He is still learning the microphone, but we're sure he will develop into using all those additions very quickly... everything else has happened very quickly this last 15 months!!! He was very spoiled this year and I'll have to send out a photo album through email in order to give some insight on all the fun we had!
