Again Like Mother, Like Daughter

Unfortunately, my poor Ella has inherited my ability to wake up with the craziest of hair!!!! Sorry Ella, you got mommy's bedhead gene!

Happy 3 months Logan!!!!

Our sweet baby boy is 3 months old today. I can hardly believe it....time has flown by. What a sweet, sweet baby this little guy is. He spends his days smiling, cooing, and now giggling!!!! He started to giggle for the first time yesterday and it is the cutest sound in the world!!!! He loves to kick his legs and wave his arms. He is grabbing at toys and he gets so excited when he gets one. Logan is a happy little guy and one thing is for certain ........ he LOVES his big sister!!!

check out his hair!!!

Big Girl.......

Ella's poopy face was the same even when she was 2 weeks old!

Ella has been in undies for almost a year BUT there was one catch......she would not poop in the potty.....no way. So, I (being the good mom) went out and bought a bribe...a tinkerbell dress. So, Ella saw it, wanted it, and pooped in the potty and then was done and asking for a pull-up again. That was months ago. I didn't want to force the issue. I have seen way too many kids her age in the hospital with constipation so I waited patiently AND 2 days ago, she decided to start going in the potty. Ella is SO very proud of herself and can't wait to tell everyone the news. Good job my big girl, mommy is so very proud of you. I LOVE YOU!

Scanning.......

My Christmas present from my parents was a photo scanner.....great gift.

I finally decided to open it up last night and give it a go.....well, it is a bit addicting. I was hard at work scanning away some photos from the good ole' high school days. I was posting them on facebook and laughing along with so many others at our choices of clothing, hair, etc..... It has been fun! I am also looking forward to scanning in lots of photos that I took before the digital age.....will be nice to be able to have a back-up of all of them!

A Relaxing Morning on the Couch

It has been a long time since these two could cuddle on the couch together because of all the 'sickness' so this morning was a long time coming. They sat happily watching t.v. together. Such sweet kids......I LOVE EM'!!!!!!!!!

So far......So good

2009 has started out quite well....... Everyone is starting to feel ALOT better. Logan is finally smiling more than coughing.....so much better!!! We spent New Year's morning taking down Christmas decorations and cleaning the house up a bit. Still need to find a home for some toys. We headed over to Suz and Pat's in the afternoon to join them, Papa (Grammie was home with a cold), and Renee and Kenny for dinner. We had a yummy dinner of BBQ chicken, salad, beans, and pies. Well, I heard it was yummy.....I couldn't taste a thing....so annoying.

The day was fun. Ella rode her bike, played with Jack, got an Auntie Suz bubble bath, and a nice long book was read to her by Uncle Pat. Logan spent the day smiling, kicking alot, and enjoyed being held.

Hippo gets a ride today....too cute. She is FAST on this thing!

Papa watches as she "gets ready"
