Time To Eat

Logan is a champ at eating "real" food these days. He especially likes puffs (the are little fruit flavored puffed rice things that disintegrate when they come in contact with saliva) and will stop fussing if you just shake the puff container. Some days I can't believe how big he is getting. Time really does fly!

Shoveling in the puffs.

A few weeks ago I decided to try an edible play dough recipe I heard about. It turned out okay, but when I told the children (daycare kids included) that they could eat it everyone stopped playing with it and just ate it. It was pretty tasty - kind of like the inside of peanut butter balls just not quite as sweet.

I know, I know - it looks like poop. Good Thing it didn't taste like it.

Trying Out Some New Camera Features

Here are a few pictures of the children that I thought were pretty cute.

Evening Walks

We have started to take short evening walks several times a week. It helps Sydney get some energy out before bed and it is nice to have a little family time together away from schoolwork, TV, telephones, and housework. We usually try to go after dinner when it has started to cool off a little bit. We decided to take our camera one night and here are some pics from our walk.

Our Street

There is a little park that we always pass on our short walks and we always have to stop for a few minutes. Here are the children at the park. Poor Logan normally just hangs out in is stroller, he actually doesn't seem to mind.

Swingin' and Slidin'

A few weeks ago my sister and her kids came for a visit. (Unfortunately all the pictures from that weekend got erased while we were trying to learn how to use our new camera...Oops.) When they came they brought us their old play set and the children love it! It has a swing and a slide, two of Sydney's favorite playground items. We put it out on the deck for a few days but decided that it would be more fun inside since it is so HOT outside for the next few months. So, we cleaned it really well and brought it inside. We love it. Sydney loves to slide and Logan loves to swing so it works out nicely. Here are a few pics of Sydney and some friends playing on it (it was still outside then).

Sydney also enjoyed a popsicle - also a favorite.

On the Move...

Logan is definitely mobile! He has been rolling and getting around for about two months but he has recently become a speed crawler. The kid can move! If he sees something he wants (like a pile of dirt I just swept in the kitchen) he makes a beeline for it. He gets really pleased with himself if he makes it in enough time to play a little before mommy catches him. It is so fun to watch him grow and learn how to use his little body.

Long Time

Well, I have lots of catching up to do since it has been so long since I posted. We have had a busy few weeks and are enjoying our summer. Heath dropped our camera a few weeks ago and it finally broke (it has been dropped several times before)and we have finally gotten another one and are starting to learn how to use it. We lost some great pictures when the other one broke, but that is how it goes sometimes. Heath took this picture out front of our house a few days ago. So gorgeous!
