Updates

I figured it was probably a good time to post some pictures and a few little updates. I've been busy working on a big birthday project for Logan over the last several days (which I'll post about soon). All of my free (read: blogging) time is taken up with it's time consuming nature. It'll be worth it when she sees it, though!

So, Brody is really all boy and likes to get into things and get dirty and seems to enjoy getting hurt--I mean, not in the moment, but it doesn't stop him from trying to do the SAME things over and over and over. So, I've had to put gates up into the entryways of all the rooms/bathrooms (I have to pick one more up for the kitchen as that seems to be his new place of liking). The one that we put up in their room was originally put there to keep Logan in at bedtime but is working great to contain the little monster when I need to get things done!

We re-did our porch yesterday. I loved the play area I had set up out there and then our water heater exploded in October of last year, and with all the men stomping around with their workboots to fix it the play area got destroyed. I had to, sadly, throw away all of our foam mats that made it so comfortable to sit out there and play. We had a little extra $ for Logan's birthday so I picked up a new set. It doesn't cover the porch like the last one did so I'm hoping to put a little more away so we can get two more sets, but this works for now! It's been warm enough some afternoons to sit out and enjoy our afternoon snacks...

The really, really look like siblings to me here:

Not to mention how big he looks!

I love getting time away with each kid. Yesterday, our neighbor held on to Logan for me while I went to Target to look at birthday supplies and I got to take this sweet guy with me. (I also love my iphone and the fact that I can snap pictures of either kid in public and not look like the paparazzi)

This girl is not allowed to turn 3 next week. I already told her, but have to make sure she knows I'm joking or it makes her really distraught. She's got a cute crush on a little boy in her MOPS classroom, so, I've found that saying his name right before I snap pictures of her gets me a natural smile. :) I'm sure she'll love that trick one day.

Brody loves his new toys...must mostly just loves to put them in his mouth. I guess he's compensating for not having his pacifier during the day. :)

So, the post was a little more all over the place than I had intended, but it gives you a glimpse into our lives right now.
