Warm Fall Days

We've had a spell of warm days here lately hitting the upper 80's! We were really loving the upper 60's/lower 70's and are ready to get those back, but in the meantime, we headed over to one of our local parks to enjoy the sunny weather today. Logan's naps are just not as great when she doesn't get time to go run off steam (go figure, right?), so it's really nice when I can just say go and let her run wild with her friends outside.

The last time we were at this park, she wasn't too crazy about the slides, but she's recently developed quite an affinity for them and did NOT want to leave this one alone.

Of course, being the non-traditionalist that she is, she's decided going down the slide the correct way is just not going to happen for her.

So, she's chosen another method.

She also loves to climb, and gets very concentrated when she's doing it:

She's getting to the age where she really, really enjoys playmates. Kate and Logan play so well together, it's such a blessing to have them right around the corner.

We had a nice, picnic lunch while we were there.

Logan and Noah.

Noah wanted to feed Logan (she didn't chop his finger off, despite the fact that she looks a little like a shark in this picture):

And then they played together for a while!

We would down the morning with some pictures, some more sliding and a nice walk home.

And she's dead asleep right now...maybe we'll stay that way for a few hours and I can get the pantry re-organized!

I Scream, You Scream

With our gender reveal ultrasound and a huge consignment sale (which I volunteered at) last week, we didn't have a whole lot of time to celebrate finding out about our sweet little boy! We really wanted to do something simple and special for Logan so we went out Saturday night and got her a big sister treat we knew wouldn't disappoint:

She ate that cone up in no time! She's already talking about her little "brud" that's in mommy's belly and we just know she's going to be a wonderful big sister.

It's a....

And we are SO thrilled to have one of each gender-it'll be the best of both worlds in our house! I woke up this morning with a gut feeling we'd see a sweet boy (Mike was still convinced that it was a girl up until we saw the hard evidence...and there's no denying this kid is all BOY) and we did.

He is one active little guy! I knew this already as I've been feeling a TON of movement over the past week, but he showed off for the camera today. He's measuring perfect and right on target for a late Feb/early March delivery and the anatomy scan showed a textbook little baby.

And since I'll be 19 weeks tomorrow, here's my 19 weeks shot with baby boy. As with Logan, we'll be keeping his name quiet until you can all put a sweet face with his name!

18 Weeks!

I hit 18 weeks on Friday but since we were traveling, I obviously missed the post. Here's the picture for good measure! We have our ultrasound that will reveal the gender on Thursday (10/7) so only a day and a half before we know if we'll be doing more pink or adding some blue to the house! Either way, we're thrilled to have had a healthy pregnancy thus far and look forward to our new little family member joining us in a few months.

Cousins

Logan got to spend quite a bit of time with her cousin, Benjamin, this weekend. Mike's sister's mother-in-law is a photographer and was really sweet and came to take some pictures of the cousins together. Here are a few shots, but you can see them all here.

Weekend Photo Dump

Here are some pictures from our weekend in Ohio:

Logan loved the hotel closet, especially since she could close the door herself and hide in there.

We made a quick stop at daddy's Alma mater so that we could get some pictures and a few little treats.

Then we headed to Findlay to spend some time with Daddy's family.

We took a nice walk.

Logan loved all of the attention she got from her grandparents.

We got to spend some time with our nephew, who we haven't seen since he was two weeks old.

And Logan got to use her big sister skills with him.
