Frosty The Snowman

 After a beautiful spring like 67 on Thursday, Friday came a thunderstorm followed by blizzard thick snow . . . For about an hour, then snowed ever so slightly into the next day. We were left with a measly inch by noon on Saturday. It left our plans of playing in the snow a little high and dry. So we headed north about twenty minutes to our Brother and Sister in Law's house who had, get this . . . 2 feet! craziness I tell you. But it was awesome and we had so much fun.

We almost didn't make it out into the snow as Mr. B out rightly refused to wear his mittens. We finally decided to let him see for himself how cold the snow really is, and the silly boy didn't seem to care. He finally consented to putting on a thin pair of knit mittons my sister-in-law had and wore them for over and hour. The poor kid's hands were icicles but he didn't mind and all and even partook in a snowball fight. 

But he and his cousin thought it was even cooler that you can eat snow. 

I realized well on our way that Baby L's snowsuit from his big brother is a size or two too big and so I macgyvered a solution. L. wasn't too pleased but it did the job. 

Halloweening :)

I know this is slightly or grossly out of order, but I finally got the pictures of L's first Halloween uploaded. Holy adorableness. I felt terrible that my sons' costumes were left to the last minute and decided but what meager choices Costco had left, but oh man it could not have turned out better. 

L was a giraffe in the softest fleece costume ever and big brother B was pretty much a cowardly Lion, although you could get him to "rawr" if you were lucky. 

It was such a fun weekend/wedneday. We look forward to all the Halloweens to come. 

A Day In The Life

Holy cow I love this little boy :) He is so close to consistently smiling. It melts my heart. 

So this morning with facebook and the general media a buzz with the news of the presidential election, I reflected how around here it is business as usual.

 So just like any other Wednesday today is babysitting day. It is definitely B's favorite days or days of the week. He adores his buddy (and his sister) that come over and play with us. 

They play with the same Little Tykes fort I had as a kid, how awesome. They also get to play in the same cool type of pop up tent I had. 

We also spend the day, playing with toy cars, running around the house :), coloring in our coloring books, dumping a bazillion legos and going down our tow slide. If its not freezing we even venture to the park. 

Baby L. simply chills in his sling :)  

We love our life, its crazy, its messy but their is lots of giggles and smiles.

Photo Bomb :)

After nursing along my pre-marriage camera w decided to enter into the grown up world of fancy pants cameras, as such we apologize for the large photo bomb about to occur. 

6 Week Update

The Logermeister is growing like a weed. My adorable little chunk I swear is almost 11 pounds and busting out of his 0-3 month clothes and starting to get leg rolls. I spend a good hour a day kissing his chubby cheeks. Mr. B is in love with him too, not jealous by any means, instead he is more of a toddler style tough love, as in a smother him with kisses kind of thing. We hope he figures out his little brother needs him to be a bit more gentle, but oh man is it sweet to see how much B loves him.

We are so excited to announce that you are at the end of having to view my crappy cell phone pictures as we are the proud owner of a "fancy pants camera." I fear the number of pictures taken of our children is about to skyrocket. But hey their only little once right :)

As you can see from the pictures below I have had way too much fun getting to reuse the same 0-3 month clothes, I loved the outfits we had and definitely felt they did not get nearly enough use.

B. is on the left at one week and L is on the right at 4 weeks.

Behold the Logermeister (6 weeks) and his brother B at 8 weeks. Such a cute outfit from Grandpa.

Again L on the Left and B on the right. Okay so not the happiest but both were even cute crying.

Home At Last

Baby #2 came home from the NICU this last Friday October 5th. We have thoroughly enjoyed having his sweet spirit in our home. We plan to provide more of an update when we are not busy just enjoying our two darling boys. Thank you so much for all your love, support and prayers, we very much appreciate it. 

Love,

C.G. Mr. B and Baby L. 

Sleepytime

Hurray Mr. Logan is now tube free (he had had a large suction tube down his throat all last week) although he was briefly on a feeding tube the first day of feedings (as pictured above) but the kid absolutely would not tolerate and went to the extreme of ripping it out on three occasions, so we gave permission for the kiddo to get his feedings by bottle if I am not there to nurse him instead. 

On another positive note Logan has been declared all healed from surgery and has been eating on a schedule every three hours to see how he is digesting. That is up until today where he got to eat as much as he wants. Sadly that amount is only a third of what a newborn needs (even a breastfed infant) so until we can convince little man to stay awake long enough to eat how much he needs to he has more NICU time ahead of him. Thankfully they are taking excellent care of him and for that we feel very blessed.
