Well, Logan is now one!! In the process of posting pictures, I figured more people look at Facebook than our blog, so that's where the 1st birthday pics went first. I've just recently been reminded of my desire to continue blogging. It seems strange how God uses people and events in our lives to remind us how important friendships, and keeping in touch with other people are. Logan's first birthday was just as exciting as I had hoped for. I documented on camera almost everything he did throughout the day! It was so much fun to watch his excitement even though he didn't realize what was going on. We'll definitely have to work on the cake eating for #2. Both parties he had, he dug right in with his hands but hardly ate any cake. Even after trying to force him to eat a little, he seemed not to like it. I guess that could be a good thing! Playing in it was definitely more fun than eating it!
I think in the slide show posted below are pictures from my brother's wedding and our vacation to Cape May, NJ with family. Brian and Wendy's wedding was beautiful, and I'm so glad to have a wonderful new sister-in-law. We've really enjoyed spending time with them since they've come home, and are looking forward to many more memorable times with them since they'll be staying in America!!
Our time in NJ was amazing! We drove through the night right after Brian and Wendy's wedding so Logan could sleep through the entire trip...mostly. We had a great time sitting out on the porch and on the beach relaxing and hanging out with family. I think we had ice cream 4 nights in a row, and Radez and Molly had creamed chip beef 3 days in a row (kind of like biscuits and gravy...not my fav)! Good thing we go for walks every morning! Logan LOVED the beach! An unending sand box can entertain him for hours! One of the cutest things he did was try to chase the birds down the beach! He kicked his crawl into high gear, and followed a couple of birds as long as they would let him! The water was unusually cold even for NJ, so he wasn't thrilled about the ocean until it finally warmed up...the last day we were there. Thank goodness for video cameras! We were able to capture his excitement.
Other minor exciting things we've been doing around town are going to the library for story time, going to Bruegger's Bagel Shop for music time, and we recently got a membership to Marbles Kids' Museum in Raleigh. Logan and I love getting out during the day. It's been a great way to meet new people, and I think the social interaction has been wonderful for Logan!
Click on the picture to see more. It's a little long. I'm still trying to figure out how to select a few without selecting all.
