Logan and I went to lunch with a very old friend of mine not to long ago. Her name is Christie and I have know her since the good Lord made the earth. Not that long ago of course but it seems like it. Christie is now living in paradise...Hawaii! She is soaking up the sun and having some fun there! I am very happy for her and hope the Lord blesses her there. This was also the first time she met my baby boy too! We had fun Christie and we miss you! 
The three of us just went to my friend's house warming party. This is Catherine and Russell's first house together! This is such an exciting time for them. I remember when Jack and I got our first home together as well. They have done a fabulous job with their place! I am so happy for the two of them! It was great to see Catherine's mom, Pat, and Catherine's sister, Sarah! We had a nice time!
We were twins and didn't plan it....(My shoes look really sweet with this outfit...haha)
We are holding our own toys now...

I think she was saying, "Cheese Aunt KK"....or maybe, "Hola!'...

Winter Wonderland...
Blanket of snow....
Here are some pictures of the beautiful blanket of snow at my parent's house in Maryland! We were visiting when the snow decided to make it's debut. For Logan's first snow..it sure was a BIG SNOW! I did not take him out to play in this winter wonderland while in Maryland. He was also experiencing his first cold too. He had been sneezing and coughing and his little nose was very runny! We managed the storm there and came back home to Virginia to discover more snow at our house too! My Uncle Don had to come plow my parent's driveway twice...bless his heart. Mom and I never shoveled so much snow before in our lives. My dad is still recovering from his back surgery so he had to watch from the window. He usually is the one to take care of everything. He will be back to it in no time! I also lit their woodstove for the first time in my life while I was there. I always watched my dad do this and he made it look pretty easy. I never knew the work that went into loading up the wood, cleaning out the stove, and all the other stuff that goes with it too! Tobey and Skyler blended in with the snow and at times it was hard to find them when I let them outside. I had to carry Skyler to an area where the snow was cleared. Otherwise it would have gone way over his head. The snow went up to Tobey's neck but this is his kind of weather and he was LOVING the snow. It was hard to get him to come inside. If I learned anything while I was home this time I know I will never look at a snow shovel or firewood in the same way again!
January 19th was the first time Logan slept in his crib for the entire night! He has been ready to do this for a while but it was me holding back. I was not ready to do this. However, I knew it was what was best for Logan. He slept like an angel in his little nursery. I put Logan to bed that night and I headed downstairs to our bedroom. I was laying in bed and I had the monitor practically glued to my ear. : ) I would try so hard to fall asleep but I just couldn't. I have been so used to Logan being right next to me when I woke up for the past 4 months. I guess you could say I was having a little separation anxiety. I decided I would get much better sleep if I slept upstairs on the couch near Logan's nursery. The next morning I am laying on the couch and I hear Jack rushing up the stairs. He missed the both of us! It was so cute. The picture posted is obviously Logan in his crib from that night. My little boy is growing up! I will say that I am now sleeping in my own bedroom and becoming more comfortable with him upstairs. I also wanted to say..January 19th was also my dad's birthday too! Happy belated birthday Pop-de-dop! He is doing really well post surgery. My sister and I and our husbands got him a treadmill for his birthday. We knew he was going to have to do a lot of walking after his surgery. Therefore, we thought this was the best gift to give him to help him recover!
