logan maeve {3.5 years}.


my sweet girl,

you are a ball of fire and we love you so!  you have a whoooole lotta feelings these days and anytime you hear the word "no" you get real sad or mad or start saying "that really hurts my feelings."  you also tell us all the time how much you love us, so keep that up love bug, we love to hear it  :) 

you have handled your transition into your big sister role wonderfully well and we could not be more grateful.  you have loved helping out, constantly want to play and hold nora and get sad when she is not with us.  you have your moments, which is to be expected, but overall just want to love on nora. 

thank goodness your obsession with "chicken" is over and now you are on to "turtle."  you sure do love your stuffed animals!  turtle travels with us everywhere and you have already announced that you want to be a turtle for halloween.  you actually want us all to be a family of turtles.  we shall see if this idea plays out come october. 

you ask for treats EVERY.SINGLE.DAY and also started to ask for a dog.  your mama cannot imagine taking care of anything else at the moment, so a doggie will have to wait until you get older. 

one of my favorite things that you are doing right now is when you are super upset and crying from a bumped knee or getting your feelings hurt is to sit in my lap and brush all the hair off my shoulders as you start to calm down.  it is so sweet and i just wanted to write it down so i don't forget it.  cause time is moving at lighting speed and you are growing up just way too fast. 

we love you DEARLY sweet girl and constantly send you endless hugs and kisses!

love,

mama

homemade father's day cards.


logan had fun cutting these shapes (she is obsessed with scissors right now and has even been found cutting some of her beloved books!) and then gluing them down.  Tried to teach her about "abstract form" but don't think she took much away from that concept :)

weekend celebrations.

this weekend we celebrated father's day and my birthday, which happen to fall on the same day this  year....to break it up - we did my bday festivities on saturday and father's day festivities on sunday.  it was a family fun weekend filled with some art museum time, homemade cupcakes, a visit to jeff's favorite plant store, meals of all four of us, and meals just the two of us (!), crawfish, a brewery visit and even a massage.  good times indeed!

 bday fun!

father's day fun!
