First Day of School

So...somehow I forgot to take a picture of Logan on the first day of middle school. I'm pretty sure I was so preoccupied with getting each child to the correct bus stop at the correct time that I just forgot. Sorry buddy. However, I do have a distant, blurry shot of his waiting for the bus. I was that mother who refused to leave until I actually saw my kid get on the bus. I'm paranoid like that.

I managed to get this quick shot of Tyler before he took off for the bus. Such a Tyler pose...and it was a bit chilly that morning, so he wore a sweater. I haven't seen the sweater since. I'm sure it's already found a spot in lost and found.



If you look close, you can see Tyler's feet about to get in the school bus. That's how fast he took off. I couldn't even get my camera to reset in time.



This was after the first day of school. Tyler is walking towards me on the sidewalk and Logan is in front of the brick wall. In the mornings, they get on different buses in different places. Tyler's is on our corner, while Logan's is 2 blocks over. Somehow they end up on the same bus in the afternoon. I'm still not sure how that happens. I guess as long as they get home, I'll try not to worry about it.

Logan's 11th Birthday

I can hardly believe that Logan is already 11. Where did that little boy go who used to answer every question with an adorable shrug and an "I don't know!" He has grown into such an amazing, smart, generous, and loving young man. He has started middle school, which is just another reminder of how old he is getting! I'm so glad he was home form Michigan in time to celebrate his big day. We love you Logan!!!


The kitchen all decked out for the birthday rock star!



Every birthday morning starts with a cinnamon roll cake and presents! I think his favorite one by far was his new PSP.



Logan decided that he wanted a PSP for his birthday in lieu of a big birthday party, so we took him, and friend, and Tyler to Mr. Biggs for the afternoon. They had so much fun! Then it was home for a yummy Harry Potter birthday cake!
