The best part about his rendition is the word "Spud" pronounced as "bud."

April 3, 2010 Egg Hunt
Logan made out like a bandit at the local egg hunt. The idea was to find as many eggs as possible (obviously); the numbered eggs got you something special--and the silver and gold eggs got you something really magnanimous. Logan found three numbered eggs and the silver egg. Result? Three chocolate bunnies and one mamadinosaur bunny (as seen here). Since we've missed the past two years of egg hunts (by getting to them too late), I think he deserves this.

Happy holidays!
I think it was Lyric, in the family room, with the wooden knife...
I just swam ten laps around the tub. How about you?
Happy birthday, Lyric (one of three cakes mama made)!What a whoosh the holidays were. Everyone got sick with a stomach bug and the kids got bronchitis! Mommy and daddy didn't get much from Ms. Chanumas, but Logan made out for the whole family, plus some extra. A Lightning McQueen puzzle, more puzzles, some puzzles, did I mention puzzles?, oodles of Hot Wheels cars, a remote control car, and a new bike (Cars, of course) Uncle Adam and Aunt Jody gave him. Training wheels and all. He can barely reach the pedals. We'll save it for the spring.
Logan is now learning to write. He can draw the letters H, L, A, and M on a regular basis. He made an F and an E tonight. He traces everything in his little workbooks given to him by his babysitter. He wrote his name once, too. And Lyric took up a marker and drew her first picture tonight too!
Our camera busted, so until we get a new one (hopefully soon), we'll only post pictures.

We're back!
While it may seem our kids have fallen off the face of the earth because it's been an ice age since I posted last, in fact, Logan and Lyric are doing pretty well, if you discount the fact that Logan still thinks his sister is a toy, ignore the whirlwind tantrums and Hot Wheels car-throwing, tune out the screeching of Lyric at 4am for no apparent reason, and forget the unceremonious dumping of Cheerios from their box onto the carpet (got that one on camera!)...I mean, they're both pretty darn cute, so in the end, that just wins out.
Lyric is desperately trying to walk these days. She cruises so fast that she sometimes just glides into a wobbly walk--then, plop, on the floor. She stands up to try again, and maybe she'll eek out a few funny unbalanced steps--then, plop, once more. Logan could take it or leave it, the fact that she's trying to walk. He's more interested in making sure she has her scratchy blanket for bed, checking she hasn't swiped one of his cars, or letting us know she needs some "moo-me" when she cries. She talks a bunch, too, now--and she's as good an eater as Logan. She had artichokes the other day--loved'm. She'll eat just about anything you put in front of her--or anything that's on the floor, like leaves and week-old Cheerios and dog food (yes, we're constantly ushering her away from danger!). We haven't tried sardines, yet, but we will :)
Logan is really a little man now. I know that because he can point down at himself and say with utter confidence, "testicles." That's a sure sign of growth. He also can identify his numbers and letters. He recognizes cool shapes like "octagon" and "hexagon." What's neat is that he points out these things even out of context--he'll point to some shape on the side of the road or on the cover of a book and tell us what it is. He also likes making letters with blocks and cars and trains. The other night we made a bendy line of Lego choo-choos. "What's that," I said. "J," he said. And it was true, the bent line of trains had formed a kind of long J. What he really excels at though is counting. He counts everything--he can get up to twenty (skipping fifteen for some reason).
Here's some pics and stuff. Cheers...

August 25, 2009 A Day at the Fair
The family had a day off during the week (thank you, Norton (Doug's boss, who also gave him a pass to park on his street so we didn't have to pay for parking at the fairgrounds)), so we went to the fair down in Dutchess.We'd never been--rides galore, animals (too many cows in Rach's opinion), and lots of expensive salty food. We had a good time. Logan and I went on the bumper cars--Logan liked it, but he chickened out on the bungee jumping and the pony ride (at least they gave us our money back). Here are some pics. We forgot the camera, so these were all taken with our phones.

Lyric eyes the camera
Lyric is very mobile now--you put her down and look away for a few seconds, and she's off under the choo-choo table, or in the corner trying to chew on a ball or something. She's very happy now that she can move around on her own. Logan is cool with it, until she raids his car stash...which is actually good, since she shouldn't be teething on hot wheels anyway.
Logan and Daddy shave their heads
Well, I decided to shave my head--the mop was getting to ratty. Logan also decided he wanted to look like daddy, and willingly let Rach shave his head. He looks a whole lot like his cousin now! Plus, with all the tics around here, and me already having Lyme, we thought it was a good idea. He likes it--he also had fun trying to throw the old hair around the play room :) We took video of the whole thing, but it's too big to post.
A Trip to Montauk
Hi--couple weeks back in early July we headed to Montauk for vacation. Adam and Jody rented a house and invited us to come out. Jody's sister Melissa and her husband Todd and kids also came--we had a house with five kids all under the age of 3 (not counting me). Pretty darn crazy! Here are some pictures. We didn't get a whole lot of video, as we were all busy chasing Logan around the pool half the time, but we might have more pictures after everyone else downloads theirs.
