Happy New Year!

Wow, it's been awhile since I posted a blog! Life has been busy! Let's see if I can give an update on the boys:

Logan:

He is growing and maturing before our eyes!!! I can't believe his first birthday is less than a month away! He is now crawling like crazy. He is pulling himself up on everything and walking along whatever he can hold onto. He watches big brother do everything. He is also "talking" up a storm. He has at least 4 sounds that he says. It's hard to say if they are directly correlated to what they appear to be, but sometimes they seem to be! mamamama, dadadada, babababa, doidoidoi, etc. He is always jabbering away!!

Logan also travelled with Daddy & Shaun to all of Shaun's activities. Daddy & Logan went by themselves after dropping of Shaun at school on Thursdays to baby story time!

Logan at 11 months!

Shaun:

He is loving all of his activities! Morning activities are: swim lessons, story time and preschool.

Swim is on Monday/Wednesdays. The last session ended the week before Christmas and he graduated to preschool level 2, Jellyfish! He has been in the preschool level for 10 months and improving greatly the last few months. He loves to swim with the noodles, life jacket and jump! The last couple of sessions he was always way above the level of the other kids, so the teacher said he was ready to advance in January! They start the new class on Wednesday!

They all go to preschool story time at the library on Tuesday mornings. First they do a few songs with a guitar, which Logan really loves too and then are some stories. Then they pick out a few books to take home! The library has a list: "Countdown to Kindergarten; 100 essential picture books". We started the list in September. With about 2 years before Kindergarten, we are reading a book on the list every night for a week, so should finish the list right before K!

Thursdays and Fridays is preschool for 2 hours. There are 12 kids in his class. They do fun activities, crafts, a lesson, and a bible lesson. I love that they get a bible lesson every time! He can't wait until it is school day! They had a birthday party for Jesus on the last day of school before Christmas break!

Evening activities include AWANA and usually a sport.

AWANA is on Wednesdays and church has dinner beforehand so I don't have to cook! He has to memorize a verse for it every week. He is good at it too! They wear a Cubbie vest where he gets a patch every few weeks or month or so after doing all the required memorization and activities.

In September/October he did outdoor soccer through the Y & LOVED it! They named their team the Lightening Rushers. The season had 6 hour games and about 8 45 minute practices.

Then he did indoor soccer in November/December for 35 minutes for 6 weeks through Kids Love Soccer.

Then he begged us to sign him up for basketball, so practices for that start this week and games start on the 14th! He is counting down the days! Who knew that he knew as much to ask to sign up for it?!?!?! My boy is a sports boy!

Well, happy new year to everyone! I hope that the year is a good one for everyone!
