Adriana & Logan had their first bath together...as you can see Adriana was SO excited!

I know...not a bath picture, but isn't he cute so nice and clean?

Farmer Adriana

This time of year Adriana's preschool does a "Farm Day" with pony rides, hay rides and all sorts of fun adventures! I thought I would put a picture of Adriana from this year and last year...so cute! She brought home a pumpkin which she said was "perfect for pumpkin pie" so I guess we'll tackle that soon...my first from scratch!

Catching Up...

Since it's been a couple of weeks, I thought I'd post several pictures from different times over the past couple of weeks. It's been a hectic time but it's always the kids that bring me back to what joy God has blessed us with! We are so happy to report that Memere's (Ben's mom's) surgery last week went very well - her recovery has been unbelievable!!

Adriana and Pepere playing Adriana's new favorite game "Guess Who"...sorry Pepere, looks like she beat ya that time!

NaNa & Aunt Ma (Ben's grandma & great Aunt)...what precious women of God!! We've been so fortunate to spend lots of time with them during the last week.

There's our smiley boy...can you see his little dimples popping out?

This picture captures more of what I think Logan's really going to look like...it's hard to see when they're babies but the shape of his face is starting to show!

Reilly, Mrs. Martha, and Mr. Josh spent last Sunday evening with us watching football and eating supper. Adriana and Reilly had a fun bath together!

How cute!!

They look like they could be brother and sister here!

While the other kiddos were getting a bath, I left Ben and Josh in charge of Logan...here's how I found him when I got back to the living room!

Adriana & the boys...she's already trying to keep them under control - good luck Adriana :-)

The World's Largest Omelet...

Ben & Adriana were very impressed with the "world's largest omelet" they made this morning!

Ben Turns 33!

This past week (Oct 8th) Ben turned 33! We celebrated by going to a Hibachi grill for dinner...Adriana was in awe the entire time and Logan just sat so quietly watching everything. Unfortunately I forgot my camera!!! We came home and had cake and opened presents! I've also put pictures from our adventure at Busch Gardens last weekend...Ben requested we go there for his birthday!

After a quick scavenger hunt, Ben found the bike he wanted for his birthday!

Ben's mom celebrated his birthday with us!

Yes, that is half of a cheesecake :-) We ate the other half after Busch Gardens the weekend before!

Adriana was so proud of the card she wrote for Daddy!

Busch Gardens...Logan's perspective (Pepere was such a trooper, helping me so much with the kiddos!)

Adriana always LOVES the rides (like father, like daughter)!

Adriana and Sherilan on the swings...Adriana is so excited that Sherilan can "play" with her now!

Jason & Ben...

Where did 2 months go?

Logan was 2 months old on Sunday...so hard to believe! Today he went to the doctor for his check-up and he's a whopping 14 lb, 10 oz...while I'm not totally surprised, it's hard to believe he is nearly 2 pounds more than Adriana was at his age and we all know what a little "chunky monkey" she was - I guess he's just a thick little boy! He was 25 inches long (well, the 2nd time they measured him...the first time he was 25 1/2 inches and they didn't believe it so they re-measured...seems to be "par for the course" with my kids). He was 97% on both height & weight so just one big boy :-)



Sadly, he had to have 5 shots...it always breaks my heart! I came home and took the pictures below only 3 hours later...I guess he stills loves me :-)

He really is such a HAPPY baby!

He got to try out his new play mat last night...he really enjoyed looking around at everything!
