Life with Logan, Jacob and Norah: Another Weekend Over

This weekend we didn't have any plans so we really enjoyed just relaxing and spending time at home. Logan came down with yet another cold so it was nice to be able to stay home a bit and let him get well again.

Since Scott will be bowling in the Open Tournament next weekend, we thought we'd head to the bowling alley on Saturday morning for him to get in a few practice games. It was pretty busy at the lanes so Logan was really quiet at first and just sat on my lap. Once he got comfortable though, he was happy to stand at the ball return again waiting for all the balls to come flying back. (I have a cute picture but for some reason I can't get it to upload).

After his nap on Saturday, we went out for a walk in the snow. It seems pretty early to have this much snow that isn't melting but we can't stay in the house all winter. Logan's been out in the snow at daycare already but we haven't seen his reaction yet. He wasn't too sure at first and couldn't really move very well in all his warm clothes...he liked it better in the stroller.

Not too sure

"Can I go back in my stroller now?"

Warming his hands by the fire after playing outside.

The cats love the fireplace! Since we use the fireplace almost exclusively to heat our house, it's on a lot so the basement can get pretty warm. The cats love it and spend most of their time downstairs basking in the heat. Here's a funny picture of Peanut and Cheeto trying to "share" their cat house and be close to the fire. Peanut was in there first and then Cheeto joined her...Peanut doesn't look too impressed.

Today we stayed home from church since Logan is still getting over a cold. We didn't want him to spread it to the rest of the kids in the nursery...not that he stays in the nursery but that's a whole other story!

My parents came over and we all went out for lunch and then Scott and I left Logan here with my parents so that we could go visit my grandma in the hospital. My grandma's had a rough week and has been in the hospital since Wednesday. She's now recovering from a broken ankle among other things. She'll be in the hospital for a bit longer and then moved to a temporary residence where she can be while her ankle heals. We didn't stay for long since grandma was pretty tired but it was nice to see her. Prayers for her ankle to heal quickly would be appreciated as well as for a bed to open in a great care facility for her.

Tomorrow I'm back to work...things are going ok. Logan loves daycare though, so that's great. It's bittersweet but I'm so glad that we found a good match for him. If I can't be home with him, I'm glad that he's somewhere where he really likes it.

Here are a few other random pictures from the weekend.
