Still alive...

Sorry it has been such long since I posted last. Things are fine - just BUSY!

A quick recap...

• My birthday was both a success and failure. I woke up to breakfast in bed. Nathan brought the plate of food and Logan brought the salt and pepper. And went ahead and salt and peppered the carpet. It was pretty cute. The prime time portion of the day was taken up by Nathan's sister's graduation ceremony from her Masters program. So most of what Nathan had planned didn't pan out. It was a big bummer, but we ended the night on a good note. Movie and then to the Melting Pot for some chocolate fondue dessert. YUMMMY!
• Since then we have just been busy living life. I've been LOVING life lately. I'm working on losing weight... 15 pounds so far! YAY!
• Logan is working really hard to actually SAY - Mommy. It is funny because "mama" was his first word and he said it for a little while and then stopped... for like a year. I would be lying if it didn't break my heart a little when he just screams "DADDY DADDY DADDY!" at the sight of Nathan - the most I get out of him is Bobby. This wouldn't be a HUGE deal except for that fact that his first teacher at daycare is Bobbie and he shouts with joy and screams her name when he sees her. We are consistently repeating back "mmmmmobby" and last night for the first time he actually SAID Mommy when repeating us. I'm very much looking forward to the day when he looks and says it to me unprompted. I will say - the saving grace is that NONE of his words start with "M" - I lost count on his words after about 115 (we have been in a language explosion lately) and exactly 0 start with "M."
• Logan spent the weekend with my in-laws which everyone seemed to enjoy the visit. Although his parents REALLY missed him. While he was away Nathan and I busted some serious tail on the basement. Earlier this year we did some work on my craft room and that was great and all. HOWEVER... the rest of the basement... oh.my.gosh. So so bad. Clean House worthy bad... couldn't get from here to there bad... just bad bad bad. We have a very very long to-do list of things around the house this summer and many of them would be most helped by us having a functional, clean and organized basement. And we actually did it! It was a LONG two days and I kept disappearing as I have a scrapbook order to send to California tomorrow and was working on that. But Nathan and I did a TON of work down there and it looks STELLAR! I just kept walking in there and just dancing around. Nathan thought was crazy.

So that is where we have been as of late. We are heading up to Cadillac, MI this coming weekend to help get Nathan's grandparent's house in order now that it is on sale and such. Hopefully the trip will go smoothly. Logan doesn't sleep in pack and plays anymore so we are trying a PeaPod Plus tent for him to sleep in. Fingers crossed! My mom was going to try and get him to nap in it today... hope it went well.

Will be back to normal posting soon I hope!
