A little bit of everything...

The Wolfe family has been on the go...Go...GO! And we really haven't been doing that much - just running from here to there, inside to outside, house to house, house to work, house to daycare.

Here are some highlights...

Logan hung out with our friend Bobbie (his infant room teacher from class) when Daddy and I had a class at church to attend. Here are some pictures she took of him.



(they went on a walk and collected rocks)

We also went to see Daddy's new office and work. It was pretty cool and Logan thought it was great! Here is at Daddy's desk and in the showroom Daddy helps run.

And finally another dandelion hung and Logan picked some flowers to give me. So sweet. It is pretty funny when we go on walks now - he REALLY doesn't like when Nathan and I hold hands or when I pull the wagon. (Fine by me. ha!)


(Please notice the socks in this picture... he picked those out himself. One is one of my ankle socks and the other is one of his. He is so funny.)
I will have some great pictures from this weekend - we are going to the orchard and then out to my parents' house with my parents and brother's family for some fun and also some lovely fall photos of the kids in the beautiful colored leaves! YAY! WE'RE BACK!!

Still here . . .

We have sort of disappeared haven't we? Busy busy busy life. All is well and I'll try to get back to making some posts.

Hope you all are well!

When he has to go... he has to go.

A couple weeks before Logan turned two he all of a sudden started wanting to go potty on the toilet. As with most every other thing when it comes to Logan we just jumped into this change with both feet and hoped for the best. He was still needing to be prompted to go potty, but about 80% of the time we sat him on the toilet he would go. YIPEE! He was SOO thrilled with himself and ran around giving high fives to whoever was around. It was quite cute.

Now two months later - he is still going the overwhelming majority, he has many more dry diapers and is telling us more often when he has to go and not waiting for us to tell him. (Still working on the number two in the toilet, but we'll get there eventually - he is still young.)

Anyway - when that boy says he has to go - we stop what we are doing and he goes! This is no problem at home. When we are on the road - in the middle of no where and he says he has to go... so we pulled off into an empty church parking lot - made our way over to the edge... and.... *edited because I just couldn't put his tushy on the world wide web and you get the idea anyway. Oh and yes - he insists his pants need to be OFF when he goes potty.*

Dandelion Hunt!

Are we the only family who goes on dandelion hunts? We went on a big one last night. Logan is a star at hunting down dandelions! (You know - the ones that have tuned to puff balls of blow it off goodness?) Logan can spot them before Nathan and I. Being the efficient little dude he is he has skipped the blowing them off and gone straight to pulling them off, throwing the stem down and asking for, " 'nother one." I think between the three of us we found about 15 of them on our walk. I am loving soaking up these last days of sunshine and enjoying family time.

This is Logan "looking" for more dandelions. I think it kind of think he looks like he is trying to commune with spirits to tell him where the dandelions are, but whatever. ha!

SUCCESS! He was loving them!

Their first date!

Last week we had a little set up between these two toe heads last week. These two were in the infant room and early toddler room together, but this fall brought them separation as Izzy (who is 4 months older than Logan) went to the pre-school room and Logan is in the older toddler room. (You have to be at least 2 1/2 to in the pre-school room.) They have adored each other and so Izzy's mom and I thought it would be fun to get them together.

I picked them up from daycare and they had dinner and play time together. It was a GREAT time! The extra carseat was in our car for a week or so and every time we got in the car Logan always points to the seat and says "Izzy's seat." It is quite cute. Here are some pictures from their evening together. :-)

Out for a little ride

The days are getting shorter and shorter and cooler and cooler. But we have little spurts of warmth that go with the sunshine so that is great. We wanted to take advantage of what is left of nice weather and take Logan outside to burn off some energy! The past two nights we have given him free reign on his tricycle to speed on down the highway. (Aka: our very quiet road where only three cars drove down the whole time we were out.)

Logan peddles with lightning feet and goes like mad until his feet fly off and he coasts for a bit before he gets his feet back on and goes goes goes. The first night he road about a quarter mile and then walked/ran the rest of the way home. Last night he road the entire way but for the last two houses. (Those he ran! ha!) I think it is about a half mile - I think for a two year old that is pretty darn impressive!

Logan loves to crash his bike into things... momma and daddy's cars - rocks, grass, etc etc. And he yells - CRASH! cracks us up.



Taking a little break from riding to have daddy carry him around.


Our neighbors Judy and Larry - we love them! Logan absolutely adores them. They were off on their walk and stopped to say hi. Logan saw Larry a good block down the road and got off his bike and ran full speed to him. Larry was doing the same... all we were missing was slow motion, elevator music and a field of wild flowers. They are a blessing to all three of us and we couldn't ask for better next door neighbors!

I still need to write a post about Logan's first date on Tuesday... it was quite special! I'll try to do that this weekend. :-)

A lovely weekend...

We had a pretty great weekend in the Wolfe house - a mix of productivity, family time, a little relaxing and a great date night! Saturday morning we spent with Nathan's family at the Clinton Fall Festival. It is a lovely annual fall weekend the next town over from where I grew up. They have craft booths, fair food, things for the littles to do and a great parade to top off the weekend.

We went to the parade with my mom. It was a great hour and Logan went from being in a trance watching and then bam, "MOTORCYCLE!" bam.... "PLANE PLANE!" bam.... "TRACTOR!!" It was so cute!
