Dream come true

Lorelai and I got to go horseback riding. We had so much fun! We drove up to Knoxville, TN and stayed with our friends. Since Eric is super allergic to horses he stayed home with the boys. Friday night I was a little worried. Lorelai seemed terrified of the horses, but before we went to bed she told me that she was planning on riding and the next day she was as good as her word. After watching Bella and Leila practice she was ready. Lore loves horses (she asked for a REAL pony for Christmas last year) so this was a dream come true. Here is a little video of her trotting. She had the time of her life.


This was really a child's paradise. Lots of room to run and tons of animals to feed, love, and chase.

A peacock strutting his stuff. He even turned around so we could get the full effect.
The girls favorite place to play when they weren't riding.
The horses were happy we were there. Check out the grin on this guy.
Lore really made those horses reach for the food!
All in all it was an awesome trip. A big thank you to Michelle for being so hospitable and Chelsea and John for letting us come up. The drive was definitely worth it.

Logan

There are so many little milestones at this age! It's so hard to keep up. My little baby is practically a toddler! His first word was Da da. I have accepted defeat 3-1. He also says "hey" and has started shaking his head no. At first I thought it was a mistake because none of the other kids did it, but he has done it multiple times now so I guess he just caught on quick! Here is a snapshot of Logan's month!

Here he is (almost 7 months) showing off how well he sits and trying to eat his weight in newspaper. Notice the little piece of paper on his chin.
Logan and Eeyore eating his first Mum mum! Whoever made these things was a genius. They dissolve quickly and don't make a mess.
I just realized that most of these pictures involve food. Here is Logan with some plain toast. He snatched it right out of my hands. I can't believe it. He's only 7 months old and he is already stealing my food.
He is just so happy when food is involved! This was the result of me taking a shower while Logan was awake. Reid climbed on the counter and got the chocolate chips out of a top cupboard. He was feeling generous and shared with his baby brother. I have to keep reminding myself that millions of children have survived older siblings.
