Happy Birthday Mom!

Today is my mom's birthday. Although I think of her everyday and miss her everyday, I think about her even more on her birthday. I miss her like crazy these days. It deeply saddens me that Logan will not grow up with his grandma around, but I know they will meet someday. We already show him pictures of her and talk about her all the time. I also sing to him songs that she sang to me when I was young. Unfortunately I inherited her terrible singing voice, but I don't think Logan minds. Like we have in past years, Jesse and I will eat Chinese food and play Scrabble (two of her favorites) in honor of her. We love you mom!!!

Jesse's band, The Blurklezurps, is playing at the NV Lounge in Normal on June 6th. The time is TBD. We hope to see you all there!!!

Loving Life

"I love my mom and dad this much!"

Life is good! Mother's Day weekend we visited Jesse's family in Sterling and we had a great time. My dad also came and ate dinner with us on Saturday night. It was so much fun to watch Logan "interact" with his cousin, Ryder. They like to watch each other and "share" toys. My first Mother's Day as a mother was very special. Jesse made breakfast and lunch and did all the cleaning up. He even watched Bride Wars with me. I frequently found myself thinking throughout the day (and most days), "I'm truly happy!" What a great feeling!!!

Logan either has another cold or he has allergies. As a result of his cold or allergies he had a blocked tear duct that got infected. We visited the doctor today and now we have to give him eye drops twice a day (and of course he hates it). Also, Logan's pediatrician referred us to an Ear, Nose and Throat doctor and so we'll be meeting with him soon to address Logan's congestion problems. Despite his minor health problems, Logan is a very happy baby. He smiles and laughs all the time. He is truly loving life!

Chillin' in the sun!
