silence...

Silence... it's what you've been getting from me latley! To say we've been busy is putting it lightly. Chickens running around with their heads cut off is probably slightly more accurate!

And silence is what I'm listening to right now... just sweet noises of Logan, Luke, Andrew (and even Jake!) sleeping. I've been tossing in turning in bed for about an hour, unable to get back to sleep after Luke's 3am feeding. Too many lists of things to do running through my mind!

Things seem to be sliding right along as we go from summer to fall. Luke is quickly approaching his 6 month birthday (!!) He's rolling all over the place now and is working on some sort of crawl... (scoot butt up and face plant into the floor... scream and repeat!) We started solid foods this week and Mr. Food Connoisseur with his delicate little palate can't possibly eat it unless it's warmed AND thickened with cereal. It's been really fun to watch him experience new tastes and textures. Is it possible that your second child grows even faster than your first?!

Logan is such a loving big brother. He loves Luke more than anything and has taken to telling him "You're my best friend!" quite often. As a Mom, there are few things sweeter than that! I can only hope that when they get a little older, he still feels the same way about him! He's always so concerned about where Luke is or why he's upset. Hopefully this means that not only does he love his brother but that we're doing a good job of raising a compassionate, caring young man!

A few weekends ago, we took the kids on a (very impromptu!) trip to Boston for a quick over-nighter. We hit up the New England Aquarium, Faniuel Hall and Quincy Market! (and I talked Andrew into a quick stop into Ikea!! wooot!) Logan really loved the aquarium! Staying in the hotel was a cool idea as well... until it was actually time to go to bed. It's a good thing we had a king, because he ended up sleeping with us!

Hanging out at the hotel, waiting to go to the Aquarium!

"Mom!! That fish is like this big!!!"


Logan got to touch Hermit Crabs and Starfish.... and was thoroughly creeped out by it!


Luke slept through the whole thing....
