The LaGarde Family

not in a bad way- those of you with dirty minds out there….

Logan got a new toy and boy does he love it- its a walker and he has now learned how to turn and direct it, he follows me around the kitchen into the family room, even into the bathroom… I can’t seem to get a moment with out him =) He is learning how to reverse- and he is now getting into the drawers and cabinets- wow is he trouble…

as I write this we are listening to the beach boys- “I get around” and ironically Chris is in Boston, preparing to fly home this afternoon- our family does get around the U.S., I guess…

. . . Logan was born. It is hard to beileve that it has been 8 months already. We are so blessed to have such a beautiful son and a wonderful community of friends and family to share our son with. I (chris) was having a conversation with Susan  (thank you again Susan), who happened to sit next to me on my plane ride up to Boston yesterday, and most of our conversation was about our kids (she has two sons, one is 20 the other is 16) and how they have changed our life. Logan has had a huge effect on my, mostly in that I seek to not miss the little moments in life. I stop a lot more and just soak life in. As with our hay ride on Sunday, normally i would have just gone on the hay ride, not thought much about it. But i found myself really being in the moment, trying to drink up as much of the experience as possible, watching Logan experience it that way as well, and I just loved it.

SO, to my 8 month old son, thank you for changing my life. I love you.

I left Chris home with Logan on Saturday for the afternoon and today Chris shows me this picture that he took when he was playing with Logan- I laughed so hard it made my stomach hurt- isn’t this such a FUNNY look! oh it is so fun to have children =) he will hate us some day for putting this up on the internet…
