November

It feels like it's been a long time since I blogged so I wanted to get caught up before Christmas time approaches. It's not that we haven't been doing anything, it's just that I haven't been taking many pictures. And it doesn't really seem like it's worth blogging without pictures to include.

So, what have we been doing? Well we have been watching the OSU football games, but the civil war was such a disappointment that it doesn't seem worth writing about now. We spent Thanksgiving day at my parents' house with Mark and Joani and my grandpa. The few pictures I am including are from that day. Logan got all the attention of six adults, at least when we weren't cooking, eating, etc. (he still got a lot of attention).

Jon's parents came over for the weekend and brought their new puppy. She's a Snoodle (Schnauzer/Toy Poodle mix). She is a very cute little dog, and pretty well behaved for a puppy. Logan wasn't quite sure of her at first, but he warmed up to her as time went on and thought she was pretty entertaining as long as she wasn't chasing or jumping on him (although she weighs so little she certainly couldn't knock him over or anything). We also went for a hike/walk out at Peavy Arboretum. Logan rode in the backpack on the way out, but on the way back he wanted to walk. I couldn't believe how far he walked/ran, especially because it was mostly in the direction we wanted him to go! He was one tired boy afterward and took a great map when we got home. :)

Logan is saying new words all the time. Recent favorites are car (which we hear a lot whenever we go to the store), tree (he learned that on our hike), bird, and of course the ever popular "n" word. It seems like he says something new every day! I can't even keep track of them all anymore.

Here are some pictures from Thanksgiving. We are trying to learn how to use our camera better (rather than just always using the auto setting), so some of them didn't turn out so well.
