Back Home

We have been back home for 5 days now. It was an interesting trip back home. The day before we were supposed to come back home, Logan got sick and we ended up taking him to urgent care because he had a temperature of 103. Logan ended up having a throat infection (we didn't have them test for strep) and the start of an ear infection. We considered not flying for a couple of days but I didn't want to fly by myself with the kids and have to pay for a ticket for Logan. The flight back home was fine. Logan's ears did not bother him from what we could see and both kids slept for most of the 8 1/2 hour flight.

After arriving back home, we got to move into our new place. Now we are in the process of getting the place the way we want it. Most of our stuff is still in storage because we want to paint while the rooms are empty. We have the bedrooms ready to paint. Now we are just waiting for an opportunity to paint (Tim not working while I watch the kids). Tim will probably get some painting done on Friday after he gets up from sleeping (he is working nights right now). After the bedrooms are painted, we will get the living room and dining room done. Then we can move all of our furniture in and go pick out living room furniture (we got rid our couch over a month ago). Once we get our place set up, I will post some pictures.

Monday Ashley had her 2 month check-up. She weighed 10 lbs 13 oz and was 23 1/2 inches long. Her length makes me wonder if the nurse at the hospital measured her wrong because she apparently grew 5 1/2 inches in just over 2 months. I have heard that babies grow about 5 cm in the first couple of months. Along with her check-up she got her first set of shots. She was fussy for about a day and then was back to normal.

Logan has been doing a lot more talking lately and communicating what he wants. Sometimes what he wants is not what we want to give him but once his mind is made up there is no changing it. Something else Logan has been working on is potty training. Every once in a while he will tell us that he needs to go and we set him on the toliet and he actually goes. It is a start. We aren't going to push it too hard right now since we are still trying to get settled into our place.

As for Tim and I, we are just trying to get stuff done so we can finish moving.
