Gavin and Logan: What We've Been Up To

Logan finally had his appointment with the ear, nose and throat doctor. At this time, the doctor feels that Logan will really benefit from having tubes put in. So, August 15th will be the big surgery day. It's supposed to be a very short procedure and there really is no recovery time. The major challenge will be that Logan can't have anything to eat or drink after midnight the night before.

We have had a very busy week. Thursday the boys and I went to the Children's Museum and they seemed to enjoy themselves. A lot of the activities were geared towards older kids but Gavin and Logan liked running around. Friday night we babysat baby Z, she behaved perfectly! Logan kept stealing her paci and trying to put it back in her mouth and Gavin kept saying "baby, baby, baby." Every time they see her, their faces light up. On Saturday, Galen and the boys went to a wedding while I worked. They got to meet some of Galen's relatives for the first time. Sunday, we had a family reunion for Galen's family so the boys spent the majority of the day outside. They don't mind the grass now and will happily walk or sit in it. At one point they picked up boccie balls and tried to carry them around. I was a little nervous about their toes but they didn't drop them at all. Logan even tried to throw the boccie balls.

Monday and Tuesday they spent with my parents, who came up to help us out with getting the apartment finished up. They got to go for some long walks and hang out in a really big hotel room. They also got to eat at Burger King and Wendy's. Galen and I were able to get so much stuff done without being interrupted by the boys.
