Merry Christmas!

So long NECD

Because the NECD webmaster "shut 'er down," I will probably use this blog to share the latest news about the Logback bunch. I haven't posted in a LONG time, so I've got a lot of catching up to do.

This summer Easton finally started riding his bicycle (with a little coaxing from his Mom, Dad and neighbor friends). He does really good and maybe next summer we'll ditch the training wheels. The neighbor kids also got Easton into tree climbing, so most days I find him up the tree in the front yard. His obsession with racecars is finally fading a bit now that he has a new obsession...'er...passion. Dinosaurs and planets. He loves studying about the planets in our solar system, he can name them all in order, and can tell you how many Earths fit inside the sun and how the Moon was formed. He spouts off dinosaur names that tie my tongue in a knot. His favorite dino is T-Rex (because he was the most terrible lizard of all) and you will probably see his T-Rex imitation in an upcoming Christmas card photo. (Sorry Grandpa!) We don't "read" bed time stories anymore. We "study" them.

Edie is a little bitty girl with a lot of spunk! She eats more than the rest of us, yet remains teeny tiny. She loves to torment...'er play with her brother. She is starting to talk, and her favorite words are "purple, football..." (um, Grandma?) "...cracker, Halle, hi, bye, Papaw." One of her newest tricks is running...from her mother! Thankfully I can still catch her.

We will soon add to the chaos at our house. We are due with our third baby in May. After a long bout with the flu (or some mysterious sickness) where I thought I would surely die, I have felt great. Easton is not sure what he thinks about it, but I think he'll forgive us if he ends up with a little brother. However, last night, he informed me that, "Ah, Mom, I think the baby will be just like Edie!" Hmmmm....
