Nick's parents took Logan Friday and Saturday night, so we got him back this morning. At some point over that 36 hour period, he finally cut his first tooth! It more than likely happened on Saturday, Daddy's birthday!! Yay!
I will post a picture as soon as I can get one.
Logan is too funny with it. He keeps rubbing his tongue on it like "Hey! How'd that get there!"
My little boy is growing up so fast!!

Hannah
The little girl I posted about the other day, Hannah, got her wings today.
Let's keep her family in our prayers as they go through this tumultuous time. I am thankful that Hannah is happy and healthy in Heaven, I know she will be waiting for them.
Rest peacefully sweet little Hannah.

Christmas 2008
We had a pretty nice Christmas this year considering. We didn't do anything at our house, but we were very happy to be invited to Nick's friend, Ryan's house for Christmas Eve. His family is very very nice, and we enjoy their company quite often. We all snacked on some very yummy appetizers that Ryan's mom, DeeDee made. She is an excellent cook! Then, we participated in the present exchange and got some really cool martini glasses and a mini George Foreman grill! Yay!
Christmas morning, Logan let us sleep until 9 or so (yay!). We hung around the house for a few hours and then went to see my Dad. He had fun with Logan. He really misses him this couple of weeks. Last week with all the snow, I only had school 3 days last week. Plus I am off for the Holidays for 2 weeks. It was great seeing them together. Logan fell asleep on Dad's lap almost right away!
After Dad's house, we went to Nick's aunt Carrie's house. Carrie, Brett, Maureen, Randy, us, Pat, Grandma Keogh, Barb and Penny, Penny's mom, Mike, Valerie, and Tammy were all there. We had a very nice dinner. Logan got spoiled by everyone, and we got a few new outfits, toys, and other things for him. In the gift exchange, Nick and I got a very nice set of steak knives for the new house! Yay!
So, all in all it was a very nice Christmas. We move into the new house on Thursday, the 1st. We get the keys on Monday, so I will be moving small boxes for the first few days of the week. I can't wait to be home!!
Today is Nick's birthday, so a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY! to the most wonderful man in my life. I love you!! (sorry you only have one more year until the big 3-0!)
Here are some pictures for your enjoyment. :)

Wow two posts in one day!!
As I am sitting here relaxing from a long hectic teething day with Logan, he and Daddy are asleep in the bedroom. This past week, since I've been out of school, I have been cruising around my baby message board a lot more than usual. I belong to babycenter.com and have found tremendous support and encouragement (and fun!)from the ladies there.
A couple of little girls have been brought to my attention, and they could use all the prayers and well wishes that we can give them.
The first one is Hannah. She was born in July 2007 and is very very sick. This is taken from Hannah's CarePage:
This page was created for Hannah Eileen Salcher (a.k.a. Panda). Hannah was diagnosed with MPS Type I on June 30, 2008- one week before her first birthday. Hannah and her mom came to Chicago on May 30, 2008 for an appointment with a specialist at Children's Hospital to be evaluated for sagittal craniosynostosis (premature closure of the sagittal suture of the skull). She was diagnosed with sagittal craniosynostosis at the beginning of June, but the doctors thought there was something more. After lots of testing MPS was diagnosed. It's possible that Hannah will need skull reconstruction but we are taking one thing at a time right now. Through Hannah's care page we hope to keep family members updated on her condition and network with others who are affected by MPS.
MPS is an acronym for a rare genetic disorder called mucopolysaccharidosis. Basically, Hannah's body is lacking an enzyme necessary to break down molecules called glycosaminoglycans - long chains of sugar carbohydrates in each of our cells that help build bone, cartilage, tendons, corneas, skin and connective tissue. Over time, these glycosaminoglycans collect in the cells, blood and connective tissues. The result is permanent, progressive cellular damage which affects appearance, physical abilities, organ and system functioning and in most cases, mental development.
Her carepage link is: http://www.carepages.com/carepages/HannahEileenSalcher/patient
A lot of moms on BabyCenter are praying for Hannah to pull through! Please join us!
The next little girl is Kayleigh. She was born very prematurely and has been struggling for her life since her birth on June 23 2008. She is only 3 weeks older than Logan, yet so tiny and fragile. Her family felt for sure last week that they were losing her, but she is showing how much of a fighter she is and hanging on!! It definitely shows the power of prayer.

Please keep these two beautiful little girls close to your hearts in the coming weeks. I'm glad they will both see Christmas. Let's get them home!!!

Christmas is upon us!!
Things have been crazy around here, sorry for having no recent posts! As soon as we get moved and settled, I will make sure and write more often. Here are a few pictures of Logan (5 months old!) and the new house!! Enjoy! Have a great Holiday season!
Trying to crawl!!
Outside in the snow for the very first time! Logan giving us a look like... what the heck are we doing out here??
The snow outside! We got about 9 inches.. but it looks like it is raining right now, so it is quickly disappearing! That took about a week to accumulate!
Logan is so big now! He sticks his binky in all by himself!!!
Sitting up on his own!! YAYY!
I guess that is about it for now! I think we will have a tooth by Christmas. I can feel a bump on his lower gums, and he is chewing and drooling even more than usual! He is also not sleeping very well.. the past two nights he's been up the majority of them both.
Have a great Christmas everyone!
Edited! I realized I promised pictures of the new house but forgot to add any! Forgive me! Here are a few of my favorites.
Well.. I will have to get back to you guys.. Photobucket is down right now. :(

General Updates!
Sorry I haven't posted in awhile!! Life has been keeping me busy. School is going great! I just finished my first quarter back, and got a 4.0. :) I'm the president of the college's PC User's Club, and we are holding three fundraisers right now, plus having meetings with presentations every week. I also started an employee interviewing class. That one is pretty interesting.
This past week, I returned to work at the Old Spaghetti Factory. It is nice to be able to have a job, but it was kind of bittersweet going back.
We also found out this week that Nick, Logan and I will be moving! Pat is taking over the mortgage, so Nick and I found a very nice updated townhouse! It is only one bedroom, but there is an attached office area with walk in closet where we will put Logan. We get the keys on the 29th, so we are very excited!
Other than that, I'm just trying to pack, work, school, take care of Logan, and finish all of our Christmas gifts! There just aren't enough hours in the day!!
