A little of this and that.

So here I am 16 weeks pregnant and bigger than I ever was with the other two. (Or at least I feel that way.) But we are doing great and super excited about our new baby coming in March.
Logan and Addy were sick yesterday and I was in charge of Sharing Time in Primary so Spencer stayed home with the kids. I thought this was so cute, Logan decided to do Addy's hair and bless her heart she sat still for a long time.
This little girl is CRAZY!!
She didn't like me interrupting her reading time.
Addy loves, loves, loves books...and she loves them even when I'm not reading them to her.
This is a fun activity she enjoys to do while Logan is at school. I am pretty impressed she makes every single word herself. We lay out all the letters and she has a blast finding the right letters to fit the word.

First Day of Kindergarten

I love this picture. Logan you are so handsome! Soon after this picture when I asked what he learned at school he said "Mom, she didn't teach me how to read." I thought that was so cute! He expected to be taught to read the first day of school. (I told my mom this later and she said Grandpa Allen told his mom the exact same thing his first day of Kindergarten.)

Other cute comments from his first day:

"I didn't even tell the driver where to go, he just drove me right home." (He is used to telling taxi drivers where to take us.)
"I ate my whole sandwich, my whole bag of chips, but I didn't have time for anything else."
"Mom I remembered my lunch box and my backpack." (I reminded him not to forget anything, he was really listening!)
He told me his aides name was "Mr. Skulls" I wondered if that was true and it really is!
I asked Logan who he sat with at lunch and what did they talk about, he said
"Mom my teacher said it's eating time not talking time, so I didn't talk to anyone."
"I thought it was going to be a longer day so that is why I cried this morning but it wasn't that long."

Logan I am so proud of you. I am excited for you and know you are going to have a great year!

They gave him the cutest books and Logan was thrilled because he loves new books. We have read them every night since!
I had to post this picture probably more for me than anyone. Ever since we have met Diana she has spoiled my kids with these chocolates. They love them and get so excited every time.
Diana, Jeff & Sarah bought Logan a present so after getting off the bus we headed to Diana's for his special gift. She is so sweet and made Logan a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, milk, yogurt, so while he ate we asked questions. I was shocked to see how hungry he was. It made for a fun ending to an eventful day. Logan said "everyone is being so nice to me." :-)
Addy was next and then me! :-)
He looked tired when I saw him on the bus but the moment he saw Diana he was one happy camper. She is are grandma here in Korea and we all love her so much. I don't think she will ever truly understand how much she means to me and my family. She was so excited to come and be with us on his first day. He ran straight to her and gave her a huge hug. It made him feel so special so have her there.
I must say I am pretty spoiled Logan's bus drops him off right in front of our apartment. The other thing I like is it is the only stop so he isn't on it forever. Addy had a great day and enjoyed having me all to herself. At lunch it was so quiet I read her books. It was really strange and good at the same time. We had fun going to play outside and taking a walk together. So although Addy didn't have a problem with Logan being gone, she was more than ready to have him come home! Here we are waiting for his bus to come and she was getting frustrated with the wind.
Seoul Korea for Logan's first day of Kindergarten...(who would have thought?)
So right thru this door is where I dropped my little guy off for his first day. I was doing really good until he sat down in his chair and I gave him a hug at told him to have a great day. He then started to softly cry and said "Mommy I am going to miss you so much" it was all I could do to tell him it would be okay and I loved him. Off I went out the door trying to hide my own tears. Spencer was outside waiting and smiled when he saw me crying. I sure am going to miss my buddy!!

Logan you are cute, Grandma Dana & Grandpa Allen sent Logan some cool new outfits for his bday that we saved for school. He thought that was pretty awesome!
Addy had to wear her backpack and be just like her big brother.
This is the playground just put in new this year. Logan is looking forward to playing on it. Part of me wondered if that is what made him excited to go to school.
Spencer was able to take a couple hours off in the morning so we could eat breakfast together and celebrate Logan's big day.
We drove him to school for the 1st day so we could meet Ms. Donaho and show Logan his classroom. It was a day filled with mixed emotions for me.
I still can't believe that Logan has started his schooling for the rest of his LIFE!! Here he is at home all ready for his first day.
School starts at 7:55 am and ends at 2:25. I am glad Logan is an early riser because otherwise I think it would be hard to be up and out that early.
