Merry Christmas

Christmas this year was rather enjoyable! Todd didn't get carried away with the drinking (surprisingly) and actually got along with my family considering that they all have their guards up with him being that just this thanksgiving I tried to leave him! We had a good time Christmas eve, played cards and games, had dinner, opened presents it was a really awesome! Logan made out like a bandit! My entire living room floor is covered in new toys but he doesn't seem that interested unless I am sitting on the floor playing with them too. He still thinks that opening the top of the printer/scanner is fun, must discover what is behind the TV, and to see if he can shake the lamp until the shade can come off. I'm excited though! I have a co-worker that I moved in across the hall from me and she has a little girl that is 5 months older than Logan and she will be coming over to play today! sometimes I think that Logan just needs someone to play with and that's why he gets so bored easily! Well I guess today we will see! Other than that nothing much new! My brother called from Iraq and was really homesick! We toasted him at dinner. I really miss him lately! We haven't been close since started school in kindergarten, he made new friends and didn't want anything to do with me! But it was all good! We fought alot! Absolute opposites in every way possible! But now that he went over there he has learn the importance of family and we have gotten much closer! And he says that he misses Logan the most! He's missing a year of his life and can't stand it! But it will be okay! Well to everyone, hope you had a great Christmas and that all is well with you! Take care!

Baby's first Christmas

Here we are in Minnesota, the week of Christmas and when my little town in the middle of nowhere looks outside the window we see nothing but dead grass! Now my feelings on this is mixed! Since we are now the caretakers of an apartment building we are required to shovel the walks (Had to do that once this year) record snow plows coming through and have all the tenants move their vehicles when the plow arrives (0). On the other hand this is the first year that I can remember that the song I'm dreaming of a white Christmas has had some truth! I live in Minnesota! The first snow fall is pretty special but after that I'm over it! We usually spend a good 7-8 months with the stuff and you just kinda get over it! But I'm so tired of looking at dead grass! My birthday was pretty good! Todd's dad came back from California and found out it was my birthday and went to his car and took out a portable DVD player that he had bought Logan for Christmas and decided that it was mine! I looked it up and I can't believe how much money that he was spending on my child! He's 10 months! He doesn't need a DVD player! Can we say spoiled child? Other than that it's still been pretty quiet around here! Not that I am complaining of course! To everyone, have a merry Christmas and hope all is well with you!

Birthday Week

Logan's pic
As of this week I am starting my birthday week. Last year I was pregnant so I didn't get to do anything fun! Plus Todd and I were in the biggest fight! nothing really going on around here! We made a home video to send to my brother over in iraq. We are getting closer to having everything back in order at the apartments, and lately no fighting with Todd! So the soap opera is having a slow week! :) Any way hope all is well with everyone! Later.

Still working

Things have gotten relatively better since Thanksgiving but I am only giving him partical credit! he's still trying to be on good behavior but who knows! I have a friend right now and she just told her husband that she was filing for divorce and it's getting ugly! He doesn't have a job, by his own choice and is starting to take things so that she doesn't take what is rightfully hers and he wants to hurt her and watching her being hurt is scarying me! I don't want to go through that! But if it is necassary I will! right now I am just being close to my phone to help her through this! I've been there all the way! Even 4am trips to let her cry on my shoulder! But I know that it's worth it because I love her and I know she will be there for me if the time should come! Well I have new pics of Logan but I can't tell how to do anything with this new posting page so it will have to wait! Sorry! Until then! Take cared!
