Logan's Friend Xander

I know this is silly to be weepy about but I honestly did get weepy...............back when Logan was in soccer he made a friend named Xander. He would always talk about him and call him his "best friend". After soccer we started T-ball and Xander and Logan were on the same team. Xander invited Logan to his 4th birthday party. Logan was sooooo excited. When I saw Logan opening the invitation to his party, I seriously teared up. yes Logan has friends that he adores. I guess what I teared up about is that this is his first friend that he made on his own and that we did not know the parents beforehand. This is his first friend that he made. I know that sounds really silly, but all of the friends that Logan had (which he loves) are kids of our friends. We went to Xander's birthday party on Sunday and Marc and I were actually a little nervous because we did not know ANYONE (except Xander's wonderful parents) there. Everyone was really nice and Logan had a BLAST playing with all his new friends. Xander and his family live really close to us and are member of the YMCA so we will be getting together more. heck they may even go to pre-school together :) I dont know what it made me tear up but I feel like we have reached the age where he starts making friends and it makes me sad that he is not little anymore. However that being said, this is an AMAZING age and I love all the the milestones he is making. So, here is to more friends and more memories that come along and make me cry :) I will post pictures from T-ball with Logan and Xander and a couple of the birthday party.

Goodbye Uncle John

We received a call from Florida on July 2 that Marc's Uncle John passed away in his sleep. He had not been to work in 2 days and the hotel where he worked at for 25 years sent a police officer to the house to check and they found him in bed. It was extremely devistating to our family since we were just there 2 months ago visiting him and had a amazing trip. To that, we are thankful. He lived a great life and took care of his mother until 3 years ago when she passed away. I am gld to have known him and to have spent time with him. He was such a great son, brother and uncle. He will truely be missed. Marc flew to Florida on July 7 and came home july 12. We decided not to make Logan make the trip because it would not be very much fun for him. Alot of sitting around and taking care of things. I took the week off of work and spent time with Logan. The funeral was nice and Marc got to meet up with some family members. His mom stayed in Florida to take care of some legal issues. To our surprise, Marc was left in charge of just about everything down there and will have to make other trips to discuss legal issues. We miss you Uncle John!!!!
