Silly Faces & Moments

What else needs to be said?!!

Baby toes are just delicious. And if it's not her feet in her mouth....

It's both of her hands. No, it can't be just one!

Logan and Natalie's first bath together. After I got Natalie out and dressed, and went to get Logan out, this is what I found! Logan was so proud of himself!

Since we've told Logan he's too big to sit in Natalie's Bumbo, I guess he decided to be creative and figure out something else to do with it!

Cereal & Sitting

There's nothing better than a baby's face the first time they eat rice cereal! And can I say...WHAT A MESS!

Natalie is learning to sit up! Of course mom was right there for any tip overs, which happened quite a lot. What's a little ironic is that Logan first learned to sit up on this bed as well!

Logan's First Day of Preschool

On Logan's 1st day of preschool he sat at our front window watching anxiously for the big yellow bus to pick him up. When it pulled up, he ran out the door and barely looked back for a picture! He's been so excited for this day. The only tear shed was from his mother.

Can you see the smile on his face as he got off the bus after preschool!? He loved it and had a great day with Ms. Michelle.

Haircut Anyone?

Do you think Logan needed a haircut?!

Thank heavens for Julie!

Summer 2009--The Beginning

We have been enjoying our summer! It's been busy with Natalie's blessing, Logan's 3rd birthday, the Bennett vacation on the beach in San Diego, and lot's of swimming! Logan even took swimming lessons and had a great time. So enjoy the pictures!

Easter in Pictures

I figured you would rather see what we did for Easter than me tell you about it, so enjoy the pictures!








Thanks for the fun Matt, Beth and Ryan!

Before & After--OOPS!

Logan didn't quite know what to think of the chicks at first...he was finally warming up to them, and then one pooped on his pants. We were done after that! Thanks Aunt Kellie for getting the chicks!

Natalie's first Easter Dress. It was also her first day at church; it was a perfect day! This was Logan's first time holding Natalie as well...it was his idea and he did really well until he decided he was done and just about pushed her on the floor!

Yes, We Are Alive!

I know that many of you have been checking our blog, probably almost weekly (HAHAHA), hoping for updates and new posts. Well, I have to admit that since we got back from China, I figured there wasn't anything nearly as exciting as that to report about, so I let it go by the wayside. That is until now...

We had our baby girl on Wednesday, March 25, 2009! Natalie Bennett arrived at 5:24pm, weighing in at 6lbs 11oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. Eric and I were both surprised to see a head full of dark hair! She's been absolutely perfect. She's so tiny, we only have 3 outfits that fit her, and at night we have to dress her in some preemie sleepers we had from Logan, even though they are blue and have trucks and buses on them! She's finally starting to gain some weight and as much as I would like her to stay tiny forever, I'm excited for her to put on a couple more pounds so I can start dressing her in all the cute clothes I've been given.

We only stayed in the hospital one night; we were anxious to come home and be with our Logan and start adjusting him to his new way of life. We are so happy to see how well he's done. He absolutely loves her. He's always very concerned about her, where she is, why she's crying, and checks in on her often when she's sleeping. That's not to say he's tested us as his parents, but at least he loves his "Madaee".

Natalie had her first bath on Thursday, April 2...we were hurrying to get done so we could watch the series finale of ER. :) She LOVED it and didn't even make a whimper. She's going to be just like her brother who loves to take his tubbie daily, and would do it more often if we let him.

Finally, I had to post this adorable picture of Logan. We knew that eventually he would have to fill his dad's shoes and take over the Star Wars tradition, but who knew it would be this soon? He even knows and sings the theme song...heaven help me now! :) Maybe it will be good to have some girl & pink influence in our home!
