Logan's B-day Celebration!!






Logan will turn 11 in a few weeks--we decided to have a tailgate party at a College of Wooster football game for his bday this year--we were so incredibly lucky--it was beautiful--I mean it isn't often that you can have a 60+ degree day in Ohio at the beginning of November. We didn't need coats at all. Logan wanted Nerf stuff and his buddies came through for him in a BIG way!! We can't hardly believe how truly blessed we are--thinking back to the Neo-natal unit--we had been prepared by the Doctor's for all that could be wrong with him--but for all we worried about--he was this tiny perfect little baby boy. He was just so small and wouldn't gain any weight. We spent alot of time waiting for those magical 15 minutes every 3 hours when he would be allow out of his Isolette and we would be able to hold & feed him. I begged to have him home. And some days when we have that 5th grade attitude going--it's hard to remember that all our prayer's were answered and he is our own personal miracle. We love you Logan Matthew!!


Halloween








Halloween is always fun--our kids love to dress-up--and really getting candy--an added bonus!!!!! Lauryn was going to be a Greek Goddess--we had to do a costume for a school project--she had to dress up and give a report. It was a great costume--but not quite enough coverage in the Goddess outfit to get through evening trick-or-treat in Ohio!! Luckily we had one of Larry's old costumes and she was a scarecrow!!! Logan's costume was awesome!!! He was a headless and carrying his head in a jar. I have to tell you--he won a costume contest--he got a trophy for 1st place--so if you are keeping track--and trust me Logan is--that is 2 trophies in a week!!! Logan's friend Elvis--oops--I mean Chris went with them to get loot.

Giants win the FFootball Championship!!!!!!





Ok--So our flag football team won the championship. They played the Steeler's--it was a great game. We were up in the 4th quarter and the Steeler's were driving down the field to score--they were in striking distance--when the ball is intercepted in the end zone by---LOGAN!!!!!!! Here are picture's of the team--and of Logan getting his trophy from his coach.

End of the Season










Here are some pictures of our favorite #14!! The 7th grade Volleyball team finished their season in second place. The Lady Riders were 15 -4. It was tough to see them lose their final game of the tournament to West Holmes--although they were the only team to have beaten West Holmes at all during season. They had a great year and really played as a team. It was fun to see them develop their skills and we look forward to next year--but for now it is on to Basketball!!!



Football



Logan played on the Giants this season--his team is playing in the championship game on Thursday. They will be playing against the Steelers--who they beat on the day these pictures were taken!!! GO GIANTS!!!!
