Spring has finally hit opening up a whole new world for Logan to explore. We tried to get some cute pictures of him in the flowers, but he was more interested in playing with them. Last weekend, Alex's mom, grandparents, Uncle John and cousin Kyle came over on Friday night to play cards. Alex and I played in a 4s tournament on Saturday while Grandma Ginny watched Logan. It was nice because it was the first time we've gotten to play together in a while. On Sunday, we went to church in the morning and then did some relaxing the rest of the day.


This week has been a little hectic. Alex had found out that he has to head to North Carolina for work and we decided that it might be fun to all head down in the motorhome and camp while Alex is there for the job. We thought it would be at the beginning of May, but for once they are ahead of schedule and he needs to be there by next Wednesday. So, we have been frantically trying to get the motorhome ready to go. We're not sure how long we'll be down there, but it could be as much as a month. I may fly back with Logan if we get busy at work, but as of now we are planning on staying with Daddy the whole time.

My mom came down on Tuesday to help with the baby so I could get some work done. We still tried to do our playdates throughout the week since Logan won't see his friends for so long. We also had the parent's group meeting at our house on Wednesday night. This was our first meeting without a speaker. It went well and we're trying to plan some fun things throughout the summer.

We took dinner over to Alex's grandparents on Friday night. Grandma had foot surgery earlier in the week. They had to remove a good portion of her heal. Depending on how the biopsy goes, she might have to be off her feet for as much as 2 months so we wanted to see them before we left. Aunt Marcia was there and she gave Logan a really cool bubble machine as an early birthday gift. We went back over to Grandma and Grandpa's on Saturday morning to have breakfast with them, Alex's cousin Tommy, Hillary and baby Tommy. They just moved back to Michigan. Tommy was born 5 weeks after Logan so it's going to be a lot of fun having them grow up together.

I had an appointment to get my hair cut on Saturday afternoon, so Alex took Logan to Babies R' Us to get some things we decided we had to have for our camping trip. He got a really nice all-terrain jogging stroller and a hiking baby carrier backpack. We went to church on Sunday morning and Nate came over that night to help build a cover for the step in the motorhome so I don't have to worry about Logan tumbling out the door. So, it was a pretty eventful weekend but we did actually get a lot of stuff done. It's amazing how much more room we have in the motorhome when everything is organized..I guess that's true with most things though:)

In other big news, Grandma and Grandpa Helsom both celebrated their birthdays this past week. Grandma turned 58 on the 13th and Grandpa turned the big 6-0 on the 21st. They are going to come camping with us on their way back from Florida the first week in May. So, we'll be able to celebrate then!
