I really had good intentions, but the reality is, I will never be good at keeping up with this blog. So let me move on and give some updates.... I never went back and updated about the holidays this past year and I think it just comes down to the fact that I want to forget them. It was a tough, tough year for the Logsdon household. We had to put our first, furry baby to sleep on New Year's Eve day. It was the most heart-wrenching, saddest day. Luckily Alyssa was young enough to not know what was going on, but Addison cried. A lot. Brian and I cried, even more. Even after 5 months, Addison will still randomly say she misses Oliver. She says "God Bless Oliver" every night after prayers. So sweet! A puppy is not in our near future as having 2 toddlers keeps us busy enough. However I will say that the Logsdon household will eventually grow to a family of 5 again. We all miss him tremendously, but we know he is running around in heaven, watching us, and waiting for the day we will meet again.
Now about the 2 babies who are growing faster than I can keep up with! Addison will turn 4 in July and we are busy planning her "Hello Kitty" party. We can not figure out where this obsession came from, but it is a pretty intense one. Wait until she sees the BIG surprise we have planned for her party! It will be an extra special party since her Godmother, Aunt Noelle, Uncle Dave, Matthew, and Aunt Lenore will be in town from NJ for the celebration! Another huge milestone that is inching it's way near is the start of Pre-K! I can not even believe that she is going to start preschool. Before I know it, she will be going to Kindergarten and I am certain I WILL be needing tissues that day!
Alyssa is 20 months old and has quite the personality. She is building a vocabulary that would make any teacher proud. She repeats everything- including wine, beer, and any other words she hears Mommy and Daddy say. Simple words like milk are not party of her daily language but broccoli, butterfly, and outside are as clear as day! She is as sweet as can be and LOVES her big sister more than she can express.
We are counting down the days till my summer vacation. 17 days till I get to be a stay at home mom for 1 month. Hoping to get a little vacation in as well as some good quality time with my little girls. Here are a few recent pictures of the girls, As you can see Alyssa is finally getting some hair and Addison has hair- finally! Although I think we were better off when she was bald as she has some unruly curls! Until next time..... I won't even pretend that will be soon! :)

They are getting so big! I cried reading your bit about Oliver, still tearing as I type this... I could never have imagined how hard it would be to let go of our first furry one too. As much as I sobbed before, during and after, I know it was the right thing to do. To Oliver and Mocha, who now run happy and free :)
