Logan at Church and Home

Logan is getting some new teeth in, but it does not appear to be slowing him down. Logan seems to be enjoying his Sunday school class better and did not cry this past week.


Trip to buy New Winter Coats



We decided last weekend to take a trip to Cabelas in PA to buy the kids new winter coats, boots and snow pants. Logan and Madison both enjoyed all of the animals in the store, but did not like trying on their coats or boots.

Madison's Fieldtrip




This Week Madison had her 1st Fieldtrip with Mrs. Maclay's class. We went to the Sunhigh Orchard to pick Apples.

NYC Double Decker Bus Tour!






This weekend we visited NYC and took a tour of the city on the Double-Decker Bus. It was chilly on Saturday morning (mid-60s), but the sun came out and we had a great day. We took the train into the city and started our day with a brisk walk from Penn Station to Time Square. We have made that walk several times, but we are always seeing something new.




Our tour started in Time Square and then we headed towards Macy's Department Store. The store takes up an entire NYC block and is the largest department store. Then we went to the Empire State Building. We decided to go up in the building on a different trip. We then headed towards Battery Park and the Site of the World Trade Towers. We decided to get off the bus and spend some time in Battery Park. You can see Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty from here. The boat ride to both of those are going to be a trip to themselves later for us.




We then headed to the South Street Seaport, where you can see the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan Bridge. We went through Chinatown, Little Italy, the Financial District, Greenwich Village and SoHo. We saw the United Nations Building. Apparently when they are in session, the flags fly in alphabetical order ( we all are learning something). There are lots of place to see and visit in each of these areas. The buildings and areas are absolutley great to see and visit.




We ended at Rockefeller Center and a trip to the American Girl Store. For Madison's Birthday, she wanted to visit the American Girl Store. We took Pammy to the doll hospital to be fixed and then took Nellie to have her hair done. As usual, Madison ended up with too much, but we both had a great time. Shawn and Logan went walking around and visited a couple of hat stores. There was no Alabama hat to be found!!

What fun!



Madison has enjoyed playing dress up with her Hannah Montana wig this week. Logan caught a virus this week, so he has not been up to much.

Madison's First Day of School



Madison started school today and had a great time. She already wants to ride the bus to and from school. She is going to ride the bus home on Friday to try it out.

Madison has celebrated for days!

Madison's Party

We had a great time seeing everyone at the party.

Our trip to Tennessee

We enjoyed our week in Tennessee visiting with family and friends. While we were there, we went to Chucky Cheese, Sun Sphere, Fountains at World's Fair Park, and the pool. We celebrated Madison's 6th Birthday with everyone with a party at the pool.
