Two Months Old and the Terrible Two's

We took Logan to his two month check up and he passed with flying colors. He was 14lbs and 2 ft and 5 inches long; putting him in the 90th%. So far Mara is the runt with only getting in the 75% to 80% at best! I would post a picture of him, but I can't get the darn pictures to download. He looks a lot like Lexi did when she was a baby. He has very fare skin, blond hair and his eyes are getting more blue each day. We are lucky because he sleeps through the night already; now if his older sisters would follow his example that would be great!

We are getting ready to experience our first Minnesota winter. I bought the girls winter coats yesterday and they were excited. Lexi keeps asking when the snow is coming so she can build a snow man. For a girl that hates the cold I don't know if she really knows what she is asking for.

Mara is talking more and more each day and manifesting that she is turning two more and more each day. She loves to color and paint. The problem is she painted our house with Lexi's water colors and drew pictures with markers on the furniture. Luckily they come off easily. She also loves to take away toys from Lexi and run off with them laughing. She is a ham and a tease! Hopefully Nate will help me with the darn pictures so I can post some of Logan and of the girls in their Halloween costumes.

Logan Nathaniel Lund

Logan Nathaniel Lund was born 8/26 at 8:57 A.M. He was 9 pounds and 10 oz. We ended up doing a scheduled C-Section because he was breech. So far he is a laid back baby that loves to be swaddled and loves his pacifier. The girls are really enjoying their baby brother and helping any chance they can to make sure he is happy.


Here is a song from Lexi and a kiss from Mara to you!

One Month in Minnesota

Minnesota is wonderful! The move went as good as any move could go. I am 30 weeks pregnant now, and would not recommend moving while pregnant to anyone! ( This is the second time we have moved when I have been pregnant. ) The picture above was taken at the Como Zoo. It is a free Zoo. We took everyone there and went on a picnic after seeing the animals.




The girls are starting to interact a lot more and play together which has been a lot of fun to watch. The top picture we were watching Mara's favorite movie, "Tangled" and they sat so nicely together. The bottom picture; Lexi told us Mara was crying, but we brushed it off. Before we went to bed we checked on them and Lexi had her arm around Mara to comfort her. It was very sweet.


One of my goals is to teach Lexi a few things before Kindergarten. So we counted and pasted beans to the piece of paper. (Unfortunately she reminds me of me when it comes to learning. She is very stubborn and opinionated.) After she had completed the activity she wanted to share her completed work with everyone.


For Graduation and Father's Day Nate was given a bike and trailer to pull the girls in. The girls need to wear helmets, so Mara inherited Lexi's old helmet. It's a little big, but will work for now.



We bought the girls bunk beds and they both have really loved them. Lexi refers to it as her "ladder". Mara has adjusted very well to sleeping in a real bed. She reminds us more and more each day of her cousin Kameron. He has a blanket he is attached to, Mara has followed in his footsteps. She pulls some of the same faces he does. Its been a lot of fun to see her personality come out more and more.

Our ward and neighbors have been very kind and welcoming. It has rained quite a bit and been fairly cool, but we are still having fun with all of the different trails, lakes and parks. The humidity has not been too bad, but there have been days when it has been pretty high. For example the picture above is how Lexi woke up one morning. Her hair might remind you of the orphan Annie.

On the move to Minnesota!

Nate is graduating from grad school on the 14th and 4 days later we are moving to Minneapolis Minnesota! We are very excited and very busy trying to get everything ready. Luckily my mother in law has been watching the girls so I can pack up the house and get everything ready in a timely manner. I owe her big time! A lot of changes and a lot of fun at the same time. Everyone is doing great!

On a disappointing note, I broke our new camera! We went to the zoo and the water bottle leaked all over it. One day we will have a camera again and I will post pictures.
