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.

We are still here...

I can't figure out how to download the pictures from our new camera, which is why it has taken me so long to do a new post. Here are a few things that have been happening in our little family...

Nate...is almost done with Grad school!!! That is very exciting and I can hardly wait until May when he has his diploma!

Dre...pregnant with baby #3 due on September 3rd. I am having a hard time keeping up with everything, but I just keep telling myself everything will work out and be alright.

Lexi...finished her first round of swimming lessons and made huge progress. She was able to float on her back all by herself. The next step is for her to put her head under water longer than 1/10 of a second. It was a lot of fun to watch her learn and feel so accomplished.

Mara...walking everywhere and is a ham! She has three bottom teeth and will stick them out, scrunch up her nose and grin. She can say; backpack, mama, dada, Lexi and tata (cracker).

Things are going great here. Hopefully I will post some pictures soon.
