Nothing major to report today. Logan spent the weekend at his grandparents' house in Oil City. It sounds like he had a great time - he even slept in until 8:30 Sunday morning! That's almost unheard of! His Grammy and Grandpa Smith wear him out. Plus they give him lots of great, homemade food which of course he loves. We're going to send him up there more often to fatten him up.

I'm at my new job now. Things are going fine; slowly but fine. I'm getting used to the 30-minute commute but it's going to take time. It's a lot less than a lot of people have so I need to remember that. :-) Everything is going well for Dallas at the United Way. He's very busy but happy overall.

Logan wasn't really in a great mood yesterday at daycare (aka "school"). I think he just didn't want to be there - he wanted to back at with his grandparents. He was cranky on the way home but after a little nap he was fine again. We're leaving for Myrtle Beach, SC on Saturday morning. My Mom, Dallas, Logan and I are flying on USAirways through Charlotte. We're hoping Logan does as well on this trip as he did on the one to Boston. We're expecting him to love the beach because he already loves water and being outside. I should have some good pictures from the trip when we get back.

We just signed on with another landscaper and this one, hopefully, will actually do the work. He seems very legit and we even went to his nursery over the weekend to pick out plants and trees. The best thing is that he doesn't want any money up front so we won't get shafted again. No word yet on the lawsuit against the crooked guy but it's coming. We're going to try our best to get our money back from him.

We're also trying to get a deck built. We've got another builder coming tomorrow evening. So, HOPEFULLY by my birthday in early October we'll have the outside of the house taken care of. Then we'll be able to concentrate on the inside. Whoever said having a new house isn't a lot of work??

So that's about it for now. Hopefully Logan is having a good day at school today and we'll have a nice night tonight. Our friend Terry Sue is coming over tomorrow night and bringing take-out so that should be fun. We love company so anyone reading this, please come on by! :-) Take care.
