Cosmo

Poor Cosmo has been hobbling around the house off and on.  One day, his legs gave out on him, and he couldn't even stand up.  Then a few minutes later he was fine and has been OK other than some occasional limping. .  Sometimes only bearing weight on 3 legs.  Poor guy - we're hoping it's not hip dysplasia. 

Update: June 14 - He's got an ACL injury.  He's got pain meds for now, and he'll go in for x-rays tomorrow.  Cross everything you've got and hope that it won't require surgery.

Puppy Love

These two have just discovered each other.  They are in love!

What? Rain in winter?

Logan was flabbergasted to learn today that it could be possible to have rain in the winter time.  We had a quiet morning in, then the usual skating lessons.  Wow - is Logan ever taking off on the ice!  He literally runs through the obstacle courses they have set up.   

What is this??  Go ahead.  Guess.

That would be a macro shot of Cozzie's bad hair day!  This was about an hour and a half after he'd come inside from the rain - LOL!

Logan wanted to pose...

And Avery had fun watching her big brother at skating.

Last year, Logan cried every Sunday when it was time for skating.  He had a good time once he was there, but he wouldn't move, either.  He literally went every week, cried, got on the ice, and stood there holding hands with one of the helpers.  So frustrating to watch because many of them weren't even trying to get him moving.  Anyways...it's unbelievable what a difference a year makes.  Look at my little Team Canada speed skater at 'em today!

Man's best friend.

You have to love how a Golden Retriever will be loyal to his boy, through just about any humiliation the boy can bring about.

Quiet day at home

Logan was at school today - he and his friend Nicky were soooo excited to meet up at the bus stop this morning!!  They really love being around each other, even if they might be arguing half the time over who gets what toy.  Oh well, that's just what 4 and 5 year old boys do!  We didn't do anything exciting today - groceries, went to the bank then home and made some phone calls.  Then Avery and I got to do the best thing in the world - have an afternoon nap.  Ahhh...gotta love cuddling up under layers of blankets for a nice long nap on a cold winter day.  Heavenly!

Pic for the day.  Cosmo and his "baby".  Poor baby has been shown some tough love in the week or two he's been around.  The poor thing is now minus two eyes, a collar and a few other accessories along with several patches of fur.  He gets tons of attention though - Cozzie carries him everywhere.  It's so cute!

I'm going to try and incorporate a new idea here as well.  I always forget the funny, cute and downright silly things that Logan says - even though I thought I'd always remember them.  So, I'm going to start including a quote or funny little thing from him each day (or when I think of it!).  I'll include some cuteness from Avery, too.

Logan funny:

After being told to start getting undressed for bed...

Him - (head down and nose scrunched up)  "Mommy - I've never heard such a bunch of naughty talkers like you and daddy!"  

me - "what do you mean?  I'm naughty because I told you it was time to get ready for bed?"

him - "yes!  Sometimes when you talk to me, it makes me VERY disappointmented."
