We had signed Logan up for a tennis lesson which was supposed to begin last Saturday, but unfortunately the class was cancelled due to rain.  We ended up taking it easy at home the rest of the day.

    On Sunday morning, two of Logan’s friends came over to play.  Maxim joined Logan and Connor running around the house playing with whatever, while Lucas sometimes preferred to just sit down using the school computer program Dreambox or making origami.  Logan and Maxim also played with the remote controlled cars for quite awhile.  Later Lucas suggested playing a game of chess; Connor was happy to join him.  They were playing quietly with each other, and Connor appeared to be making all the proper moves every time I walked by.  Even though Connor was down to the King, he seemed to be proud of what he had accomplished.  Later, Logan also played a game with Lucas too.  All the boys enjoyed popcorn for snacks and sandwiches for lunch.   They had a good morning, and Connor had fun hanging with them.

     In the evening, it was my turn to hang with my girls.  I left Stuart and the boys at home while I went for a dinner with Kathy, Michelle, Robyn, Julie and Theresa to celebrate Kathy and my belated birthdays.  It was a yummy dinner, and as always, we had a great time chatting with each other.  By the time I returned home, the boys had just gone to bed.  I went into the rooms to check on them.  Connor woke up shortly after I stood there staring at him; he held my hand and whispered Mama to me before I tucked him back in.  Logan was sleeping comfortably with his head on one of his stuffed animals.
