Bonnie and I used to like pull out a board or card game every now and then, but since Logan arrived we haven’t played that much.  We are now trying to change that and get back in the swing of things again.  Memoir ’44 is one of our favorite games.  I like it because it’s War based strategy based on real events…Bonnie likes it because she usually beats me.
However, I’ve found a new opponent, (but I think he’s cheating)

I’m not sure if you’ve noticed..…but Logan has become an overnight sensation.  His pictures are showing up all over town!   I guess this part of his ongoing journey to male model greatness that started in his early weeks.

Here’s some snapshots of Logan’s posters out in the wild.  Let us know if you see others.

     Logan had his first day of Daycare today.  It was actually more of a trial run since he only stayed there for less than two hours, and Bonnie was hanging out nearby (and filling out paperwork). 

     Overall Logan behaved well.  He sat in a chair most of the time and just watched what was going on around him.  He did cry a bit during feeding time, not sure what that was about.  Maybe the bottle wasn’t warm enough, or maybe he isn’t used to being fed by someone other than Bonnie or myself.  In the end he seemed to prefer being bottle fed from his chair rather than being held…maybe it was because he got to sit next to mommy.

     His real first full day is planned for the 10th, but Bonnie plans on taking him in for a few more half-days to build him up to it (or maybe just to help prepare us for our little one not being around).

Logan says "oooh oooh eeee eeee ahhh ahhh".   (Pictured here with his yoga buddy Syrus)

We are planning on staying home and handing out candy tonight, but if the weather is clear maybe we can pop over to Scott & Dee’s to see the twins all dressed up.

PS.  If you are looking for things to do this weekend?  You could:

– Recover from Halloween candy gluttony
– Clean out your Gutters
– Get a Flu Shot
– Set Clocks back
– Check your Smoke alarms
– Vote Early, Vote Often

      Bonnie and Logan had a fun day out this afternoon.  She drove them out to Castro Valley to meet some friends she hadn’t seen since back in her Oakland Children’s Hospital days.  They went out to lunch, hung out and caught up on recent happenings. I heard that Logan was a good boy the whole time.  He slept on the drive up…and also the drive back.  Hopefully it’s a sign of things to come for our trip to LA on Thanksgiving.

     Tonight we went to get our flu shots at Kaiser.  6:30pm turned out to be a good time as there was no line.   Since, Logan’s too young for this vaccine he just watched patiently as Mommy and Daddy were brave and hardly whimpered when the big needle stuck them.  I never had to do this stuff when I was single.

We had a big night out on Saturday.  It was Julie’s 30th birthday and was being hosted at a nice restaurant in Los Gatos.  This was a chance for us to get semi-dressed up and act like adults (which we don’t do much).  We arrived on time and got a great parking spot, which means I didn’t need to lug him in the car seat too far. (Logan+CarSeat = strained arms).  We didn’t quite time Logan’s schedule exactly as we wanted it (ie right after a feeding is usually the good time), but he was still on his almost-best behavior.

     The party having it’s own room in the restaurant made us really comfortable with Logan being present.  After we arrived Logan was still awake so he was able to meet some people for the first time.  He had a bit of a cry when a few folks held him, but that was understandable as he was a bit tired, he’s not used to others holding him yet, and Robert is scary looking.  After Logan’s meet-and-greet round, Bonnie put him down to sleep in his car seat.  Luckily Theresa had snagged us a good table in the corner of the room, so we had a cool sleeping corner for Logan and Mckayla.

     The food was great, and the Changs must have done a lot of preparation to setup the activities (ie "Julie Jeopardy" and the kids gift bags).  Logan (and us) had a great time and he even got to stay up past his normal bedtime.

So Happy Birthday Julie! "Old School" is now officially old.

ps.  Some pics of the event are available in our October Gallery.

pps.  Looks like I got the blogging scoop on this story as the other Blogs react slowly to this big event.
