School starts back up tomorrow after a week off for spring break. It has been a fun time spending the week with my family, other than the last couple of days I spent writing a paper and reading. It's always difficult to go back to a rigorous routine after a break.

So.....In this picture, We kept hearing Logan say, "uh-oh, uh-oh" This is a new favorite phrase of his. When we looked to see what he was saying "uh-oh" about, we noticed something coming out of his pant leg.....Yep, his diaper. He was crying until he got it out. I could pass up the opportunity to take this picture though.

Also, Mandi lost her cell phone the other day. It was extremely difficult because she gets phone calls all the time and my phone rarely gets any one on the other end. Anyways, Mandi offered a dollar to whomever could find it followed up by a bigger offer of taking the finder to McDonald's. Well, we had a friend over for dinner last night and we had pretty much given up the search and had consigned ourselves to having to go to t mobile to get a new one, when we heard a faint beep. The beep was Mandi's phone signaling the death of her battery. Looking everywhere for the beep we pulled out the fridge and...nothing. Mandi's friend found it on the floor after pushing the fridge back. It turns out that the space under the fridge is a favorite storage place for Logan.

After finding the phone, mandi was obviously excited, Austin started to cry. We asked him what was wrong. He was sad that he didn't find the phone because he wanted to go to McDonald's. He'll probably get to go this week at some point.

Just a side note to add to the ordeal of Mandi's lost phone (In addition to this, Mandi dropped her hairdryer into the toilet, which added to the stress:

We tend to lose a lot of things in our home, usually through the help of our kids. We say a lot of prayers to help us find things and the Lord, always answers our prayers. When we first moved here, we lost our remote control. We waited a few days and ended up buying a new one. We found it this week under our bed. We always question why the Lord takes so long to answer prayers.

It seems to be the same answer each time to this question: He will always answer!!!! We just need to be patient and trust Him.

I concur about the diaper thing that is... I can't tell you how many times my little boy's diaper has come out this way... Usually though, I tell him to pull up his pants because he has a little plumber going on... but that only works if his diaper isn't super heavy and/or coming out the bottom of his pant leg.

PS. I'm Mandi's friend from NH, so you don't know me... but perspectives from a father are intriguing.
