Poor Logan...

Since Sydney came along, Logan definitely feels that she is getting the short end of the stick. Can't blame her really. She used to get our undivided attention, plenty of one on one interaction, more really good walks than she gets these days and when the camera came out she would sit pretty to pose. I'd like to say that we have done a good job of balancing our attention, but really we haven't. There was even a time when Sydney was about four months old that I was willing to give Logan away (but only to Grandma & Grandpa because I really didn't want to lose her).

I promised myself that this weekend we would do something that Logan really likes. A walk on the trails where she can run free & chase squirrels. Well we did do that yesterday, but do you think I took one picture of Logan to show how much she liked it....no! My friend Laura, her little guy Hayden, and their dog Guinness came with us too. The trails are here in town & they are maintained by the community and have signs posted to advise that it is a leash free zone. I think Logan and Guiness loved it, but I have no picture to prove it. So instead I have posted one of my favourite pictures of Sydney & Logan...and vow to have a Logan only post some day soon!

So, although yet again Logan was excluded from the photo op. ...Sydney & Hayden were not. It really was a momentous day though. It marked the first time that Sydney successfully shared her "chariot". My friend Tara and I went for a walk a couple of months ago & tried to have Sydney & Evelyn sit together in this stroller...but no go! The camera was with us hoping to get some shots, but with both girls screaming we thought the people around us would think we were horrible mothers by letting our children cry just so we could get a picture. Brad is already looking out for his little girl & thinks Hayden is trying to feel up Sydney's inner thigh...Hayden you naughty little boy! :) Oh yeah...I made Brad push the kids yesterday while Laura & I gabbed. Lots of hills, roots, and logs to work his way over...great workout! The kids didn't seem to mind and actually the bumpier the ride got, the bigger Hayden's smile got (although not when I was pointing the camera at him!).

Once we let the kids out to play in the leaves, this is the closest shot I could get of the two of them before the battery died in the camera. Still pretty cute though. I can't believe Logan or Guiness did not even make it into the background of a picture...man, poor Logan. She used to pose when the camera came out. Now she will hardly lift her head.
