Sorry for the lag in anything to read, true-believers! February was insanely busy w/ a bunch of new products at work and (a lot more fun) MY BOYS TURNING A YEAR OLD!!! That's right, a full 365 days and they are still in near-mint condition.
We had decent sized party w/ friends and family alike at a bar/restaurant called Durty Nellie's in Palatine. Nellie's used to a be a total dive hole-in-the-wall we would, in our much younger days, go to see bands play as we sweat our asses off in the over-crowded, closet sized 'music room'. Time passed...giant condos and row homes erupted from the earth in downtown Palatine...Nellie's closed their original location and re-opened as a huge restaurant/bar/state-of-the-art music venue. So, as we enjoyed a few pints of one of the gazillion micro brew/imports they have on hand while children squirmed around on our laps, we all had to laugh how times have most definitely changed.
Anyhow, everything went great...even though, after almost a full 12 months of barely a runny nose between them, Logan came down w/ a cough/fever thing that kind of took him off of his game. 
They got tons of cool gifts, including their first real lace-up shoes...suede PUMAS (red & white and black & white, respectively). They played around w/ the cool cake their mom had made for them and were absolutely wrecked by the time they hit the crib that evening. In the few weeks that have followed, they continue to change before our eyes...a lot of 'talking' and no walking yet, but confidently moving from one piece of furniture to the other. Owen has also developed an ear for music and will go all Beat Street when he hears it...the kid has moves. Logan, will now greet me when I come home from work w/ a big 'HIYYYEEEE!' and a wave of his chubby little hand. They rule and I love them dearly.

A few book reviews? Six-demon bag?! I promise not so long of a lag this time...unless either of the two midgets currently residing in my house decide to walk on their own accord. Peace!

Adorable picture! And despite the fact that he had the name first, it's now jarring for me to read about your Logan, since I have the twin Logan nephew of my own.
