Swimming, Swimming in a Swimming Pool.....

Last week I went to watch Evan and Alex swim with my parents.  While I was there, one of the instructors approached me about starting swim lessons with Logan.  They told us that lessons are free until the baby turns 6 months, so I thought, why not?!?!?   Alex (my friend, not my nephew) and Tori thought it was a great idea so the 3 of us took our boys for their first swim lesson on Nov 29, 2011 at Hubbard Swim School.  Logan and Wyatt LOVED it, while Cole was a little apprehensive at first.  It was so cute to see them enjoying being in the water and it also gave us more time to bond with the little guys.

 Lets see how this goes...

We had so much fun at swim and can't wait to take the boys back next week!

Thanksgiving 2011

Logan's first Thanksgiving was a blast!  My mom cooked a FABULOUS meal and we hosted Thanksgiving at our house this year.  The Tyree family came over and Alex and Evan had fun playing with Logan and all of his toys.  (I don't think they know that most of them are their old toys)

 My fabulous parents.... still in love after so many years together!

 Not sure what Logan is looking at in this picture.

 My beautiful and happy baby and me!  I'm so thankful to have him in my life!  I love being his mommy!

 I think he was a little upset from all the pictures.... or the outfit :) 

 More picture of Logan!

 Check out the turkey on his butt!

 Grammy and Pa with their grandson.

 My favorite picture.... Logan is so loved by his grammy!

This picture is off center because my dad took it, but its a great pic of the 3 Berger women.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and were sad to see my parents leave.  We can't wait to see them in a couple of weeks when we head to St. Louis to celebrate our cousin, Whitey's wedding!  

Logan's Baby Naming Ceremony

On November 20, 2011 we had Logan's baby naming at our house. Cantor Bernie who officiated our wedding ceremony performed the ceremony. Logan was surrounded by friends and family. His Hebrew name is after my grandma Selma (my dad's mom). We hope he grows up to be as strong of a person as she was... we miss her dearly.

Thanks to everyone who traveled from out of town to attend Logan's baby naming ceremony.  The ceremony was beautiful and we are thankful that our son is loved by all our friends and family.
