Remember I mentioned in my first blog that I had insomnia due to being 7 weeks away from giving birth......WELL....
On March 23rd 2016 at 3:57am our second jewel arrived, filling our hearts with so much love and happiness yet again.
Weighing in at 7lbs 7oz and 51cm long, Logan Tyler is the perfect addition to our family and everything that parents can ask for in a baby boy. He is healthy and happy and is adored by his big brother who lovingly calls him "Peachy Pie munch munch".
I have been a bit silent on my webpage for a while but as you would imagine it takes some getting use to going from just a toddler to a toddler plus a newborn. It is our newest adventure and definitely a different rhythm but Derek and I are picking up the notes very quickly.
Like his brother, Logan is also named after a great mountain, Mount Logan. Mount Logan is the highest peak in Canada and second highest is North America, after Mount Denali, after which our first son is named. Mount Logan is located within Kluane National Park and Reserve in southwestern Yukon, less than 40 kilometres (25 mi) north of the Yukon/Alaska border.Both mountains are on our "must visit" list and both boys will get to visit their namesakes for their 10th birthdays.
Today Logan is 12 days old. We took him into the trailer for the first time on Friday and he was happy to just lay in bed and relax. Big brother Matthias could not wait to show him around.
We've already booked our first camping trip for the May long weekend....we usually start the season off close to home as it's usually still a bit cold in early May, so we are heading to Bow Valley Provincial Park. It will definitely be something to see how Logan adapts...although I think that he will be just fine especially with all the fresh air.
This year, to accommodate Logan, we'll try to camp close to Calgary, keeping the driving distance within 2 hours since I think once fed that's how long Logan will nap for before waking up hungry again.
Matthias has already been asking to go camping which means that "we've succeeded in getting one kid hooked on camping Dad, now to work on the second". Yeahhhh....
"My dear baby Logan, you have completed our family and we are all excited to start this new journey and make a lifetime worth of memories with our two precious boys".
FOR YOU ALWAYS DENALI AND LOGAN,
Love Mom and Dad.
