Captain's Log:

Back again, and this time it's all about Austin. :)

I've never seen so much energy in a human being... This child has a seemingly unending supply of energy. It could be that I tried not to hang around small children before I had my own. Maybe many (or all) of them are like this, and I just never knew it. He seems to have an extra dose though... :)

Austin turned 1 in 2011 on February 2nd, Groundhog Day. As far as I'm aware, his birthday only happened once... We had a Super Hero Squad themed party at his aunt Melodie's place because he loves Spider-man.



He's grown so fast. It seems too fast at times. He is speaking pretty well now and getting far better at mimicking others. He is very adept with our iPhones and tablet... He thinks everything is touchscreen now, including the TV and when it doesn't respond to his touch he looks really confused. :) Spoiled.

When Logan arrived, Austin took to him quite well. He is very nice to his younger brother. They get along very well right now, which will be nice while it lasts... :)

Austin's second birthday is rapidly approaching now. I don't know yet what theme Brittany will use for this year's birthday party, but it's not like she doesn't have a lot of choices. Austin loves Sesame Street ("Elmo-time?"), Phineas and Ferb, Dinosaur Train, and Mickey Mouse... Oh, and Spongebob ("Bob-bob").

So far, he's learned about half of the alphabet, though not the first half...just half of the letters, in order but not in a row. He knows how to count to 10 as well. It's really amazing how quickly he picks up on the iPhone though. He can unlock it, navigate to his folder, and open any of his apps. He's known how to do that for a while. Now he's poking around in my apps! Google maps is one of his favorites now. And he loves the forward-facing camera, because he loves looking at and taking photos of himself. I probably have 60-70 photos on my phone of Austin that he took himself. -_-




He's growing up really fast. And Logan's right behind him. More on the second one next.

Until then,

Captain's Log:

Not too much happening today. I had the day off of work, which was nice; however, Brittany was sick. :( Back to work tomorrow though.

Now about all those things that happened last year that I didn't get a chance to write about...

Let's start with Brittany and me. In 2011, we had our second wedding anniversary, and to celebrate, we took a nice cruise down to the Grand Cayman's and Mexico. The Grand Cayman's were fun. We toured the island some and visited the sea turtle farm. We were going to do the dolphin expedition; however, Brittany was pregnant (w/ Logan) and they don't allow pregnant women on that tour. Apparently, the dolphins tend to focus all of their attention on the pregnant women...something Brittany certainly would not have had a problem with...

After the island, we sailed to Mexico where we got to tour Cozumel. The ancient Mayan ruins were something that I've been wanting to see for a long time. That was quite an adventure.



All in all, a great cruise. The cruise boat was incredible. It's the biggest ship we have been on so far, and it has some amazing features. To include an ice rink!

Brittany even won the "Finish That Lyric Game Show." She was marvelous.

After the cruise, things quieted down. I finished school and we spent the summer getting ready for the newest Werner.

In late August, Logan arrived. But that's a story for a different post. :)

Those are two of the biggest events that happened to the two of us in 2011. We've been married almost 3 years now, and it hardly feels like that much time has passed. Our time together just seems like it has flown by, which is kind of sad, because I don't want it to go by so fast. I'd much rather enjoy it for as long as I can. :)

It is going to take a few weeks to catch up on all that happened last year, I think. Stay tuned... For now though, this was quite long enough.

Until next time,

This is the first post on this weblog since 2010... It's like the year 2011 didn't even happen... Though I'm sure in years to come, my son Logan will beg to differ.

Many, many exciting and wonderful things happened in 2011; however, since I didn't write them down here, most of them are forever lost... Bummer.

I do remember a few things though. Most importantly, my second son, Logan James Werner, was born on August 29. Very healthy, and very heavy (much to Brittany's dismay). He and his older brother Austin are doing well, and so are Brittany and I. We are approaching our third anniversary which will happen this March.

This won't be a very long post tonight, since it's late and I don't want to start back up with a crazy-long post. This is just page 1 of the chapter 2012 in my life's story. :)

Until tomorrow,

LWerner
