Happy Hoene Family

I don't know if I am up for all of this picture taking!!

My mommy loves me sooooooooo much!

So does my daddy!

A beautiful gift from God above!

So tired after all of the photo taking...whew!

Thanks for visiting ladies! I love having so many Aunts!!

Today Logan had a few more visitors. Thanks to Aunt's Chrissy, Lainey, and Bonnie for visiting us today. It was GREAT to see you all and Logan loved meeting you. Below are some of the pictures from today...thanks to Aunt's Chrissy and Lainey for taking such good pictures of our new family.

Can't wait to see you all again soon!

Bath Time!!

This isn't so bad...

I feel much better all snuggly!

We made it! Bath time!!

He is growing so quickly and I feel like he changes by the minute...does that sound found familiar to anyone? I feel so bad for my husband because he misses out on what is happening each day. I wish our video camera could reach to his truck so he could just watch him every day...I don't know what I am going to do when I have to go back to work! YIKES!!

There are so many things I love about our son...I will try to list a few here...

10 things I love about YOU!

1. i love the way your eyes move at the sound of mine or daddy's voice.

2. i love how your soft, blonde hair is already grown over your ears.
3. i love how you let us know when you are hungry...uh, uh, uh.
4. i love the way you smile drowsily at me when your belly is full.
5. i love the way your mouth pouts when you NEED me.
6. i love the way you YAWN like you just finished with a long day at work.
7. i love that your father and I love you more than life itself.
8. i love how your daddy is making plans to take you hunting and to the Bengals games already.
9. i love the way you look so peaceful when you are sleeping...i wonder what you are dreaming about?
10. i love how God always planned for you to be our son.




How sweet is this?

I LOVE this picture!

Daddy's boy...

Logan at home...

sweet baby boy--january 14, 2008

You would think once we got home, things would slow down...NOT EVEN CLOSE! We have been very busy! Logan went to the doctor again on Friday for a routine check-up and he did GREAT! Here are his stats...

6 pounds 8 ounces (he gained 9 ounces in one week)
19.5 (he grew a half inch in one week)

We don't go back until Feb. 1 for our one month check up!

We hope you enjoy the picture...I will try to post more later this week.
i hope you dance...

We are FINALLY home!!

Finally, we got the call at 3:30 on Friday afternoon saying that we could FINALLY go home. We had a really good night...Logan did great! He is sleeping well through the night between his 2am feeding and then wakes up to eat around 6:30 or 7. I will try to post some pictures later today.

Again, we are still on this journey, but being home makes it all worth it. Thank you all for you love, support, prayers and kind words.

i hope you dance

Happy One Week Birthday, Logan!

Logan William Hoene

Not flesh of my flesh,

Nor bone of my bone,

Yet still miraculously my own.

NEVER foget for a single minute,

You didn't grow under

my heart,

You grew IN it!

Thank you Mary...this is perfect!

Sweet boy...blue is my color!

Can you see the Halo on my sweet little head?

Daddy, Nana, and Grandaddy...Can you tell what team they are for?


Mimi, Mommy, and Papa...Getting ready for my first trip to O'Charley's--Yummy!!


Mike and Mary...thanks for visiting. It meant a lot to us!

New Paci...much better!

So much fun meeting my cousins!

Here is my cousin Brady. He was born at the end of July.

When I grow up I want to be just like him!!

Look at me in my new bouncy seat!! I love the cow.

I can't believe our son was born a week ago today!! He has changed so much over the last few days, as these pictures will show. We are still waiting on the call to be able to bring Logan home. Please continue to pray for this as we are getting a bit tired of living in a hotel room. Of course, Logan doesn't mind. Here are some fun things he is doing this week:

• Peeing all over anyone who changes his diaper --MiMi and Aunt Carrie included.
• Grunting when he is hungry--uh, uh, uh in Logan language means FEED ME NOW!!
• Smiling for no reason, other than possibly passing a little gas--he is defintely a Hoene.
• Sleeping for about 4 hours between feeding at night! It really is the little things.

I could go on and on...but I won't. Please enjoy the pictures and as always...i hope you dance!
