Not much to say at the moment, quiet weekend here, but I did find this cool vid! Think the Dad's will 'preciate it. Peace out Cub Scout!

Things that make you go.......
So Kat woke me up this morning saying something about Tiger being in town & that she wanted to get on the road early. Needless to say, I went from zero to WIDE AWAKE in record time. Turns out that Mr. Woods is supposedly playing golf in Paramus, NJ and she needs to get to her tutoring session early in order to avoid traffic.
She called me later to say that her concerns were unfounded and that she had no traffic problems. I still wonder if I need to keep an eye on El Tigre.
So Logan has been lotioned, dressed, had his language session, "helped me" put laundry on, had his vitamins, eaten lunch, and after a 2 hour battle, is finally napping.
Anyone that tells me being a stay at home parent is easy might just get put down for a nap themselves.
As of late, I have come to realize that I have been "labeled" as a SAHD. That's a Stay At Home Dad, according to one of my new favorite blogs, RebelDad.com.
Not sure if I like being labeled, feel like it some how negates me, but I digress.
Time to get some other house husband stuff done. Kat was setting up her class room and is on her way home. I'm thinking I'll show her who the Tiger is. ROAR!

Timing is everything!
So Logan has started to tell us when he needs to be changed. He pats his diaper when he wants a new one. We want to get him potty trained and Kat tells me this is a good sign. Apparently, it's a matter of timing. If only he could tell us BEFORE he's stinky.
Yesterday was very overcast, but at least we got a break from the rain. Logan & I were sitting outside playing with his sidewalk chalk until it got a little breezy. I decided to take him into the basement to draw on the concrete floor. Kathy asked me what would happen to the chalk, since there would be no rain to wash it away. I had to laugh and ask her "Who cares?"
Logan has his speech and language session at the moment, which gives me a little time to get things done. Time to refill the coffee mug and do laundry! Yippee :(

It Begins.
Ahhhhh! Naptime! I can finally sit and write.
I've been meaning to start blogging for some time now. About 9 months to be honest. That was when we became the parents of a beautiful little boy that we adopted from China.
We, my wife Kathy and I, decided to call him Logan. My friends affectionately refer to him as The Dragon Prince.
Now you may be asking "How did the get a boy from China?" Those familiar with adoptions from China know that it's usually the girls they give up. Well about a year and a half into the adoption process, our agency asked us if we'd consider a "special needs" adoption. They gave us a list of 7 children ranging in age from about a year to seven years old. There were a couple of kids with cleft lips, a little boy with a post-op heart defect, and the youngest on the list, a little boy with albinism.
An albino Chinese person? I'd heard of albinism, seen people with albinism in passing, but didn't know it occurred in Asians. My curiosity was peaked.
Kathy and I asked to see the files from all seven children, hoping that we could make a decision. The agency told us kindly, but firmly, it was one file at a time. So after a little discussion, we asked for the file of the youngest child, the little boy with albinism.
I will never, EVER forget the moment Kathy and I opened the email and saw his little picture. I now firmly believe in love at first sight. We cried when we saw his little face knowing that we'd found our son.
Logan has been with us since November 2, 2009, a date that we will always celebrate. That is of course in addition to his birthday, and all the other fun holidays. People often tell me that he is very lucky that we adopted him. I tell people that my family and I, we're the lucky ones.
That's all I wanted to write for the moment, just to get started on my blog. As a Stay At Home Dad, I have lots to do. Promise I'll write more soon & might even bring some of my notes from Logan's recent adventures over from my FaceBook page.
TTFN :)
