Toone Family

Life has been busy around here lately! We've been completely preoccupied with yard projects and the like. I'll post some pictures later (we're not quite done; Logan needs to finish wiring the landscape lights). Anyway, I was talking with some people the other day about courtship stories, etc. I thought I'd share ours for posterity's sake...

I got married..."). Yeah. Tonight Logan is in St. George for work. He doesn't often travel for work, but I hate it when he does. It feels so weird to be alone overnight with the kids. Right now I have Lily in my bed because I don't like to be in here alone -- despite that it's 10:41 and she should be sound asleep in her crib. Well, it's not like I was a contender for the Mother of the Year Award anyway. Besides, I'm always saying that Lily gets lost in the middle somehow and needs more one-on-one time. Here it is! Today started out pretty good, but there was a definite spoiler right around noon. I accidentally left my credit card at the local Arctic Circle when I went through the drive-...
