Hello everyone.  Sorry that it has been a few days since our last update.

Logan and Grandma Mason arrived Tuesday afternoon.  Layton was very very happy to see his brother. 

Logan, Dad and Grandma and Grandpa Schmitz spent Wednesday in San Francisco.  They went to Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39 where Logan had a blast watching the sea lions and a street performer dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow.  Logan also had a blast at the Aquarium on the Bay where they walked and rode on a moving floor through a big plastic tube under the water.  He got to see all kinds of fish and sharks swimming all around and even right over his head!  Back up top, Logan got to 'pet' a Bat Ray, a small Leopard shark, and all kinds of starfish - COOL!  Layton stayed back with Grandma Mason and I at the Ronald McDonald House.  It is still too early for Layton to be around that many people.

Yesterday we drove to Half Moon Bay, a town on the coast.  We were looking for surfers, but the weather was a bit on the cool and cloudy side so we struck out, but Logan was able to take a short walk on the beach with me and have the thrill of getting splashed with ocean water.  We then ate at a restaurant overlooking the ocean which was really fun.

Today I had Layton at the hospital for lab work at 7:45 am and now I am just getting ready to go do laundry.  Hopefully, his labs are good today so MAYBE he can have an entire weekend off of labs!!  We would like to drive into San Francisco and over the Golden Gate bridge before Logan leaves for Minnesota on Tuesday.

Thanks again to everyone.  Many thanks for all the cards and mail!!  WE LOVE MAIL!!
