Hi! My name is Luke and this is a blog about my family and I: parenting, friends, weekend trips, and some challenging things we navigate as well.
This blog is an archive for my own memories: “These are the good years” I often say. Some day things will change, but for now, things are pretty good, and I keep this blog as a memory of that.
Marriage is great, and being a dad is funny and hard, that’s why the tag for this blog is “proud supporters of fun and failures”, because if you can’t laugh at yourself, what’s the point?

Mardi Gras, Making cake, multi-media
When there is a daddy daughter dance, attendance is not optional. It is not the dad’s night to shine on the dance floor (though a few did). We got our tickets to the daddy-daughter dance before they sold out. Yes, I have a weird tone when writing these posts, but the event did actually sell…

The zoo, and the cloud
We had a fun trip to the zoo. Also, what do you do with all of your videos and photos from over the years? Here is my approach.

Birthday breakfast, basketball, biking adventure
Around here, a birthday isn’t just a day. Around here, there is a birthday with one side of the family; then another side of the family; then alone with just the family. This week I woke up on my actual birthday, read a book about the Old Testament, checked my blood pressure (part of my…

Happy Birthday, Hyderabad, and Hours Wasted
For the past several years, we have done the same thing for my birthday with the family: gone to boxcar arcade/bar to play games. It has become a pretty fun tradition. It was just a simple idea Taylor had a few years ago, and it works great: the kids get a chance to go and…

All the stuff.
Hi! Thanks for stopping by to check out the blog! Usually the title starts out with something that rhymes, but for the life of me, I cannot get all of these random things to fit into any fun title that makes sense. So this week, it is “all the stuff” from the Logan Family for…

2023 Blog Review, favorite things, and resolutions
2023 is over, so its time to peel back the curtain and reflect on what the analytics say about the blog: According to Google Analytics: The top pages from 2023: All of the numbers above mean this: not many people read this blog, and I am 100% ok with that. But what is the goal…

Christmas, 2023
Or, Getting Busy Yall We did a lot. Rosie had to help me remember what happened when. No, it wasn’t because I couldn’t remember for THAT reason. It was just fast and furious. And today, it will be fast and… God willing… quiet. Peanut Butter Balls. The 14th annual making of the balls. Punny jokes…

Rosie, Registers, and Running the Balls
This is a post about everything. This is a post about nothing. It is hard to say really- things move FAST during December. Rosie had a birthday. Its true. Every year, right after thanksgiving, and Taylor does an awesome job planning everything. And then December starts getting busy, and we are tired after doing all…

Sisters
When Rosie came home from dance on Tuesday, she put her book bag down, and walked right past me. Instead of stopping to share how her day was, she sat on the ground beside Mercy, and Rosie asked Mercy how her day was. These kinds of things happen all the time. This post is to…

Thanksgiving 2023
It was a blast. We ate a ton. The dressing was great (it is called “dressing” if it is not stuffed inside the bird, and “stuffing” if it is actually inside the turkey, according to my MIL). The decorations were beautiful. And the Tarheels lost terribly against NC State in Football. Amelias Birthday was just…

Stormy’s Story
There has been a post about Mercy, sharing her story. There has been a post about Rosie, sharing her story. The 9 people who read my blog have spoken: they want to hear Stormy’s story. So, turn on the the wayback machine, step into the Delorean, warm up the flux capacitor, we are going back…

Weekend in Boone
When there are lots of kids, they have to have something to do. It is tiring, yes. One trick most parents can likely agree on: When there are multiple kids, it tends to be easier to parent them. What does that even mean? It means, kids can entertain themselves; and that’s (almost) exactly what happened…
