Unexpected weekend



What a weekend. At first Adam, Logan and I were going to head to Houston to visit IKEA, but ended up not going. So I decided that on Saturday I'd go to get a massage and pedicure....a little treat for myself and a break away for a few hours. Friday night we come home from having dinner with our friends Brian and Natalie and put Logan to bed. I was sitting on the couch and my wonderful husband gives me a lovely note about how much he appreciates all that I do for him and Logan and ends up paying for my massage and pedicure. I was so grateful and appreciated it so much.


So Saturday comes and we went and took Logans first year photos and a family photo of us. She did such a great job. She was so adorable.
After the photos got done we came home and noticed that our neighbors were having a garage sale. Our garage is full of SO much stuff and prior to that we had scheduled amongst ourselves two seperate times to have a garage sale, but the days never worked out. So on Friday I had called the Salvation Army to come and pick up our stuff for donation. Well it was 10:30am and we decided to jump on the band wagon with our neighbors and we started pulling our stuff our of the garage and put a sign up that read, " Garage Sale -- Give us an offer." Nope we hadn't even priced a single thing, but we figure well we were just going to give this stuff away and now it looks like we could make a few bucks. Sure enough in no time we had sold almost everything we put out there. Within 2 hours we had made a few hundred dollars. We were very happy. An hour later I left for my massage and when I got back home we took Logan over to Honey's (Grandma Farrell) and Adam and I got to go to a nice dinner. What a great weekend. Made some money, got a massage and pedicure, and had a wonderful dinner with just my husband. Thanks Honey for watching Logan.

Logan Turns 1 !!!






Logan turned 1 year old this weekend. I can't believe how quickly a year has gone. We had a BBQ at our house on Saturday to celebrate her first birthday. Plenty of kids were there and I think she had a lot of fun. She enjoyed playing with the kids and she took a dip with her friend Caroline. She loved her cake. She picked the whole thing up and put it into her mouth...well as best as she could. It was great. She did her first birthday the right way. She got wonderful gifts and is enjoying playing with all of them. And Adam and I survived the first of many more birthday parties to come. It was actually a lot of fun having our friends over also. We enjoyed that because we don't get to have that too often.

Her actual birthday is today...Father's Day...so her and Adam get to enjoy the day together. I made Logan a t-shirt to wear that has two pictures of her and Adam on the front. One is the picture of them last year on Father's Day...which was the day we brought her home from the hospital and the second picture is the most recent one we had of the two of them. On the back of the t-shirt I put on " I Love My Daddy." This morning I put the t-shirt on and let her crawl into the bathroom where he was, so he could see the shirt.

Trip without Adam




Logan and I headed to San Francisco this past weekend. She did wonderful. She slept on the long flight and played on the shorter flights. We got a chance to hang out in the city on Saturday. Logan loved the seals and wanted to go out in the water with them. We did a lot of shopping and eventually Logan fell asleep in the stroller. The city was wonderful. The weather was great and I was so sad to see our trip come to a quick end. We had a lot of fun though and although I was a little worried about traveling alone without Adam it worked out just fine. Logan did wonderful and made it all very easy. Now that we are back in Corpus we are just trying to get her settled back into her normal routines and sleep times.

About to turn 1

Logan is about to turn 1 year old on June 15th. I absolutely can not believe how quickly the time has gone by. She's getting so big. We are having a BBQ party for her on that Saturday and inviting a few friends over. Last year we brought Logan home on Father's Day. This year Adam and Logan will be celebrating a day together. Her birthday happens to fall on Father's Day.

School has just gotten out so Logan and I are getting to spend the summer together. So far she has allowed me to take one nap and we've gone out and sat in the baby pool a few times. We are having fun so far!!
