Day 5

A picture of your favorite memory.

This was a tough one because I have MANY favorite memories. A fairly recent favorite memory that comes to mind first was when we took Logan to the beach in the Outer Banks. This was his very first time touching the ocean with his little toes.

Day 4

A picture of something you wish you could forget.

A few years ago our town we live in was slammed by a F4 tornado. This picture is of the tornado when it was in our community where we live. Jack and I were both home when it came through and we both saw it. Our house had extensive exterior damage in result of this. Some were not so fortunate in our community. Some of our neighbors houses were literally flattened. However, we lived through this horrific event and we are so blessed for that. This was truly my nightmare come true.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day & Day 3 Picture Challenge

I did not think I was going to get a chance to blog today. Well..surprise...surprise! Logan had his 18 month well-check today. He had his last round of shots today...thank the Lord! He does not need another shot until he is 4. Bless his little bones...I hate to see him upset when he has to get a needle. He also is not due for another well-check until he is 2. He is at the top percentile as far his motor skills, height, weight, etc. However, I went into this appointment with one concern. I think by this point Logan should be saying a whole lot more than he is. His vocabulary consists of about 10 words which is ok but is borderline speech delay according to Logan's pediatrician. Logan does anything we ask him to do..go get a book, go get a toy...when asked where his tummy, nose, ears, feet, etc. are he will point to them. And as I already mentioned, he will say a few words. Logan's ped. recommended that we take Logan to an Auditory and Speech Therapist. He does not forsee any problems and also forsees his vocabulary to increase really soon. However, if it doesn't, he will continue to see the speech therapist. The pediatrician also said that more than likely he will not need speech therapy, he is just being precautious.

My honest thought: ...... OMG....I really think that this whole speech therapy thing at this point is crap. I am not discounting speech therapy because I really do feel like in some cases it is needed. However, I do not think Logan needs this. I am no doctor so maybe I am wrong. I am going with it though and doing what they tell me to do. I feel Logan will start talking more in his own time. Jack and I have already put our feelers out to parents we know asking them if they ever had similar experiences. We have found that there are several kids we know who have also gone through this and it ended up not being a big deal. That is what I am hoping for...praying for anyway.

Although I feel in my heart Logan is fine, I still can not help but have a little anxiety over this.

Please keep Logan in your prayers.

I have probally lost most of you by now with all of my venting. Thanks for being patient and for reading my babble if you did. : )




On a lighter note.....

HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!



Green milk for my little leprechaun.



I let Logan drink his green milk from a glass so he could see what he was drinking and this is what happened.

St. Patty's Day cookies!

Lucky Charms were on the menu too!

Logan's St. Patty's Day homemade mobile.




Reminder...I am doing a 30 day picture challenge for fun. So far I have done good by doing 3 days in a row! Go me! : )
Day 3

I have been watching Live with Regis and Kelly for years! I even watched it when it was Regis and Kathie Lee. I occasionally send Logan's picture in to their inbox in hopes that one day they will show it Live on their show! : ) Logan will just love me one day for that. I will miss Regis when he retires. I have always believed that I could had been their third wheel on this show. (tee hee)

We got home from Logan's appointment in Portsmouth around 11:30. I gave Logan a bath, fed him lunch, (and yes...I fed him more than just sugary ceral, green milk, and cookies) : )  and then he went right to sleep. Little munchkin has had a big day. That is why I had the time to blog today. It is rare that I ever blog when Logan is up. I hope everyone has a great weekend coming up!

Day 2

A picture of you and the person you have been closest to the longest.

Me, Grace, and Heather at City Bistro.

This is an instant and obvious answer for me. My sister, Heather is this person. We have been close since we were little girls. Again, it was hard for me to put my hands on a picture with just me and her in the picture. It is rare that our kiddos or significant others are not in the picture too!

30 Day Picture Challenge

So everyone on Facebook seems to be doing this new thing where you post pictures of different things regarding your life. I guess it is something to do to get to know the individual better. I would rather do this challenge on my blog verses Facebook. So here it goes....

The Bachelor Finale!

Oh my goodness gracious! What a wonderful season this has been for The Bachelor! I have been so hooked on this show since Ryan and Trista's season...hehehe. Brad, this seasons Bachelor, had to choose between Chantal, pictured on the left and Emily, pictured on the right. I knew from the moment Emily stepped out of the limo on the first episode that she was the one for Brad. : ) I can not believe I am even blogging about this....I guess I am still hyped up from the silly show. I guess I should mention that Brad did propose to Emily! Hooray! I am SO happy with endings like this when these people end up with the right person for them. I CAN NOT WAIT until the next season!

Kisses not Pinches.

Logan is decked out in his green so he can guarantee some kisses for St. Patrick's Day. I am bringing Saint Patrick's Day a little early to you. Logan has his 18 month well check-up this Thursdayso I will not have time to do a post that day. I had some down time this evening so figured I would go ahead and squeeze this post in. I hope everyone has a great week! Do not forget to wear GREEN on Thursday! : )
