Fun at the ZOO!
Thursday was a wonderful day! I took Matthew
and Logann to the zoo. The weather was beautiful!
I was a little nervous to take both of them by myself,
but I was quite determined to have a fun trip. I got
upearly earlier than I have been :) to pack
lunches, and get everything we needed for
the day ready to go. We got to the zoo around 9:45.
As soon as we walked through the gate and put on
our sunscreen, Matthew found the map we were
given, and began trying to read it. He did not let
go of that map almost all day. He had to make sure
we were seeing EVERY animal. Logann just rode
along in the stroller as happy as could be!
Matthew was really serious with the map!
After several hours, we decided to rest and have
our picnic lunch. Logann ate with us (a bottle
and some of my banana), and she continued to
be a very happy baby.
She was so happy all day!
Matthew played on the playground, rode the
carousel, and sweetly begged to visit the building
with all the reptiles, spiders, fish, and
amphibians twice!
Matthew loves animals!
After about 4 hours, Matthew ran out of steam.
I was just about out myself! We made our
way back to the car... and I had a very quiet ride
home! It was such an amazing day! I am so thankful
that God has given me these opportunities to spend
time makingmemories with my children!
I love my babies!

Not Me! Monday
Welcome to another "Not Me! Monday"
hosted by MckMama!!! Here again for a time
of confession!
This week, I did not tell Matthew, on many
occasions, "Go watch t.v." so we could work
on the floors. What kind of mother lets there
child watch so much t.v.?
I have not said more curse words (mostly
in my head) than I have ever said this week
while installing our floors! I would never
get so angry and frustrated that I would do
(think) this.
I did not go to lunch and a movie with my
best friend, wearing sweats, a t-shirt, and flip
flops. I, a mother of 2, ALWAYS look my best
when I go out. I also did not stop to think that
I have only gotten "ready" for church this
summer. I did not realize that I must have
looked pretty rough everywhere I have gone!
I am not typing this with one hand because
my daughter, who received her 6 months
shots today, is sitting in my lap, rather fussy!
I do not now have to go to the dreaded store
(which shall remain nameless, but starts with
a "W.") again because I did not forget something
while I was there earlier. I do not ever forget
anything! I do not despise this store, and do
not wish that we had a Target much closer
to our house.
Thank you for reading!!!

My Mood: Frustrated!
Just an update on the floors...
We have finished installing the floors in the
dining room. I think they look really good.
It seems like any little thing that could have
gone wrong, has gone wrong! Very frustrating!!!
This has definitely been a learning experience!
I feel like we have really accomplished a
lot, but then I think about how much we have
left...we still have the living room, foyer, and hall
to finish. It is really hard working on them while
also trying to watch Matthew and Logann. Matthew
wants to be in the middle of everything, and well,
Logann is just a baby who needs much attention!
I just pray that we have them done
by the time I go back to work! I will post some
pictures soon, so you can see the progress!

Our Summer So Far
I am absolutely loving staying home with my babies!
We are having a marvelous time together. Over the
past few weeks, we have had lots of fun and have made
lots of special memories!
Matthew and Logann at NaNa & Pop's House
Matthew and I went to his first drive-in movie. We took
Subway for dinner and M&M's to munch on during the
movie. We saw "Up." He actually sat and watched the
whole thing (except for the two trips to the potty!)
We have been to visit my best friend Rachel, her new
baby Tyler, Anthony, and their dog Maddie a few times
so far this summer. Matthew thinks that Maddie is just
wonderful. He likes to throw the ball for her and make
her do her tricks. He says, "Maddie loves me so much!"
I think it is just hilarious. Logann loves seeing little Tyler,
too! I love spending time with my babies and my best friend!
Baby Tyler
I took Matthew and Logann swimming. Logann loved
the water! She played for about 15 minutes, and then
was out like a light, so Matt-Matt and I could play in
the pool together. He had so much fun splashing
around and jumping from the side of the pool! I am
so glad they both seem to love the water so much.
Here are a few pics from the pool!
Getting Ready to Go!
He was ready to swim!
She loved the water!
Matthew begged me to take him to Chuck E
Cheese last week. I gavein, even though it is
a 45 minute drive (because I refuse to go to the
onethat is 20 minutes away because it is a place
only for thugs.) It was somewhat difficult
by myself, with Logann, but we had a fabulous
time anyways. Logann loved all the lights,
colors, and sounds. Matthew was so excited
that he had grown some since the last time
we went, and he could climb up the play
structure all by himself! He was such a big
boy. He put a couple tokens in his pockets,
and went and chose what games he wanted
to play, while I watched. I just can't believe
how much he is growing up!
Logann has just been fun to watch. She is
sitting up all by herself now. She loves to
eat crackers now with her two little chompers.
I think she may be getting more teeth because
she has been a little cranky, drooly, and chewy
lately. She is so wiggly. I have a feeling that she
will be walking rather quickly...mommy does
not like this! She is so precious.
I am so thankful that my job allows me to
have these fun times with my children during
the summer. We are planning many more
outings to see what kind of fun we can have.
My list of future outings includes the zoo, the
aquarium in Chattanooga, the science museum,
definitely another drive-in visit, more swimming,
and maybe a trip to the mountains!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On another note, we are making progress
with the floors! After a rough start, and
many trips to Lowe's and Home Depot,
we have it figured out. I love the way the
floors look so far! Here is a preview! :)

Please Pray!
I come to you with 2 prayer requests. My heart is so heavy for 2 sweet Christian women, each struggling with something very difficult. I am going to put a link for each one so you can read more about their situations.
Prayer Request #1 - Adrienne, Jim, Owen, Miss A, & Baby Braxton
Adrienne has struggled to become a mom over the past many years. With 6 miscarriages and a failed domestic adoption, she has been through so much hurt. A baby was born a couple days ago that was to be hers through a domestic adoption. The birth mother is having doubts now. I cannot imagine the disappointment, pain, and fear she must be feeling. Please lift her up in prayer and that the right thing will happen for that sweet newborn baby.
Prayer Request#2 - MckMama and Stellan
I have written about baby Stellan on my blog many times before. After a little time at home from the hospital in Boston, Stellan is now back at the children's hospital near her home on a new drug regimen. Please pray for his healing.
