Happy Birthday Baby!

It seems like yesterday I had baby #2 growing inside of me. Jackson wasn't even two yet, and we were so excited to find out he was going to be a big brother!


Logan Maxwell was welcomed into this world exactly 4 years ago today! I can't believe how fast the time has gone by. I miss him being little. He was such a good baby and definately a mama's boy!
Why do you have to grow up so fast? I do love though, that your personality has developed and you are so happy! Such a joy in our family. You are the little man who makes us all smile!



Happy 4th Birthday LOGAN! We love you!

M,M, and M (part 4) The Call




Trying to get a post in...I have to echo Rachel's excuses. Saints and hurricane watching, add a busy life with 2 boys and I haven't gotten to the computer to compose another Marriages, Meetings, and Memories post. Wanted to write something so I am attempting to put something together after dinner and before baths on a night my hubby is working late and the boys aren't playing very well together. So bear with me...


Fast forward from our January meeting to February then march, skip April and get to May, months went by of flirting and learning more about each other, but never with an official date planned. I started to wonder if I was missing something, or misinterpreting the obvious "he's into me" cues. I was baffled. He was shy, or scared. A little peek into his life had revealed pain and heartache over a previous relationship that I won't go into detail about now, but I had learned that he was taking his time navigating the world of love for very good reason.

Then it happened!!! He called. My house. My heart stopped. Then raced. It was him! On the phone! Asking me out!! I had dreamed about this moment for months! And here it was. Hi, Sara, just wondering if maybe you wanted to get dinner and catch a movie sometime?! There is was, him asking me. Just the way it was supposed to be. I froze. My head was screaming YES, YES, YES!!!! But I didn't want to sound too over excited and wondered how our work schedules would be since I worked days and he worked nights. I casually responded, Just let me check my schedule. WHAT?! did I just say that? Let me check my schedule?! Like let me see if I can squeeze you in between all the other guys in my life. NOT. Or maybe you aren't' important enough for me to miss my favorite t.v. show. Well, I eagerly awaited the OK how about this date. It never came. We chatted and hung up. I thought it was understood that we would be going out just as soon as i checked my schedule and we could plan a day, like this week. I had honestly meant, I will look at my work schedule and see what night will work. This week turned into next week, and then another. Had I missed something??? Yep. He thought I meant no. Stupid me!!!

Mr. M actually started to show less interest and I was confused and heartbroken, too shy to ask what the deal was. Then I heard through the grapevine that he was "seeing" a friend of a friend back home in Mississippi on the weekends and I thought my chance was over, done, finished. How could I have messed this up? It had seemed so right. Did he really think I had said NO????

hurricanes and things...






So living in Louisiana is crazy sometimes. August 2005 is a prime example. Hurricane Katrina changed our lives forever. Now it is November 8th,2009 and we have an unheard of storm in the Gulf headed this way. It is impossible to explain what that does to you unless you have lived through a hurricane. It messes with your head. I'm thinking we won't have to evacuate but you still have to stress a little, plan a little, have a "what if" plan thought out just in case. As Monday approaches and everyone heads back to work and school, we will have the weather channel on...waiting and watching. Wondering if it will hit and how bad it will be. The cool fall gulf waters will help us out a lot but it is still no fun to watch the big, swirling CAT 2 storm on satellite and get a little nervous.
How ironic that my front doors are in the middle stages of getting stripped and sanded and re-stained after hurricane damage took it's toll and we are finally getting around to fixing them. The workers came Friday and took all the weather stripping and threshold off and need to come back tomorrow so we don't have a flood in our living room from driving rain, even if it just a tropical storm that hits. There is laundry to be done, gas tanks to fill up...oh, better cook the chicken in the freezer in case we lose power!!! That is no fun to come back to after you've had to evacuate and abandon the house only to forget the freezer was full and now has spoiled and nasty meat. Still have flashbacks about all of that from Katrina! Anyway, if I'm not on here for a few days, that is why! Hope you have a great week and I'll just be checking the weather more closely than most of you!

please pray for stellan...

go to STELLAN'S mommy's site to read about this sweet baby who needs prayer!

busy week...

It's been a busy week. Just wanted to check in. We are still alive. I am behind on posting and need to get pics uploaded. I worked last night and got pulled to the nursery. I enjoyed holding and loving on those babies. Jackson is enjoying soccer. Logan loves cheering his brother on. I have more piles of laundry than I care to admit. I'm excited about Christmas already. LOVE the christmas season. Hope you are having a great weekend. Go saints!
