Baby Harris' Name

I think we have decided on a name for our new baby boy....Austin Michael Harris.

Big Boy

Logan found the candy and did his best to get the paper off the blow pop


He managed to get the paper off and enjoyed sucking away until I took it away - too much sugar!


We had to brush his teeth after eating candy of course! He loves to get his teeth brushed. Twice a day Dr. Pearlstein said.



Brian and I took Logan for his one year physical today (a month later due to the end of the school year craziness)! Logan weighed in at 23 lbs (50th percentile), he is almost 30 inches tall (50th percentile), and he reached all first year milestones! He even showed off his walking skills, climbing skills, talking skills (mama, dada, baba, hi). He also did some tricks - panting like a dog, waving, patty cake, ittsy bittsy spider motions. He is such a smart boy! After saying how "gorgeous" Logan is -she has been saying that since his first visit at 3 days old, Dr. Pearlstein directed us to get rid of the bottle by 15 months so Logan won't relapse when the new baby arrives. It is hard to imagine not giving him a night time bottle, or a morning bottle, or mid day bottle! I think I am taking it harder than he will. He is still a baby! Weaning may take us (or mom) 3 months. Then the nurse came in with the shots. Brian held Logan while Meaghan looked away (so sad for her baby)! Then she got to love on him. We went to lunch and home for a much needed nap.

Memorial Day

Getting ready to get in



Splashing around

We had a great Memorial Day. We enjoyed the day at home spending some quality time together. Daddy and Logan splashed in Logan's pool, we did yard work, a little house work, and took naps! We left around 4 to go to the lake to have dinner with Meg's family. YUMMY cookout!

First Day on the Boat!

Logan and Mommy

On Sunday Logan and I put our bathing suits on and headed over to Mimi and Papa's house. We were going on their boat for the first time. It was a hot day and Logan had to wear a life jacket the entire time. It was very restricting and hard for him to move around. He was a bit frustrated at times. However he enjoyed being with everyone and eating snacks and looking at the ducks! We stayed on the boat until dinner time. We all then went to the new Third Coast Grill in our bathing suits! It was so yummy. Logan and I were so tired, but excited to get home because Brian/daddy was home! We missed him so much. We were glad he had fun with his friends but even happier that he was home with us:)

A Day at Grandma and Grandpa Harris'

Saturday morning Logan and I woke up and got ready for the day. I had a dress fitting for Ryan and Julie's wedding. It fit perfectly and hope it still does this Saturday for the wedding! Logan was really good and patient while I tried the dress on. Then we drove over to Snellville. We were meeting decorator Rikki to pay her but had a few minutes to shop until we had to meet. I love the shops at Web Gin. We both got a new outfit from the GAP to wear to Ryan and Julie's rehersal dinner. Both are white and blue. Then we went to Barnes and Nobel. We met Rikki and then headed over to Grandma and Grandpa Harris' house. It was so much fun. We had lunch, went to Target with Grandma and she bought Logan a pool for their house, a bathing suit, pool toys, and little Tonka trucks. Logan loved playing in the pool. Of course my camera wasn't working, but Grandma took some great pics of Logan and Grandpa splashing around. Aunt Donna came over and we all went out to dinner at On the Boarder. We really enjoyed spending the day with them! We love our family! XOXOXO

School is Out for Summer!

New Kitchen Rug

New Office Rug - the desk and shelves are also now in place!


Last Friday was offically my last working day. I was able to leave at 12:30 after being checked out. It was a tiring week. After I left school I went and picked up Logan. My students had given me a huge goodbye gift to Target. So my mom, Logan, and I went there and I was able to get two new rugs. One under the kitchen table and one for the office. Thank you kids! Since Brian was away on a golfing weekend, Logan and I ate Little Ceasars Pizza and were in bed by 7:30! We were tired and had a big weekend ahead. We slept until the following morning at 7:30. Nothing like 12 hours of sleep:)

A Nice Weekend

As the school year comes to an end (in less than a week!) each day seems busier than the day before. However Logan and I found time over the weekend to play, eat out, shop, hang out at Suwanee Town Center for Pets in the Park, and spend time with Mimi, and Uncle Kevin! The pets in the park was so much fun. I left my camera at home, but Logan loved seeing all the dogs. He would point and pant like a dog each time he saw one. It was so cute! The dogs came right up to him and he patted them "nicely" as we say! I am so glad he is an animal lover. I added some pictures of Logan playing with his new birthday toys as well as playing in the pantry where his snacks are!

Happy First Birthday Logan!

Logan was born at 6:47 p.m. on May 15, 2007. I took a personal day and stayed home with him. We started the day by having blueberry pancakes with daddy. Daddy then had to go to work.
We got dressed and took a nap. I love being home with him! When we got up, decorator Rikki and Mimi came over. We decorated the house with the beautiful things Rikki bought for our house. Then we all got in the car and went shopping for more great stuff! Thank you to my mom for all of her help in making our house a home. Rikki is awesome if you ever need a decorator I will pass her info on to you. Once the curtains go up I will take pictures and post them. When we were done shopping we met Papa, Ryan, Mike, and Kevin for lunch before they headed off for Ryan's bachelor weekend in Tampa. Brian was very surprised and happy to see the deocrating that had taken place when he got home. He made a great birthday dinner and we ate it with Grandma and Grandpa Harris. Mimi and Kevin came over for cupcakes after dinner. At exactly 6:47 I took Logan's picture. Something I plan on doing every year. I also wrote him a letter, something else I am going to do each year for him. That way when he graduates from high school and is off to college he will have a stack of letters I wrote each year of his life.
It was a wonderful day full of fun and love! Happy Birthday Bubby! WE LOVE YOU XOXOXO

More Pictures of Logan on Mother's Day - he loves his balloon and car!

Meg's First Mommy's Day

After a day of celebration for Logan, it was Mommy's turn! Brian got up with Logan so I could sleep in - but I was too excited to sleep! So Logan and I cuddled in bed while Brian went and got my favorite coffee from Starbucks (just a small one so Baby Harris wouldn't get too much caffeine). When he came home, we were still cuddling. Brian gave me my cards, gifts and flowers! I got three of my favorite magazines to read during Mommy time in the bathtub, a gift card to Barnes and Nobel, and a gift card to Motherhood Maternity! What a great daddy and husband. He even signed Baby Harris to the card and traced Logan's hand. I Love him so much! We all got dressed and headed over to Grandma and Grandpa Harris' for a great brunch that Aunt Donna made. So Yummy. We gave Grandma her gifts and she gave me a gift card to Target! We left there and headed to Motherhood Maternity for a little shopping! Logan napped while I shopped. After that we drove straight down to Virginia Highlands to meet Mimi, Papa, and my brothers. We walked around and then when Aunt Julie came we all went out to dinner. We exchanged gifts. Mike and Kevin gave me a flag and pole for our house and a Yankee candle. Mimi and Papa gave me some spending money!!!! Mimi got a lot of great gifts from all of us and Papa also. Again I am so thankful of all that I get and can't thank everyone enough for all they do for us. It was a busy, but an amazing first Mother's Day. I love being a mommy everyday not just on Mother's Day. My kids are the best gift of all! Thank you Brian for the boys (I love saying that)!

Logan's 1st Birthday Party

We had a great time at Logan's first birthday party. The weather was great, the spot in the park was accommodating to all the friends and family that came. We had great food thanks to Mimi and Papa; we ate hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, mac and cheese (Logan's fav), baked beans, baked chicken, chicken fingers, and pasta salad - SO YUMMY! Grandma Harris made her famous dip that everyone loves! Uncle Ryan brought Rita's Ice! We ate, played on the playground, sang Happy Birthday, had yummy cake, and opened up lots of great gifts. Thank you to everyone who came and shared in celebrating our sweet boy's special day. The kids were given a bucket full of goodies - bubble wand, cupcake cone, a book (of course), and candy! So much fun! We are so blessed to have such great family and friends. We love you all! I will post pictures soon. I also have video to upload as soon as I have a minute and can figure it out!

Yard Work

Last weekend Brian (Mr. Green thumbs) and his parents did a makeover on our yard. I wish I has taken pictures before but I took a bunch after. They truly did a great job, it looks beautiful! I love pulling into the driveway. Later that night, my parents brought over 3 potted plants for the front and back deck. We are so blessed to have such great parents!

Oh Boy!

We are excited to say that we are expecting another boy. He is healthy and everything looks great. We haven't decided on a name yet. Maybe Ramboboo (hehe - it was in the baby name book and gave us a laugh).

Baby Harris Update

Friday was my 16 week appt. I am measuring at 16 weeks and the heartbeat was in the 140s. Everything is going great. We are anxious to know if we will be buying pink or blue. We will know for sure tomorrow afternoon! Logan is a walking machine. He also started to point to things or people he wants! He is so cool. We love watching him grow and change.

New House

The boxes are unpacked! There is a lot to do as we are painting the walls and decorating! Pictures to follow. I am still trying to figure out how to rearrange page elements...
