I still can't believe it!
Who else gets to leave church early to come home to mom and gets to go to the park?
Princess Calyn, that's who!
But as punishment we later locked her in a cage:)
Actually, she got in the dog kennel herself. She seriously played in that thing for an hour. No, we do NOT have a dog. This was over at our friends' house while we were watching the Saints game. One of the best NFL games I've ever watched. I watched the last quarter and overtime through the spaces in my fingers. SO EXCITED for the Super Bowl. Wow. Unbelievable. Poor Logan kept trying to sleep but I kept jumping up out of my chair with him in my arms. Sorry little buddy, if you're going to live in this family, get used to the craziness of football season.
WHO DAT!!
(Except last night Calyn kept cheering, "Geaux Tigers!" Close enough.)

Positive
There was some concern that my last post and my Facebook account have been a little negative lately. Honestly, I'm doing much better. I've ventured to Sam's Club, Target (several times), and the zoo solo with my dynamic duo. I KNOW things could be a LOT worse, and I'm grateful they're not. I really do feel very blessed with my life. I have two healthy, happy children. My husband loves me and our kids. He helps around the house and works very hard in his profession. I have a great family and wonderful friends. I really am thankful for all the great blessings in my life. Sometimes I just need to vent some steam.
I just love his little baby hands and feet.

Treading Water
I think this kid is getting used to having space to stretch out.
It seems he got his dad's and Uncle Craig's long skinny legs!
This past weekend we went to Baton Rouge for a Mexican fiesta celebrating Josh's birthday. Calyn was a little tired and I felt like I wasn't able to socialize because of the kids, but I guess that's my new life right?
Three babies getting a drink.
Calyn is a multi-tasker.
Today was so beautiful that we headed to the zoo. It was actually really fun and relaxing. The stressful part came after the zoo when we tried to have lunch with Aaron. Let's just say both kids (and their mommy) were tired.
Last week I felt like I was drowning. Now, I'm just treading water. Hopefully soon I'll be swimming and actually getting somewhere. The one to two kid transition has been a little rough. The problem is still the first one. I guess because she's still the unknown factor in this child-rearing equation. I know what to expect from Logan. She's been nice to him, but acting up in all other aspects. Not listening, telling me "no", throwing tantrums over bath time and brushing her teeth, etc. It's been rough on her not being the center of our attention anymore. Then poor Logan is getting dumped in the swing or his bed anytime he's happy because I've got other things to do. Just not enough time, arms, hands, and patience to go around. Blah. But, things are getting better so I'm hopeful. Uninterrupted sleep might help too. I'm not really sleeping less hours than before, but it's broken up sleep so it's not as restful. Last night I fed Logan a bottle of water instead of his milk. Maybe I should start turning on the light.

Goggle Time
We're doing alright over here. It is definitely an adjustment having another kid around. The hardest part is STILL the first one! It will be a little while before we find our new "normal", but as you can see from the pics, some things never change.

Logan Scot Mangum
This sweet baby joined our family on December 29, 2009 at 7:56am.
7 lbs. 10 oz. and 20 inches long
I rang in 2010 alone, in a hospital room, two units of someone else's blood running through my veins, and drugged up on painkillers and sleeping pills. My sweet new baby was down the hall in the nursery being treated for mild jaundice. I sent Aaron and my mom home with Calyn so everyone could get a good night's rest. It was actually the best night I spent in the hospital. I just made a mental note that I had never been alone on New Year's Eve. But, the next day, on the first day of the new year, we brought home our new baby, little Logan.
I was a little worried that Calyn would be jealous of Logan, but as she likes to constantly prove me wrong, she adores him. She even gave him her silky and blanket. For those of you who know Calyn, you know how very big that little gesture was. She is very protective of him. In fact, when we told her that he was her brother, she replied "Oh he's mine? Thank you!"
Going home...finally.
My CHILDREN!

Merry Christmas!
Santa was good to her...maybe too good
I decided to unload my camera for the arrival of Logan, and that led to getting one more set of posts up before my life changes again forever.
Just wanted to show you my belly dragging on the floor. My Christmas was complete when Aaron gave me a sweet electric purple Ipod nano! It was inside an Irish Spring soap box. At least it wasn't buried in a trash can like some presents have been in the past.
Santa was so busy that he dropped off Calyn's kitchen set unassembled. The nerve. Litros and Aaron told him they would be his helpers this year. Those two had a lot of fun putting that thing together. Let's just say they didn't hesitate pulling out the drill.
