Back Home

I just had to share with you all, a little bit of Friday night sweetness, our little Margaux Jeanne!

Today we were at the mall and Dillards had a 40% off sale (everything I bought last Friday at 75% off was another 40% off today). Anyway, they had this cheap, but sweet nightgown that was too cute!

So here you go, I present to you, Margaux's first big girl Disney Princess nightgown. It is just too cute not to show!
Danny and I both agree, 10 years ago we would NEVER have let Maddie be caught wearing such a cheap flamable piece of clothing. Either times have changed or we are getting old. We think it is adorable!

And, one more picture, below. An action shot of Margaux WALKING to me! (Big time sniff, sniff!) It is so hard for us to believe 2 weeks from tonight we will be celebrating her 1st birthday! Again, I say over and over, "Thank you Jesus for Margaux Jeanne!"

I gave into the pressure...the anxiety...of the blogger challenge. A post documenting 24 hours, a day in the life of me, Denise Logan.

Basically I just wanted to get it over with. As of now I think only one other blogger challenger has completed this task, my baby sister Donna, who gave us bloggers the original challenge.

As you read, please find my humor! Hopefully you will understand as you read. In reality, all the praise goes to my sweet mother, the true virtuous wife who raised me. And, I do rise up and call her blessed!

So, as embarrassing as this was at times trying to stage pictures out in public, I give you... A Day In The Life of Denise Logan.

12:45...No verse, just pure sin. Caught in the act! Harry Jack not wanting to get in his car seat as we leave Target!

Onto the mall for hair cuts and some returns, but first lunch at Chick-fil-A!

1:50... Hair cut number one!

Let me say that I am being very sarcastic. I am really not thanking JLS for her recent actions which made her a prego teenager.

Sunday afternoon, after church, I took the girls with me to Publix, while Danny took the boys home. As we were riding in the truck Maddie asked me this question....out of the blue!


We climbed into bed with this book, one of my old nursing books, and I started to explain PART ONE, Puberty. It actually went quiet well. I was able to see the sweetness, the innocence, the loveliness of my daughter.

It was a time of prayer too. A time of praying with my daughter, for my daughter, thanking God for her life, her personality, her character, and praying for her purity, although she had no idea what purity is, and didn't ask--which was fine with me for now.

Hopefully we are still months, maybe even a good year or so away from PART TWO, "Where Babies Come From." Until then, I would now, sincerely like to thank JLS for her actions that led my sweet daughter and I to have a wonderful evening, talking about how we are "fearfully and wonderfully made."

This weekend we had the Annie Moses Band at our church. They were great! They are a family of 6 children ages 10-24 years. They all play string instruments and truly were a pleasure to watch! The above song, "When Daddy Say's I 'm Beautiful," made me cry and I wanted to share it with you.

My daddy makes me feel beautiful! God knew my dad would be a incredible daddy to girls, and He blessed my parents with five girls. I know I speak for all 5 of us girls and my sweet momma, when I say, we always felt loved and always felt beautiful. As a result, that feeling has turned into a confidence that can never be diminished by the influences of this world.

I love you daddy. Thank you for telling me I am beautiful. You make my heart grow!

Girls, tell your hubby's to tell your daughters they are beautiful!

Last night, after the birthday party, Danny, Dan Dan and my dad went to Boca Grand, a VERY nice private island off the Florida coast, to go shark fishing. Some friends of ours who are seasoned fishermen actually took them, and showed them the ropes. The story of how they actually "cast" the shark bait is intriguingly funny.

They hook a big chunk of meat to a fishing pole. Then, one guy gets in a kayak and rows the bait way out into the water, while another guy is on the beach holding the fishing pole. When the guy in the kayak is out far enough, the guy on the beach yells out, "that's far enough." Now you need to know that they go shark fishing at night and the "bait caster" is rowing out to sea... in complete darkness...with a hunk of meat ...in a KAYAK!

Anyway, about 9:00 last night we girls received a phone call from Dan Dan telling us that they did indeed catch a shark, a 7 footer! They all had to take turns bringing it in. And my love, Danny, was the one who "landed" it. (Thanks Jenius for the verbage.)

Well, our Maddie girl is officially 10 years old. Wow, I can't believe we have a 10 year old! What were me and Danny doing having a baby so early in our young life?

Yesterday afternoon we went to Englewood Beach and had Maddie's party. We had a bounce house, water balloon fight, pinata, and the girls decorated sun visors. Oh, and Dan the Man cooked up some pretty good food too!

So now the party is over. Thank you Jesus! One thing I learned at this party, place someone else, besides the birthday girls parents, in charge of taking pictures! My pictures stink! I think I had too much going on to try and focus on getting good shots.
