this morning i had one of those harried mom mornings. you know, the ones where you are doing a million things at once and everything and everyone comes first and it's five til the time you're supposed to leave and you're still in your bath robe. yea, one of those. but, feeling very proud of myself, i managed to get me and matilda bathed, two batches of muffins baked, both of us dressed and fed, and we were out the door (albeit 15 minutes late) with coffee in tow thanks to sam.
where were we heading?
to celebrate logan "officially" becoming a xayaseng, although he's felt very official since he was brought in to all of our lives in december. unfortunately a lot of red tape, paperwork, and fees have to be tied up. done and done. i'm so proud of them.
beth threw the sweetest fete in logan's honor. very emotional and beautiful brunch.
see all the pictures here.

What better a challenge for a first morning out with a newborn than Ikea? Hey, if you can make it through that crash course it's easy sailing from there! Well, that's exactly what Jessie and I did with little Matilda and Logan in tow.
Picture this:
-Two strollers
-Two hungry babies
-Feeding them in the couch section
-A blowout
-Changing them on a bench because the family restrooms get more action than a subway turnstile
-Trying to get 2 bottled waters with all those lanes and 2 strollers
-Jessie lifting a chair off a high shelf
-Pushing a stroller and pulling the cart behind us...one cart turned in to 2
-Me pushing the strollers back and forth to keep the babies happy when Jess forgot something and had to run and get it
-Self checkout...need I say more
It was an absolute crack up. Then (Jessie doesn't know this yet) I'm convinced I parked on a different level than she did. I go to the other parking deck and it's a crime scene waiting to happen. No one is around, it's dark, and the freaking elevator won't come back down to get me and my worried child.
I don't think I've ever been so exhausted from a shopping trip! We did however get some great buys, which I will post about later. Until then, sit back, relax, and be thankful you're not at Ikea.
