Summer Fun

Logan wanted to mow the grass like daddy, so he got out his mower this week. Laney loves to chase the mower when Chris cuts our grass and she did the same with Logan.

Stacia and the girls came over for dinner this week and the kids watched Sesame Street together. It's so much better when you are three inches away from the screen.

Logan created his first painting. It was a huge mess, but lots of fun. Part of his technique involved spinning on top of the paint with his diaper butt.

I'm determined to help Logan overcome his fear of pools. He didn't do too bad, but would only let me put two inches of water in the pool.

Jen's Career Change

I just recently made the decision to become a stay at home mom. As much as I love being a graphic designer, I was really feeling led to stay at home with Logan. After discussing this decision with Chris, we set a date for me to put in my resignation. I was set to give my two weeks notice on a Thursday. On Tuesday morning I stayed home from work with a migraine and started to think twice about my decision. I began praying that God would give me peace about my decision and let me know that this is where He wanted me to be. In the middle of my prayer I received a call from work, and they told me they were terminating my position. Wow, I couldn't help but smile as they told me this news. God had never given me such a quick and clear answer. I'm not going to lie, it hurts to be let go from my job, but knowing this is where God needs me is comforting.

Playing with Laney and Blowing Kisses

Logan learned to blow kisses. He especially likes to do this to random people in the store to get their attention.



Laney is excited to have a new friend. Logan plays with her and is always trying to give her his toys. Fortunately, Laney knows which toys are hers and which toys are Logan's and she will only play with her own.

Logan's First Birthday

We recently celebrated Logan's first birthday. It was a Curious George Theme party where we invited friends and family. Logan had fun playing with friends and opening gifts, but started to get tired when it was time for cake.

The Alger Family

We are excited to start keeping you updated on what's going on with us.
