Brayden has had a tough few days- just cranky and hard to please. His top two teeth started coming in last weekend and so we thought that was part of the problem; he’s been drooling like crazy, giving him a rash on his chin, neck, and chest and he chews hard on anything he can (Read the Rest…)

Lauren started Sunday School this fall and our church had a Bible dedication service where all the three year olds were given their own Bible. She is also singing in the Starlite Singers group at church. It took Lauren a couple of rehearsals to get comfortable and participate, but she seems to really enjoy singing (Read the Rest…)

What a great family picture! Love to see Mom and Dad in the picture, too! Lauren, your mom would sing and sing when she was little, too . . . glad you didn't get Grandma Mary's vocal (none) talents. Now it's you and Bumpa singin' in the choir . . . "he sings low and you sing higher"! Can't wait to give you and Brayden hugs and kisses! Love from Grandma Mary
It’s been hard to find time to sit down and write posts lately, although I can’t think of specific excuses why I’ve gone so long between updates. I guess it’s called “life with two small kids” but I’m sure families with more than two kids are thinking, that’s nothing! Honestly, I like to consider myself (Read the Rest…)

Brayden, you are just the cutest boy . . . can that smile of yours get any bigger! The picture of Lauren strolling you like one of her "babies" reminded me of how your mom used to dress up Jonny in wigs and tutus . . . he never complained either! Love all the pictures and thoughts on "time flying by", too! Hope you are having some of "October's bright blue weather" down there and "counting like misers, hour by hour" these beautiful days together! Love, Grandma Mary
Yes- we’re still here and have a lot of catching up to do! I’ll start with our day out at the State Fair, which might have been the coldest, windiest day of the summer. But we couldn’t not go and miss out on the yearly “cheese on a stick” photo! Brayden got to join in (Read the Rest…)

I'm not quite sure how to deal with how big Brayden looks in these photos!!! The last time I held him he was still so small! And of course Lauren is as cute as ever! Looks like you had a great day at the fair.
Our little guy is sure growing- he’s up to 17 lbs. 12 oz. at his last appt. and has grown out of most of his 3-6 month clothes! Brayden’s rolls are so adorable and he’s such a happy baby. He’s almost rolling over and close to sleeping through the night now. He grabs on to (Read the Rest…)

Brayden, you are such a cutie! What precious pictures of you and your dad and Grandpa Paul. You are definitely going to be a BIG defenseman for the Huskies! Can't wait to see you and your big Sis!
Love from Grandma Mary
We celebrated the 4th of July at the lake and also got to celebrate our niece Annie’s birthday; she turned 2 on the 3rd. The girls have so much fun together (as long as Lauren gets to be the leader) and they love the lake. Fishing, getting pulled in the tube (by Josh, not a (Read the Rest…)

Love those s'more faces! Brayden, I don't know how to deal with all your cute little rolls!! What a healthy, precious boy you are!
Our sweet boy is now 3 months and is such a smiley, happy baby. Brayden really only fusses when he’s hungry or tired- he hasn’t been sleeping that well at daycare so he gets a little cranky when I keep him up too late to play with him! He’s sleeping pretty well at night now, (Read the Rest…)

Brayden, you're so cute I can hardly stand it. So excited to see you this weekend!
Lauren turned 3 last Monday and she had a Jungle Book themed party. You would think that she’d want a princess or Ariel theme, but she has her ways of surprising us. Thankfully Nana Jo came through with a cake with Mowgli and Baloo on it or else it would have just been a jungle (Read the Rest…)

Lauren, we had so much fun at your party! You looked so cute all dressed up like a princess . . . it reminded me of how much your mom loved to dress up in her Auntie Laurie's prom dresses and her Grandma Wanda's high heels! Love to all of you . . . please give your brother a BIG kiss from Grandma Mary
We’ve been busy traveling over the past couple of weekends and have had fun spending time with our families. It started with a trip up to Grafton that included some time with my extended family- Lauren had a blast with my cousins’ kids and had her first DQ chocolate malt and dilly bar… in the (Read the Rest…)

Brayden, that smile of yours just lights up the whole screen! What a handsome boy you are with your BIG blue eyes . . . wish I could give you a hug right now! Love, Grandma Mary
Our boy is getting so big already! Brayden is over 12 lbs. now and the rolls are starting to show- I just want to eat him up! It’s been a treat to have him all to myself during the day and it makes me sad to realize that my maternity leave is more than half (Read the Rest…)

Oh, those cheeks, Brayden! Can't wait to kiss them and hug those rolls of yours! Hope you'll have some BIG smiles for Grandma and Bumpa . . . can't wait to see you guys! Love, Grandma Mary
We had a great time with my family last week and Lauren loved seeing her uncles Jeff and Jonny again. They each got some cuddle time with their new nephew but were most entertained by their imaginative, talkative, and spunky niece :) We kept them busy with trips to the zoo, the MOA and the (Read the Rest…)

Precious are the times when we're all together . . . such a wonderful two days! Lauren has those uncles of hers pretty much around her little finger, along with Grandma and Grandpa, too! And Brayden is just about smiling and cooing at all of us . . . such a precious little baby boy. Thanks for all the pictures . . . great memories! Love, Grandma Mary
Brayden, hope you're feeling a little better now. Bet your mom and dad miss those BIG smiles of yours! Lauren, your babies are going to be SO smart with you teaching them everything you know! Were those your music books you were teaching from?? Grandma and Bumpa can't wait to hear you sing some of your "Bible" songs!
Be sure to have your mom and dad take some pictures of you and Brayden in your Halloween costumes. Someone asked me today what you were dressing up as , , , and Grandma didn't know!! Have fun "trick or treating"! Love and kisses from Grandma Mary
