We had a fun Easter weekend at home. It started with a family festival at church on Saturday morning where we made a flower pot, sang songs and Lauren got to hunt for Easter eggs. She loved opening the plastic eggs over and over again, whether there was a treat in there or not! Saturday (Read the Rest…)

Lauren says “I do it!” only about a hundred times a day. And when she wants to do it, whatever it is, she does not want our help! This usually means whatever we are doing will take 10 times as long, which can be a problem as we try to rush out of the house (Read the Rest…)

Oh my gosh, she is such a big girl! :) When did she become a “toddler”??? We can’t wait to see you in a month, it has been way too long.
We spent a wonderful week in Arizona visiting Rob, Joanne and extended family! It was a treat to get away from the cold weather for a while and we had some fun outings while we were there. Lauren did really well with all of the traveling and schedule changes. She was very happy to spend (Read the Rest…)

It was wonderful to have you all here. Lauren was such a little traveler — by car or backpack. We loved spending the week with you. The pictures of the Desert Botanical Gardens are beautiful! We are looking forward to seeing you back in Minnnesota soon–and picking up reading the “Itsy Bitsy Spider” again Lauren. And, just for the record, those pictures I took in Sedona do NOT accurately depict the severity of the “drop” below the stone bridge:) Love to you all, Nana Jo
What a wonderful holiday season we had with our families! We spent Christmas in Grafton and it was great to see my brothers, mom and dad, and lots of extended family. Lauren especially had fun with my cousins’ kids and loved being part of the gang. She received a harmonica from her uncles that she (Read the Rest…)

It looks like a wonderful Christmas was enjoyed by all in Grafton! We loved having you at the lake over New Years too. Thanks for all the wonderful pictures — it is so much fun to view them over and over……it’s amazing
to see how much the girls have grown, and ARE growing! I see changes every time we are together. I don’t think I will ever forget the look on Lauren’s face as she came out of the bedroom after pushing the test button on the carbon monoxide detector:) Fun times. Love you all, Nana Jo
Wow, I just realized we haven’t posted in a month! The last few weeks have been busy, starting with Josh and I traveling to Boulder, CO, for a family friend’s wedding. The weekend was great- Boulder is a cool city and the weather was perfect for walking around Pearl Street. Josh was their photographer for (Read the Rest…)

p.s. Your Christmas Card is adorable too!!! Even Phil made a comment about how cute it was!!!!
We had a fun Halloween and although Lauren didn’t really understand trick-or-treating, she sure liked her kitty costume after several dress rehearsals! She didn’t want to wear her costume at daycare, but seeing all of her friends in their costumes must have gotten her excited to wear it for the night. We had our friends, (Read the Rest…)

Steph & Josh ~ What great pictures! We sure had fun trick-or-treating with you guys. Megan also enjoyed using the butterfly costume. Even though she didn’t even realize it was on. :)
It’s been a while since our last post because there hasn’t been too much to report! We’ve had a lot of down time in the past month which has been really nice. November and December are looking quite busy already so we’ll enjoy these weekends of rest and relaxation! Josh did get out hunting last (Read the Rest…)

I have been waiting for a post to see how big Lauren is getting! I can’t wait to see the Halloween outfit! Maybe she will warm up to the kitty outfit when she realizes people are giving her candy :)
We recently spent a week visiting my brothers in Oregon. My parents went, too, and we all had a great time together! We stayed busy in Portland, taking in some of the area sights and spending time with Jeff and Jon’s friends. The highlight of the trip was spending the holiday weekend in Pacific City (Read the Rest…)

My mom and dad came down last weekend to celebrate Dad’s birthday with us. The weekend went too fast as always… Saturday we headed over to the Mill City Farmers Market and Como Zoo. It was a gorgeous day to be out and we had fun watching Lauren react to the zoo animals. We were (Read the Rest…)

We took advantage of the beautiful day today and went to the MN Zoo! Lauren had a great time looking at all the animals- she especially liked the fish and the prairie dogs. And when she wasn’t checking out the wildlife, she was observing all the kids around her. She also had some fun with (Read the Rest…)

LOVE LAUREN UPDATES!!!!!! Thank you for the new pics…and the news even if it wasn’t all fun news. Love you guys…
We hope everyone enjoyed their 4th of July weekend! We spent the weekend at the lake and enjoyed the beautiful weather with family and friends. Lauren liked being in the water and even got a very slow ride on the jet ski. It was a little harder for Josh and I to sit back and (Read the Rest…)

I love those pictures of Lauren eating the watermelon. Looks like the best way to enjoy it :) We are excited to see you this weekend and have the long anticipated “meeting of the cousins”!
Love, Erin
Lauren,
I love your bunny mask — it looks like you had a fun weekend creating flower pots, decorating Easter eggs and hunting for Easter eggs! What a beautiful Easter picture of all of you. We missed you and can’t wait to hug you in a few days. Love, Nana Jo
