We had a wonderful Christmas in Grafton with my family- lots of family gatherings, yummy food, and good times. It was especially fun to see Lauren’s excitement now that she understands the holiday. She loved singing Christmas carols and hymns (her favorites are Frosty and Hark the Herald Angels Sing), she repeatedly asked us to (Read the Rest…)

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…)

Thanks for the great pictures and video! The video perfectly reflects the squeals and laughter as they reeled in their fish and "enjoyed" the worms. It's always such a treat to see something new on your website. Love to all, Nana Jo
Our summer travels continue and the last few weekends have included one trip back up to Grafton and two trips to the lake. The trip home again was for my cousin Mark’s wedding- he and Andrea had a beautiful outdoor reception at the Park River Bible Camp. Lauren’s favorite part of the reception was the (Read the Rest…)

“Christmas, merry Christmas, has it really come and gone . . . with its joyous celebration, with its carols and its song?” What a wonderful time it was for Grandpa and me with all the family together again! Thank you, Josh, for capturing so many of those special moments! Lauren, the pictures of you and your cousins and Great-grandma Merle . . . precious! Christmas Eve and you in your little red dress . . . wonderful memories! We are so lucky! Love you guys, Grandma Mary
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…)

We started off the new year in Grafton and had a fun time celebrating a late Christmas and New Years with my family. It was great to have Jeff and Jonny home- they loved playing with Lauren and gave her a baby grand piano of her own. She loves dancing to the music! I was (Read the Rest…)

Great to see pictures of your celebrations in Grafton! That sweet little Lauren leaves a trail of love, smiles and happy memories wherever she goes. Miraculous, wonderful babies! Love, Nana Jo
We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. We had a great time in St. Cloud celebrating Lauren’s first Christmas with family and friends. Lauren enjoyed playing with Great Grandpa Paul in her jumper. She was excited to open gifts — so she could play with the gift wrap. She also got another visit from (Read the Rest…)

Great pictures! We sure had a lot of fun with the three of you! It was wonderful to get some extended time with Lauren :) Enjoy your New Years in Grafton!!!
Love, Erin
It’s hard to believe Lauren will be a month old this week… it seems the days go by pretty quickly lately and she’s definitely more alert now which is fun. She’s a pretty content baby- we made it through church this morning without even a peep. Her cries are usually limited to hunger or a (Read the Rest…)

Lauren, you are too cute!!! I miss you already, Shorty! Great pictures, Steph and Josh! Whew . . . busy week, but what fun to have her in ND! Thanks for all the great memories and photos of your FIRST trip to Grandma and Grandpa Hall’s. Can’t wait to “do the Manda” with you soon, little sweetie! Love and kisses, Grandma Mary
We made it through another week! This week has been much better in terms of adjusting and getting used to each other… that first week was pretty tough (especially on mom). Feeding is going much better, although the frequency is still a little overwhelming, and there are still some scheduling kinks to work on. I’ve (Read the Rest…)

What a great picture of Lauren! Do I see the start of a few little rolls around her legs? :)
I hope all of you have a fabulous and relaxing time at the lake and in Grafton. Let those Grandma’s rock Lauren and take a few naps.
Hopefully, I can stop over after you get back to meet that precious baby of yours!
Not much to report this week so I just wanted to share some old baby photos! As I wrote in the previous entry, I’m getting anxious to meet the baby and see what he/she looks like… will he have Josh’s eyes or will she have my nose? We had a nice trip up to Grafton (Read the Rest…)

seeing you on mom’s kitchen counter!! Love, great auntie Laurie
So I think the belly has grown since the last time I wore this shirt! It seems like I’ve gotten much bigger just in the last couple of weeks. And we’re officially into the single-digit countdown… 9 weeks left! The due date is coming really fast which seems a little scary at times, but I’m (Read the Rest…)

Oh Steph…that belly is so beautiful!! You guys are in the final countdown…enjoy the quiet house…the empty laundry baskets…and your SLEEP!!!! That little miracle is about to turn your world upside down in ways you can’t even begin to imagine…and it’s all awesome!!!! I had a little dream the other morning inbetween alarms that you and I were having a glass of wine and watching Logan play with about a 9 month old little GIRL on the floor…Hmmmmm…we’ll have to see in about 9 months, huh?? The other parts I all believe to be true…the wine and Logan playing with the baby…hahah!!! We love you and cannot wait to meet the little one…and you have never looked more beautiful in the 12 years I’ve known you!!!
Too cute!!! The kids look great and it looks like it was a very special Christmas with the boys. Love the updates!!! :)
