I had a surprise visit from my family a couple of weeks ago- it was a total shock to come home from work and find them all there waiting! I was pretty emotional at first, but after they assured me that it was just a fun surprise, I was able to relax and calm down (Read the Rest…)

What a wonderful surprise and I know you had a great weekend! The pictures are great — and I know your parents loved having you all together. Love, Nana Jo
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…)

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.

Yea! I had been so anxious to see how big Lauren is getting! I can’t believe how long her hair is getting. Looks like you all had lots of fun with Nana and Opa.
This past month has been pretty quiet and uneventful so we’ve been tucked in at home staying warm! The weather was really nice over the weekend, but Lauren has a terrible cold/cough so unfortunately we weren’t outside enjoying it. Grandma Mary has been down a couple times and Lauren always loves her visits- and hates (Read the Rest…)

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.

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…)

Lauren is so close to walking- maybe she’ll wait and take those first steps on her birthday! Her new favorite thing to do is pull all of the clothes and towels out of her dresser drawers. She’s also getting a little attitude, which the girls at daycare claim is her way of expressing independence. Lauren (Read the Rest…)

It’s great to finally be able to get out and enjoy some warm spring weather! Josh repaired our swing set in the backyard and hung a baby swing for Lauren- she loves it! She’s also has fun playing in the grass and getting dirty… I think baths will have to become more frequent now! We (Read the Rest…)

We spent a wonderful week of vacation in Arizona visiting Rob, Joanne and extended family. It was great to enjoy some family time, warm weather and sun! Lauren’s first plane ride went smoothly- she slept most of the way there, although the return trip was a little more stressful. It is hard to entertain a (Read the Rest…)
