Spring!

By: Steph | Tags: , , ,

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…)

Go Away Winter

It’s almost May and it was snowing here in Minneapolis, so Lauren and I had some fun inside with the video camera.

    Lauren, Your Daddy and Mommy love you VERY MUCH, as we all do! It’s such fun watching you play and create such original fun with them. We lose count of how many times we watch the videos:) Spring and summer are just around the corner and then you will have the whole outdoors as your playground. Love you all, Nana Jo

Busy, busy!

By: Steph | Tags: , , , , ,

Busy is the word around our house lately! Lauren is moving a lot faster now and is getting into everything… she climbs and crawls over anything in her way and tries to pull herself up on whatever is near. With the nice weather lately, Josh has been taking Lauren rollerblading and although she enjoys the (Read the Rest…)

On the Move

By: Josh | Tags: , ,

Lauren is officially on the move. With the help of a Saturday morning Starbucks delivery from Manda, Lauren proved she’s just like the rest of the girls and loves her coffee. She has been crawling around quite a bit since which has gotten us started on child proofing the house.

Arizona

By: Steph | Tags: , , , , ,

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…)

So big!

By: Steph | Tags: , , , ,

Lauren is getting bigger and smarter every day! She is now tired of baby food and only wants to feed herself… which makes eating times a lot longer and much more messy. She’s also got a couple more teeth on top although I’m not sure how much she actually chews her food. Her new thing (Read the Rest…)

Buddies

By: Steph | Tags: ,

Lauren and Koda are getting to be good buddies… she breaks into a smile every time he walks up to her and she doesn’t mind a few licks here and there. She also likes to pull his hair, grab his paws and gives him a hard pat when she can, but he takes it all (Read the Rest…)

    That is a beautiful picture! Koda’s “time has come.” Now he’s getting some benefits, hugs and treats, from that cute little bundle of joy, Lauren. Can’t wait to see them interact as she gets more mobile…. Love, Nana Jo



Lauren wishes everyone a happy Valentine’s day! She had a party at daycare today and her room was completely decked out in streamers, balloons and goodies (although Josh and I got to claim the treats). And Josh made a feast for us at home tonight- crab legs and steak, yum! Sending lots of love to (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…)

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…)
