Our newest blessing!

We are so excited to share our newest blessing with all of you. We will be adding a new little one to our family in October. Another October baby! God is so good! Lauren will be almost exactly 3 years older then her baby brother or sister. Our new little baby is so lucky to have such a sweet big sister. We can't wait to see the two of them together.

Easter Sunday

Today we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior. What an amazing message to proclaim: He is Risen! So with all the bunnies, chicks, candy and eggs aside, we put Christ as the center of our celebration. Hallelujah, He is Risen!

Lauren called her dress "my ballet". This is what she calls pretty much anything that twirls.

Digging in her Easter basket

Daddy's Little Girl

Lauren got a pink baseball glove and ball in her Easter basket this year. I am sure there is no doubt who picked this out for her. Of course, Daddy and Lauren went right outside to break the glove in. Lauren also had to have on her sunglasses and bracelet before she was ready to play ball.

Hunting Eggs with Friends

We had an Easter egg hunt in our backyard for Lauren and her friends. Daddy hid the eggs, but before he could finish, the kids came running out to get their loot. I was cracking up. It was a great time and all the kids loved opening their eggs and eating the treats.

Once again, my daughter was the only one with stuff all over her face. This is actually her second change of clothes.

Lauren's Big Beautiful Bed

Lauren made the move to a big girl bed and things are going surprisingly well. Because we have such an active little girl, we were concerned that she would use her new found freedom to have an all night party in her room. We told her that the big girl bed comes with only one rule, "No getting out of bed until Mommy or Daddy comes to get you". She has done great and always follows the rule. She tells everyone that will listen to come and see her "big beautiful bed". We are really proud of our big girl.
