Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a GREAT thanksgiving with family! Looking forward now to Lauren's first Christmas!

The first picture is of my Grandpa with all of his great-granddaughters!

It's the most wonderful time of the year...!

We are starting to gear up for Christmas around here (yes, I know it is still two weeks to Thanksgiving, but these things take time!!).

We had Christmas portraits taken today and Lauren did so well!! She was a little scared at first, but then really got into it. Now how to decide which one to use for our Christmas cards!!

Six Months Old!

I can't believe our baby is six months old today! Where has the time gone? Even though this year has had several "ups" and "downs" - this six months has been the best in my life! Lauren is developing quite a personality. She is so funny and cute. We love her SO much!

Previous five months:

Hanging with friends!

Lauren had some fun visitors yesterday - Libby and her mom (my lovely co-worker) Rebecca. Libby is a freshman and really wants to babysit!! Good for us! I'm sure we will be calling her soon for a night out! :)

That terrified look is pretty typical for Lauren. I swear the girl is destined to become an actress. She has the most hilarious expressions!!

Oh my...

I went to pick up Lauren from daycare today and her "school pictures" were in...she was the display baby! I think you can see why from the pics below! Love it!

It's November!

Time to wear our turkey shirt! :)
