Our little lady

This weekend has been so much fun! We went to Powell Gardens today, which was amazing. We had never been there before and it was really beautiful! Then Lauren spent 2 hours outside in her pool. She loves the water. I can't wait for the rest of the summer and to swim all the time!

Excited for the upcoming week! :)

Finding "nemo!"

My computer hasn't been working for a few days, so I'm a little late on this blog!

We had a great time last weekend at the SeaLife Aquarium, Lauren loved seeing the fish and then afterwards she got to have supper at the "choo choo" place - a train delivers your food to you!

This week she also had her first haircut. She did pretty well and her hair looks great!

Choo Choo!

We had a whirlwind of a weekend - lots of fun things to do. I think we will spend the rest of today just relaxing! On Saturday we had Lauren's school picnic and then celebrated by cousin Heather's graduation. We also got to hang out with our good friends Abby and Liam!

For mothers' day today we had lunch with Grandma Di Di and then rode the choo choo train by our house. May is certainly going to fly by with all of the activities we have planned this month!

Well, Lauren's 2nd birthday party is officially in the record books! Whew! We had SUCH a great time on Saturday at Lauren's Elmo party. I have honestly never seen her so happy - which made me so happy! She played her little heart out with her friends and loved seeing her family. Thanks so much to everyone who made it - it was a blast! Tomorrow is Lauren's actual birthday - she is celebrating by going to the doctor to get several shots. :(

May be a little picture overload, but I have so many cute ones!
