James's 26.2

James did it! He finished his first full marathon!

"That's my Igoo!"

Daddy showed Lauren how to make a fort out of a cushions and blankets this weekend. Naturally, Lauren connected this activity to the time Curious George built an igloo. She loved playing in her "igoo", especially when Daddy gave her a flashlight to play with inside!

Chef Pisghetti's

Lauren and Daddy made a pizza together. She loved helping, and when the pizza was ready, she was happy to dig in. Daddy said, "do you like your pizza, Lauren?" and she replied, "Yes, it's soooooo great!"

The Milk + Oreo Experience

(Yes, Kevin...I know I took it sideways.)

Oreos!

Lauren had her first Oreo on Saturday. Daddy taught her to dip it in her milk, and when she tried it, she exclaimed, "I want to do that AGAIN!"

"Trick or Treat" in 23 seconds

Happy Hallowe'en!

Our little bumblebee LOVED Hallowe'en this year. As usual, she started off a little shy, but once she warmed up, she was loving life. She especially loved the balloons and music on our street. Sorry the shots are a bit blurry...she basically did not stop running for the entire time.

Cousins!

Are you noticing a theme?

Yep, we take Lauren to the park a lot. Wouldn't you?

A few from the phone

Some "on the go" pics of Lauren...they're grainy because they are from James's phone. We are so proud of our girl, who has grown up so much over the past month. She is working on potty training (and feeling very proud of herself!) and starting to help get her clothes and shoes on and off. As always, she brings us so much joy.

What a Summer!

We know our sparkling narrative is not the primary reason you come to this blog, and we think these pics speak for themselves. It's the summer of Lauren!
