Loading up GG

Lauren is fortunate to have two great-grandmothers to visit with. 'GG' came over for dinner recently and LEW loaded her up with animals while she ate. GG was very patient and didn't miss a beat eating with lots of visitors in her lap.

LEW knew she was being silly.

Lawn Ornaments

I'm normally not a fan of concrete lawn ornaments, but LEW is a big fan of this duck. He receives many hugs in a given week.

Baby S Arrives

LEW enjoyed meeting (and holding) Baby S recently.

So sweet.

School Pictures!

Lauren's school pictures came in today. And this is the first time that she smiled during a school photo session.

Baltimore Aquarium

Last month we visited the Baltimore Aquarium. Lauren enjoyed seeing the sites with Danny. This aquarium has so much to see it's a little overwhelming to make through everything before lunch and naps, but we made a good go of it.

Lauren and Danny enjoyed holding hands while they walked through the exhibits.

Nature Walk

Lauren and I saw the deer in our yard this morning and it reminded me that I had pictures of when this happened a couple of weeks ago too.
It was great to see the deer so close. The momma deer used to have three babies with her and now there only seems to be one, we're hoping the others were just sleeping (but not by the side of the road or in someone's freezer).

Ladies Luncheon

We are looking forward to Susie's wedding at the end of the month! We held a luncheon in her honor in Annapolis a couple of weeks ago.

The next day, Jen and I shared our I-tunes music with Susie to find wedding music.

We definitely found an "original" mixture that she could use!

Baby Shower

It was a treat to host Jori's baby shower over the weekend. The nice thing about not having furniture in the living room means that we could fit the tables and chairs without having to move anything and the room looked full for the first time!

The cupcakes continue the theme of the invites and say, "Feather her nest".

Cute safari theme quilt.

The hostesses with the Mommy-to-be.

Lauren opened the hostess gift and decided to try on the lip gloss.

She actually did better than I thought she would putting it on.

She told me that she looked pretty, then laughed.

More Playdate Fun

I figured since I haven't blogged in awhile that I should unearth some of the fun photos from the summer. Here's some cute ones of Lauren and Amelie sharing an evening of fun together!

Melissa masterfully pushing both kids at once.

I wish I had video of the squealing that was taking place here.

Resting after playing outside.

More relaxation.

And this one just because...such a cute outfit Aunt Jennie.

Fun Times with T

So it's been so long since I posted, that the computer didn't even bring up this page as I started to type the address!

I don't know where to begin, so I'll start with an evening Lauren and T shared recently. Lauren has such a good time playing with T. They have figured out that they can do laps through the living room and kitchen. Here's a quick video of T driving and Lauren enjoying the ride in the baby stroller. Too cute!
