The moon




Lauren is obsessed with the moon. When she sees it she tells the world. When she can't see it she cries. She talks about it all the time. The other night she said "look mom, the moon looks like a banana." Craig had to get out his telescope to show her the moon.



Colin and Cade's birthday









The boys birthday party had a bears theme. Go BEARS!! Lauren always loves going to parties and playing with all her friends. We had a great time.



The "master" plan




Craig is almost done with his master's program.....can you hear my loud cheers!! Here he is in his cap and gown and the first picture is of him opening his graduation gift....I got him a suit. More pictures to come. The big day is DEC 18



getting ready for christmas




This is the first year that Lauren gets to have her own tree in her room. She was very excited about it. I made the mistake of telling her at night when she went to sleep we had to turn it off. And because she has to ask "why" to everything. She asked why we had to turn it off so I said if we leave it on it could start a fire.....don't know what I was thinking. She freaked out and now we never turn the tree on.



Time change




The night of the time change we kept Lauren up late so she would sleep late. Which was hard to do since she didn't take a nap. This is how the night ended.



The twins turn 3







We had a great time at Dylan and Luke's birthday party. It was a fire truck theme. So Lauren got to put stickers on her own fire hat. The best part was the fire truck pinata. They all pulled on some strings that opened a trap door. Happy birthday boys!!! You've come a long way since the NICU.

carving pumpkins







Yes it is almost the end of November and I am blogging about carving pumpkins. I haven't blogged in a while but I didn't want to leave anything out. We carved three pumpkins this year. Lauren tried to help. She liked to put her hands in. I was surprised she wasn't scared or grossed out. She really liked it. It was fun to watch her this year she really enjoyed the decorating and the pumpkins. She got to pick out her own pumpkins. It was pretty funny to watch her try to pick up these big pumpkins.
