This was taken in our backyard on a recent spring day. We had been home all day and I had been playing with our new camera and thought that this would be a great opportunity to take some spring pictures. This was one of 105 photos taken that day. From 10 in the morning until 4 in the afternoon. Sounds like I have a picture taking addiction...and I do. Wouldn't you with such beautiful children to photograph?
Enjoy and Happy Easter!! (I know I am a week early)

One more week

Until Lauren is 4 YEARS OLD!!! Where has the time gone? And, I see it going again with Jack. It's unfair. Completely and utterly unfair. Daily, she is becoming more kid and less preschooler. She talks like she is older, looks and dresses like she is older, uses more of her imagination to come up with even more elaborate stories, asks more in depth questions and more and more does things to entertain Jack. She loves to make him smile and chuckle. She is a little momma. I just love her so much. How to make time slow down...?

This is my last post...

As a 32 yr. old. Lauren said that tomorrow we should go to Chuck E. Cheese since it is my birthday, but I told her we would probably go somewhere else...

More later...

OK, so...

We are better. Best of all? Lauren never got even a touch of that nastiness. How is that possible? I don't know, but I am SO thankful!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Lauren loves school, and really loved her field trip yesterday to the train museum downtown. Jack and I went, too. He slept, I visited with a friend and then we enjoyed the rest of the AWESOME WEATHER!!! 78 DEGREES IN MARCH!!!

Getting our butts kicked!!!

So, the stomach flu. It's getting us. Long. Hard. HORRIBLY!!! John had it Sunday and was fine by that night. Monday night, Jack started vomitting. I woke up with it Tuesday and Jack continued. By Wednesday, I felt fine and Jack continued so we went to the dr. He said, "Start blah-blah-blah formula and he'll start improving". I cannot find that formula but got another one. He slowed down a bit, then it came back. Last night before bed, VOMIT ALL OVER ME, JACK, HIS HANDS, CLOTHES, MY HAIR, THE BATHROOM SINK, ETC., ETC., ETC. Wow...that's all I can say. Wow...
More later.
