Dancing Queen
This weekend, we went to the state Elks convention and Lauren got to go (for the 4th time in her short life!) and she loved it. She made friends with the Grand exalted Ruler (the national president) and his wife. They gave her their pins (proof of meeting them) and she was thrilled. She even hugged them each time she saw them. She also went to some of the hospitality rooms (parties) and ate some snacks and met lots of people who would all have this conversation with her:
"Hi! What's your name?"
"My name's Lauren. What's your name?"
"My name is _____. How old are you?"
"I'm three. How old are you?"
Very cute and always got a chuckle out of the person talking to her.
Then we went to the dance. There was a lot of music and a dance floor complete with a disco ball and Lauren was in dancing heaven. During the second set, the singers were dressed like Elvis and sang and danced and handed out red scarves. Only the best "dancers" got a scarf to keep, and guess who got one? That's right. Lauren. She was so happy!
Finally, she said, "Momma, I so tired from all that dancing." So off to bed she went.
It was a great time.

Sweat head
Since the temperatures here have shot up, along with the humidity, Lauren is suffering from sweaty heay. Sweat glistens on her hair line, hair is stuck to her red cheeks, sand is stuck to every available body party and she looks like an angel, though a dirty one. Kids apparently don't feel heat or cold. When do we start feeling these things? I mean, if I could turn off being offended by the weather, I would. Then I could and would stay outside all day, everyday and suffer from sweaty head myself without a worry in the world.

Sorry for no posts for a bit...
You know how it gets. Busy. Lauren is always playing with her "friends" Max and Jesse (Max is a rabbit from the show Max & Ruby and Jesse is the cowgirl from Toy Story 2). They go everywhere with her and do lots of 'naughty' things that she gets on to them for doing everyday. Max doesn't like his 'yogrit' (yogurt), so Lauren will eat it. Jesse likes to play outside, so she plays with the chalk and writes on her hands. Lauren tells her not to do it, but 'she keeps doing it anyway!'
She has an amazing imagination and it is so cool to watch and listen to and to get involved with. She invites us to play with her and her friends as often as possible. Just this morning, I heard her tell Jesse, "...the baby is coming soon".

New edition. Not just a group any more.
We found out on our 7th anniversary that I am pregnant. Lauren is over-the-moon excited about it and when we went to the dr. earlier in the week, she was sure that was the day the baby would be coming home. Thank goodness it wasn't. We are so not even close to ready for a newborn in this house. I am due in early December.
Must start Christmas shopping now...

Long time, no post
Things have gotten busy in a good way around here, so sorry for the lack of posts. Easter was great and Lauren got more candy than even a good candy has on hand and she is trying to eat it all before I decided enough is enough and get rid of it. She has a while. John and I are being very good to not eat it, but it's hard. Joining the YMCA has helped both of us try to live a bit healthier.
Today is John's 30th birthday. I remember when he turned 18. He loved his birthday gift. He and a friend are going to Huntsville, AL to Space Camp (http://www.spacecamp.com) for a weekend in Sept. I think he is very excited!

Ah, the festivities are winding down...
Though today is our 7th wedding anniversary and John's birthday is fast approaching (he'll be 30!), the parties at our house are over. They were so much fun, starting with a family party, then we took her to Chuck E Cheese which is now requested daily and then she had her friend party. That's a lot of parties and a lot of thank you notes. Not to mention a lot of cool new toys. Thanks to all of you who read this and learn about our girl and our family.
