Eli John

Eli John was born on February 17, 2011 at 2:41 p.m. After trying to come too soon for about a month, Eli finally decided that he didn't want to come when the time came. He eventually blessed us with his presence weighing 7 pounds, 6 ounces and was 20.5 inches long.file://localhost/Users/DoreHousehold/Pictures/iPhoto%20Library/Masters/2011/11/24/20111124-204723/IMG_0002.JPG

It's been a long time!

Ok, so I realize that it's been quite a while and A LOT has changed. Since our last post, I was put on bedrest for about a month, Eli was born, summer came and went and school has started back up. So, here goes nothing!

Christmas in the eyes of a 2 year old

Christmas Eve, Lauren was NOT tired, however,
she fell asleep in Grandpa's arms within five minutes
of him holding her.

Reading with cousin Tara!

Quilt making

Today while I was working on making a

bag for someone, Lauren informed

me that I was not to walk on her mat

because she was making a quilt.

She got quite defensive when anyone

went near the rug!

Cooking Part II

Lauren loves to cook and bake with me-

She also really enjoys the sampling :)

Great Wolf Lodge

A while ago we were able to go to

Great Wolf Lodge with some friends -

Lauren loved every minute of it

All set to go to the water park!

No mommy, I'm not cold.
