Lauren is such a little love!

I thought it was time for a little Lauren update...plus I had really cute pictures!! Lauren is truly such a beautiful blessing to our family. Her sweet smile and sparkling eyes will pull us out of a bad mood so quickly. Watching her do everyday tasks that we take for granted helps us keep our lives in perspective. She really is a little love and is totally spoiled by everyone in the family.
Lauren also continues to do well in homeschool. Her most recent accomplishment is helping us spell rhyming words. Seriously! We can write the end of a word(-an), call out the complete word(pan) and then give her 2 letters to choose from to complete it(p, m). Do you know she gets it correct EVERY SINGLE TIME? EVERY TIME! And it doesn't matter who is asking. She did it for me, Daddy, Sarah and Dino today! I am going to try to get a video of her doing it to put on the blog. She is our little superstar and we are so proud of her. We are most thankful to Susan Norwell for showing us what our girl is capable of!
Enjoy the pictures. Then go hug your children and thank God for them.


Lauren swiped my cinnamon toast off the kitchen counter one morning. I returned to the kitchen to find an empty plate and no toast on the floor. I found her sitting on my bedroom floor, watching Dora....yep, with cinnamon all over her face....and not one crumb left!


Daddy was watching Carolina basketball one night in our bed. Lauren climbed up there beside him to watch. Clearly, she is a Tarheel fan too!


She isn't really that into decorating the Christmas tree. In an effort to keep her happy and entertained, I lined mini marshmallows up on the kitchen counter for her. She picked them up in order all the way down the line AND used a pincer grasp to do it! Woo Hoo! Yes, Lauren will work for food!



Sweet sister shots~ Lauren often will walk up to Avery and look into her eyes. It is so sweet!
We are blessed indeed!
