On Wednesday, Lauren had her 12 month photo session with Genya from VUE Photography. This time, she came to our house. I love Genya. She just makes us feel so comfortable and laid back as if we were just hanging out for the afternoon. We used 3 areas in the house: Lauren's room in her crib and window seat, in the playroom sitting Ma's 60+ year old sofa, and in the dining room where she had a partial-tea party with us. Here is a before "shot" of the dining room set-up.
Lauren, just being herself
The next day, still enjoying her cupcakes
On Thursday night, Eric flew to out to go fishing with Dr. Bob in Stuart so LEB and I headed to the lake. We stayed by ourselves that night and watched the sunset on the porch. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Crystal Lake sunsets.
The next day, Nan and Dick, and Gigi, Pops, and Aunt Kay down. Here is Nan playing with dog, Abby, and Lauren playing with her dog, Violet.

I think we're ready for the water!

Reny and her Aunt Kay
"I'm going for a ride with Aunt Kay!!!"
"Yeah, Aunt Kay. I think you press that button. Yeah, that one. Okay, do it."
After the ride....wind blown hair.

Pops and his girls!
That night we grilled out and visited with Gigi and Pops' friends.
One of her favorite things to do at Crystal Lake. She can almost climb up the stairs by herself.
