10/25-29/10

 Lauren and Miss Heather. 

Lauren has a busy little schedule!  

Monday: Art Class

Tuesday: Library Time at the Public Library

Thursday: Kindermusik at Holy Nativity Church

 Bailey at the library. Book Babies is the class that our babies are in right now and I think it is such a good program!  The teacher is very nice and expressive and fun.  They sing songs using hand and body gestures, listen to the teacher read a book and dance!  I'm pretty sure this is LEB's favorite part.  

 Lauren, Bailey, and Duncan

 On Wednesday, we spent the day in Chipley and had lunch with Jackson and Aunt Val at The Colonial Restaurant.  Jackson and Lauren were so well-behaved and ate a very good lunch.  :-)  Gigi, Grandaddy, and Ganny met us all there. 

 After our play date with Jackson, we went to Bonifay to celebrate Mama Lee's birthday.  

Lauren LOVED playing the piano.  She kept running back to it to play it over and over again.  

 Tami and Bill cooked a delicious dinner and Lauren had a fun time playing with Thomas Jay. 

She picked a flower for mommy...sniffle, sniffle. 

Lauren had a fun time riding on the golf cart with Thomas Jay and Ben and looking at all the cows.  When she saw them she started saying "Ooo" and pooch out her little lips. 

Sisters

"Smile Lauren..."  And this is her little smile.  :-)

"Thomas, you make me laugh!"

 Long, fun day for Lauren.  We got back home at 8:30pm -- time for bed. 

 Thursday is Kindermusik day and this week Lauren got to wear her Halloween costume!  

 I'm so glad we have this profile view!  Lauren's belly gets kinda big...and when it does, it pushes up the Snow White costume kinda high in the front!  ha!  so cute!

 Duncan is a firefighter!

 Goodness...lots of fun makes Snow White so, so tired. 

 The weather is getting a little cooler which means that all the mosquitos have gone away!  yay!  So, we enjoyed playing in the backyard one day this week. 

 Lauren and Dada watching Charlie Brown's Halloween on TV.  So sweet. 

10/18-24/10--PeePee in Potty, Party Hostess, and 1st Art Class

 We spent an afternoon after work this week in Pier Park strolling around and then to the pier for pretty views of the beach and gulf.  It was a gorgeous day.  

New Milestone this week: Lauren has now learned sign-language for "Thank You".  Yay!

 View from Hook'd.  Pretty. 

 'organizing...'

 Lauren took this picture of dada at his desk

 Watching the girls paint the signs for the Halloween Candy Buy Back Event. 

 Enjoying the ability to walk ALL over the yard and walkway without somebody telling her "no". 

 Friday night, da mommy and dada had a date night while Miss Heather sat with Lauren.  She sent us a text message while we were at dinner: 

H: Lauren just used her potty!!

T: No diaper on? Peepeed in the potty?

H: Yes!  She was naked and I set her on the potty, and turned the water on and she went!  Lol  I made a huge deal about it so she got up, looked at it, and sat back down to try again!

T: Send us a picture!  I just got finished crying...ha!

H: Technically we "cheated" by using the water!  So you'll be here for the real one!  Lol. 

T: Okay.  Thanks for sharing with us the news.  This is Big!  No more baby LEB...

 Miss Heather said "Lauren, you're such a big girl!"  And Lauren threw both arms up in the air!  

 Such a sweet face

 We hosted a get-together Saturday night with Lauren's friends. The girls had a fun time playing with each other!  They always do...

 Having their picture taken with Laura

 Mommies and their girls

 Good-bye kisses...

 all around!

 And kisses on the head for little Laura. 

 Playing with Mr. Timothy.  He had the girls cracking up!

 Happy Lauren after church

 Art Class! Lauren's play group has organized an Art Class once a week!  Bailey Grammy comes to lead the projects and we rotate houses each week.  This was Lauren's 1st week and we hosted at our house.  I stayed to watch (it's usually just the nannies and babies) and took pictures.  Grammy is amazing at organizing 3 little 1-year olds without making a mess!  It was something to watch...  

 They made orange pumpkins with their little knuckles and painted leaves. 

Then they finger painted their t-shirts and painted Fall decorations.  So cute! And so much accomplished in 20 minutes!
