Blake's Blessing

This past weekend was Blake's blessing. A lot of family came up for the occasion. We had a bbq and a party for Jason's sister, Elaine. Lauren spent a great deal with her cousins and loved every minute of it. It was a special weekend.

Lauren's in Kindergarten and More...

Lauren has started kindergarten. She was more than ready. She loves everything about it, especially riding the bus and recess. It has been so fun hearing about her day and what she has learned. Blake and I walk her to and from the bus stop.



Lauren took swimming lessons this summer. She passed Level 1 and can now swim on her own. At the beginning of her lessons she didn't have goggles, but, once she got a pair she became a new woman and passed the class. Now we will find her in the bathtub looking like this.

Lauren and Blake

Here are some pictures of Lauren and Blake together. Lauren has really enjoyed being a big sister. She has been very helpful. She loves to be around him at all times, loves to hold him, and loves to sing to him. Blake doesn't seem to mind most times. He falls asleep to her singing and smiles at her. It has been a joy to see the two of them together.
It is amazing to me how much the two of them look a like as babies. Here is an example.
