It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....

And I couldn't be more excited! We are in the process of decorating the house and getting everything ready for Santa! And the snow fell yesterday! Here's hoping for a white Christmas!

For Thanksgiving, we spent the day in Indiana and had a great time! Everyone got to meet Lauren and Ann took some wonderful pictures and she has them posted on her blog. We really did luck out with a good kid, the entire 3 and a half hour trip there, she only woke up once and didn't wake up at all on the trip home. At this point I was afraid she wasn't going to sleep when we got home, but guess what, she did :)

Not much has happened since Thanksgiving, but Lauren really is starting to come into her own. She has created her own schedule and it has been pretty easy. We really are just hanging out at home, decorating for Christmas and taking pictures.

A House Divided?

Yep, and always will be ;) Aaron is now outnumbered with two for Michigan and one for Ohio State, though, I am sure if Aaron could claim the dog and cat as Ohio State fans he would, just to win, obviously :)

It has always been said - even before Lauren came into our lives - that if we were to have a girl, she would be a Michigan fan and if we were to have a boy, he would be an Ohio State fan. This scenario seemed to be fair enough... until the time came for Lauren to wear her little Michigan cheerleader dress to the "Big Game" at a house where we would be outnumbered and Aaron wanted to renege on our agreement. This was a debate I was not going to back down from and after all was said and done, I won and Lolo got to wear her outfit and was the hit of the party!

And we even took a picture to document the occasion :)

Just Because...

When I do find a moment and I there isn't enough time in that moment to type something clever to accompany it, I take to scrapblogging. Here is an example of my scrapblog enjoy!

(Some of) Lauren's Loveable Moments...

I am going to try and keep a continuous list of the little things only a mother could love about her child. I want to do this to preserve the small memories that can slip through the cracks and forgotten about. So these posts are more for me than they are for you, but please enjoy them anyway!

1.) The "I'm poopin face."

2.) I just pee'd on dad incident.

3.) I jut pooped on mom incident.

4.) I'm not smilin', I'm a fartin', also known as Gas Smiles.

5.) The good morning face. Though it has only happened a few times, I fall in love with it over and over.

6.) Baby feet - which I have always loved, but love them even more now that they are my child's.

7.) Baby hiccups! Lauren always had them in utero (honestly, 2 or 3 times a day) and now I get to see them instead of feel them, but it is still the same loveable feeling!

8.) Let's just say Butt Rockets have a whole new meaning!

9.) Letting her get away with napping on my chest for I know she's only a newborn once, she can get away with it for a few weeks.

10.) Baby snores :)

Photo-Ville Friday!

As most of you can imagine, the free time I once had is now dictated by Miss Lauren. While this is an expected change and one we love, it means the other things we once loved doing are now sitting on the back burner. So, what I have decided to do is, every Friday I will proudly display the random photos of Lolo that were taken throughout the week, because those are more fun than anything I would have to say anyway, Enjoy!
