Thelma Sprague

Ryan's sassy and almost always feisty Grandma Sprague passed away on Wednesday February 24. We're sad to see her go but know she is so happy to be back with her eternal companion after 30 years of separation.

Happy Birthday Lauren

I'm a few days late posting about Laurens 5th Birthday. We had a tea party/luncheon for her birthday since having tons of little 5 year olds running around my house gave me anxiety. There is a fancy store here in Highland called Dear Lizzie and I love it mostly for the fun jewelry they have but they also have a great bistro inside as well. So we had a luncheon with her friends and it was perfect. They sat and chatted about which princess to be and seemed to have a good time.
We're so grateful for our Dado. We call her Dado because that was her first word and Dado was "dad" or Ryan. Everytime she saw him she'd say "Dado!" Lauren was definitely our calm after a crazy crazy Roo storm. I tell everyone I needed Lauren cause Reese and his toddler years almost prevented us from ever having more children. But then came Lauren and she was our calm child. When she was a toddler we called her Mona Lisa, she never smiled for anyone and when she did it was that half almost none existant smile. She was hilarious, not friendly at all but just there! She is so good with her sisters especially Ellie. She's really stepped up and played with Ellie since we had Lyndi. Ellie isn't always so nice to her but she keeps on playing with her, why I don't know maybe she has more patience. Anyway we're grateful we have our Loli Bell and all her drama!

And more...

I promise we have other children and that we spend just as much time with them as we do Lyndi. It just seems like right now I spend all my time with her and I want to get as many pictures as I can of her. She's getting chubbier by the day and isn't my scrunched up little peanut like she was even a week ago. SAD! :( But she is still such a good baby and so far my best one.
