We are back:) Happy 7 month birthday, Lauren!

Family picture when we went to the pumpkin patch! We had a great time even though it was a little chilly and really muddy:) Anna loved riding on the hay ride and picking out pumpkins with Daddy and Lauren was perfect throughout the whole thing. A fabulous day!
Anna at her pre-school Halloween Party. Anna started going to pre-school in September and absolutely LOVES it! She goes 2 days a week at our church and has a ball, loves to talk about her 'friends' and really likes her teacher. So much fun!


Lauren on her 7 month birthday! She is such a sweet baby and is growing like a weed. At her 6 month check up she was in the 92 percentile for height (27.5 inches)! We looked back at Anna's check-up and Lauren is an inch and a half taller than she was. So, we are pretty sure that before long, Lauren will pass Anna up (it's okay, Anna can discuss this with her Aunt Bethie, because Kitty passed her up as well:) She is eating all sorts of fun stuff (we even conned Uncle Drew into trying her cereal when he asked if it was mashed potatoes) and really into playing. The biggest blessing of all is that Anna and Lauren LOVE each other! I mean, seriously, LOVE each other. Lauren gives lots of her biggest smiles when her big sister walks in the room or starts talking to her. Anna is pretty protective of Lauren and even shares with her sometimes and loves to talk to her like Mommy does, it is adorable!
So, while we have been major slackers on posting anything, we are doing well, just super busy! We will try to post more pictures from the fall soon and of course, will post more costume photos after Halloween. Cakes and Aunt Bethie are going to spend Halloween with us and so are Uncle Andrew and Aunt Anne-Marie, so we are really excited about that!!! Happy Halloween all!!
