Here are a few pics – because it takes a while to upload pics and I want to get off the computer so we can watch this week’s LOST, there are more pics here http://www.kodakgallery.com/ShareLanding.action?c=vv8ykdd.a9u3aphl&x=0&y=-i0c8pu&localeid=en_US

Lauren has developed a love for talking on the phone…or at least for pushing buttons and occasionally muting or hanging up on people.

Like the black eye?  This occured on 2-18 when I fell off the back step onto my face. 

The next night I fell down in the kitchen – on the way down I cut just under my eyebrow from hitting the corner of the drawer I’d been playing in.

It snowed again   Wednesday morning was a rainy 45* – by lunch time I looked outside and saw rain mixed with snow, and only minutes later the snow was pouring down.  Only 4 hours later we had about 3 inches covering the ground.  I bought Lauren some snow pants from the clearance rack, so we pulled off the tags and tried them out early   They’re only a little bit too big   She wasn’t sure enough to go anywhere, but after standing out there for a couple minutes she got happy enough to move her arms.

This was the best kind of snow: Wednesday it snowed half the day, Thursday was cool but beautiful, especially with the day off of school, so Daddy was home early, and Friday was so warm the snow is already almost gone. 

Ok, here’s the last video for a while.  

Lauren really liked this peach.

Sorry for the length – I’m sure the grammas and papas who missed the party preferred the extended versions (though I did cut out what I could)

Here’s an old clip – it’s Alfredo Soup, the Musical

[now I'm off to watch 24, but watch for 2 more videos within 24 hrs]

Thanks, Gramma & Papa for the sweet ride!

Tonight Peyton insisted that I take some pics of his sun-shade and post them for Papa. Typically he refers to a pillow/blanket structure as a “home,” but mommy prohibits homes due to the expansive cleanup required (and the limited amount of cleanup that Peyton wants to do). So tonight, instead of building a home, Peyton built a sunshade.

Lauren discovered the heater vent on the floor in the front room.
