A little bit of this and that...

Leave it to the four year old girl to turn exercise bands into fashion!





The sky after a major thunderstorm. I thought it was pretty. 




Summer Fun! Finally got to break out Lauren's inflatable pool. Trying to get as much use out of it as we can. She'll be too long in another month or so!

I'm still here!

       Sorry that it has been so long since I've posted. Life got complicated for a bit. So here is the Lauren scoop: We are officially on ONE medication. Weaning her off of the other one was quite the experience. Her little mind wasn't sure what was going on and her behavior and attitiude got pretty nasty. I literally would put her to bed at night and then sit on the couch and burst into tears. Thankfully, all seems better now.  The only side effect we see is that she has a period of hyperness right after she takes her medicine.  I will take a little hyperness anyday over what we went through before! She is sailing right along in her reading lessons and is really excited to start kindergarten.  It's so excting to watch her learn!
        So the question was asked by my other blogger friends: What is your favorite sport and why.....Well, believe it or not, when I was younger I was actaully pretty athletic. I played tennis, soccer and I swam on a swim team for a while. I had a very short fascination with ice skating for a while.  My favorite sport to participate in was swimming. You could move much faster in water than on land so that made me feel like I was really good! :)  Honestly, I don't watch a lot of sports now, but I do love to watch the Olympics. Swimming and diving are my favorites in the summer and my favorite in the winter is ice skating. Only in my dreams am I that graceful!
