Sadness....

Sigh.....today was a sad day. We had to go buy Lauren some new clothes for winter because all of the shirts I bought a month ago no longer fit because she grew an inch! Her shirts barely covered her waist because her torso is longer now. So... no big deal you think? Well, all of the shirts I had gotten her came out of the toddler section. Now we are buying from the actual girls section! She is three years old! She is supposed to have at least one more year in little kids clothes before she graduates to the big girl section. I have nothing against tall people, but she is my baby and she is getting too big too fast. I had a tear in my eye as we bought new shirts. :( She is going to be as tall as I am by age six!

I have to apologize for the frequent change in background on this blog. I can't decide what I like. I hope you all are gearing up for the holidays! We decorated our tree yesterday. Lauren had a lot of fun. Christmas decorations were always a big part of the holiday season when I was growing up. I remember being so excited about seeing all the tree ornaments and all memeories they brought. Lauren is old enough now to have several of her own ornaments to put on the tree and she kept holding them and saying " When I was your age I got this one or when I was a little kid Grandma gave this to me.." I think Paul and I spent a majority of the time trying not to laugh!
