Now Look Who Is About To Be 5!

Time flies. Lauren will be 5 in a couple of weeks. We had her Birthday party a little early because her BFF who has moved out of state is visiting. Lauren had a grand time. Here she is with BFF Feliciana and other BFF from pre-school, Sloane.

Look Who Just Turned Two!

Livie really likes this Birthday stuff. She could really get used to being the center of attention. And presents.... presents are great! Livie is now 2 years old as of August 29th.
