Thanks Jane
Jon's mom came to help right after my parents left. In fact, as my parents were being dropped off at the airport Jon's mom was being picked up. They even had a chance to say a brief hello. Jane was here for almost a week and was a great help as well. THANK YOU Jane! Marci, Jon's youngest sister, came all the way down for a day and half basically just to see her new little niece - of all the pictures being snapped I didn't get any with Marci on my camera (Jane or Marci, you'll have to send them to me.)

Where does it hurt?
3/14/05 Lauren's cough continues, and after her heartbreaking cries of, "I don't like my cough." I asked her where it hurt, thinking it could be either her throat or her chest. She said, "Right here." Then mouth wide open she pointed to her throat with her entire hand in her mouth and her finger at the back until she gagged.
2/19/08 This morning, we are eating breakfast when J interrupts the brief silence with a small basement burp. Without missing a beat, Lauren says, "What do you say, Daddy?" He excuses himself, then still in her motherly tone adds, "We don't fart at the table do we?"
Junk Food
9/16/08 Yesterday Lauren learned the difference between junk food and healthy food. So this morning, when she saw Rissie with a piece of candy, she said, "Mom, can I please have some junk food?"
2/9/08 Today Lauren asked me to redo her hair because it was "falling off!"
Cookie Dough
L: (in her sweetest voice) "Mom, can I have some cookie dough please?"
M: "Sure."
L: "Well," pause, "do you think you can get it from the fridge so I can like it?"
4/20/2008 So Lauren got some gum (not a fan) for being a good girl. Later, Jon asked her if she had swallowed it. She said, "No." Then he asked if she threw it away. She said, "No." So he asked her where it was, she told him it was in her throat.
L. and R. have been singing and dancing to their new piano that plays fun tunes. L. has been learning them and singing them around the house. A few days ago I overheard her sining, "Mary had a little sheep, little sheep, little sheep,...
Finding the Moon
Lauren shouts, "Grandma, there is the moon!" She started singing Twinkle Little Star, but in the mean time we had turned the corner and she soon discovered it was gone. So she tells Grandma, "We need to find another moon." 01/13/08
Kids are the best source of laughter
- I was getting dressed and L happened to be there and as I reached for my br_ she asked, "Mom, you put your b__bs on?"12/07
- R had gotten in trouble for something, then after some reflection L said matter of factly, "Well, she's learning."12/07
- L just told Jon to look at her stomach then lifted her arm, pulled down her sleeve, and showed him her armpit.12/07

What a cute, cute baby...can't imagine how you must have your hands full now...are you by yourself now? Are you waiting 6 years for #4? Ha ha!!
I am always so amazed at how fast those newborns change looks! Anna looks so different from those first few shots, but still so cute!
I think I am going to put one of those countdowns on the blog counting down the days until Jon and Becky are back in the states. I am aching to hold that baby!
Oh wow! She totally looks like Lauren to me in that close up picture! Rissy and Lauren look very similar, but I think (so far) Anna and Lauren are looking really similar! Very cute!
What a cute picture with those eyes open! All of them are cute of course.
It sure was a good feeling to see Jane arrive as we were leaving. Thank you Jane.
