UPDATE
First - Jon passed the comp exam! This means he is ready for the step one and the next phase of our lives. We are mere weeks away. YAY!
Rissie's knee is seemingly back to normal. Her demeanor is so much happier - we hardly see that little scowl of hers anymore! :)
Lauren turned four! She has been declaring at every opportunity what a big girl she is now.
Gma Lee and A. DeAnna made her this cute cake.
Later U. Andrew lifted the girls up high with his leg. They loved it. (This is the same uncle that L. calls Mr. Incredible! :)
***
Yesterday we finally took her to the ice to try out her new skates. By the end of the session, she was off on her own.
Rissie's little boots were so cutte. She hardly used them though, most of the time she was pushed around on the big cone...and who can blame her?
Her hair was coming undone. Here is Rissie with A. Carillisa.
And this is the cone ride for Rissie - thanks to Alli and Aunt C.
What a fun day!
Check the sidebar for more fun updates that aren't going to be posted.
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

Oh how we miss you guys...in all your travels, when are you going to tell us that you're moving to LA??? Oh the fun we'd have! Glad to see that the family is doing well--congrats Jon!!! So, what exactly does that mean?
SOoo... Not a word of how much U. Kenny's back hurt after endless laps of taking the girls around the ice.
how fun that she got to try out her skates! We love having you here, hopefully you don't move To far away:)
Sorry to Uncle Kenny who was SO cute helping the girls skate...without recognition. Thanks Kenny you are awesome!
Congratulations Jon on passing the exam!!! Also Happy Birthday Rissie!
How FUN! I would love to take the kids ice skating, but thought I'd have to wait forever... CONGRATS & good luck on the boards!!!
That looks like fun! I wish we could have been there, and we don't even have long distance to blame. :( We'll try to be there next time!
We were just talking about Rissie last night. I wonder how long that knee was actually bugging her because she has a completely different personality. Pain is an interesting thing...
That skating was fun. We'll have to try and go again before you have to move to the other side of the country.
Hurray!! A new post...I know it's two weeks old but, I quit checking after seeing the same thing every time. Thanks for the update I really do look forward to them! Congrats about the test btw!!
