Does Lauren Have Personality?!

Week Nine

Another great week in Lauren's life. We are so glad that Lauren and her uncle Todd were able to meet each other for the first time. The picture obove is of Karen, Lauren, and I all empathizing with each others flu's. Yes, Lauren got to experience her first viral infection this past week. Todd did an outstanding job with Lauren and also was a tremendous blessing to Karen and me.

Thank God...Every Time

I thank my God every time I remember you.

Little Buckeye

So Lauren got to experience her first OSU-UM game this past weekend. She put on her lucky shirt and lacey headband for the big game before we headed over to Dustin & Ginger's house to watch the game.

UM got off to a fast start and OSU was in trouble right away.

But OSU wouldn't give up that easily! We are always up to a good fight.

As usual, OSU won the game and is on top of the collegiate football world.
The way things are shaping up Lauren may get to experience her second OSU-UM game on Jan. 8, 2007, in the title game of the Bowl Championship Series at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. Whether UM has the chance to get beat by OSU again or not, we know the #1 rated Buckeyes will be ready to play on January 8. GO BUCKS!

Week 8 - Daddy's home!

The pictures below show Lauren and I spending time together after being away from each other overnight for the first time in her life. In 4.5 days this week I had 8 events and drove over 2000 miles, but the most difficult thing was spending time away from the two special girls in my life. The events were fun and successful, thanks for asking. Hopefully, from this point on, Karen and Lauren will be able to travel with me on business trips. Lauren likes to travel and Karen seems to like me so it should be lots of fun spending more time together on the road.

Speaking of the road - we will be staying home over the Thanksgiving holidays for the first time in a very long time; normally we would be traveling to visit family. We miss all of our family and friends tremendously and look forward to seeing each of you as soon as possible.

Lauren's Week Seven

Week seven in Lauren's life was filled with a whole lot of first time experiences. Among the many "firsts" that she had she especially loved getting to meet her great uncle Dave, great aunt Cheryl, and cousin Shane.




Another one of many "firsts" for Lauren was getting to experience the IHOP in Searcy, AR. "Grammy" & Grandpa McMorries came by in their new motor home for breakfast last Sunday. We all had a good time. Lauren enjoyed her first ride in a motor home, but mostly just loved the attention!





Note for Heather Keene: Karen & Lauren love the customized homemade diaper bag you had made for Lauren. Karen asked me to post this particular picture to make sure you saw the bag in use. :)

Home Sweet Home

We all made it home safely. Texas is much better when I travel with my two girl's. We had alot of fun together. It was especially nice for us to visit with Dave, Cheryl, & Shane again; it's been a long time since we have all visited together.

It is late so I am going to bed, however there will be more information about our trip to come. Have I mentioned we have pictures too? :)

Hope to see you back here soon!

We aren't in Arkansas anymore

The girl's and I are traveling together this week in Texas. We are having a great time, and Lauren is already a pro at traveling. Pictures to come soon.

She is such a cute bunny! Lauren was so committed to her character that she even had a cold nose.
