Still snowing....

Here is the progress. The flowers are about burried, up to the first bar on the gate. About 6 hours into the storm...

Snow day!

We are expecting a big snow storm today- 12-18 inches of snow in town. Jeff is working a double shift today, and wont be home until 11pm, and he took the 4WD truck, so Lauren and I are holed up in the house today. We are going to lay around in our pjs all day and bake cookies and play games. Here are some pictures- about 2 hrs into the storm. It is falling hard and fast, I will take photos again later to document the progress. Had to snap some shots of my flowers- they will likely be burried by tonight. You would think they would learn their lesson by now- not to come up in february and march no matter how nice the weather- this happens to them every year. Makes for some fun pictures though...

Bumpy name labels

These things are cool. They are rubber things to mark your baby's bottle- called Bumpy Name labels. Kalima, Lauren's daycare teacher recommended them. She has them in bubble-gum pink with her name and a heart on them. She has old-fashioned glass Born Free bottles that she drinks from. Glass seems to be the eco-friendly, baby-friendly, tried-and-true material. No worries about toxic plastic. Anyway, I think these bottle markers are a great idea- a good baby gift for someone with a little one in daycare.

Kaiser Family Photo

This is only the 2nd picture of our family (minus Casey this time...). Our other picture was at Xmas when Lauren was only 2 weeks old. Guess we gotta get more on the ball. Anyway, here it is. Jeff's cousin Chuck and his girlfriend were our dinner guests this friday, and were nice enough to take this photo of us. Lauren was a social diva, as always. We went to happy hour at the Tavern Uptown with some friends who moved away to the east coast- Lauren was alert and happy for over an hour and impressed everyone. Then she continued her social evening to host Chuck and Brittany for dinner. What a sweet heart. There is a lot of history/ drama already associated with this photograph ( i might be a psycho-mom after all)- if you have some time, I can tell you the story...

I cannot stop taking her picture...

The "sleep is for the weak" t-shirt was Jeff's purchase. Kinda cocky, huh? He bought it before she was born, does that explain it? Not so funny anymore...

Play till you crash...

Spring weather

On St Patrick's Day we had corned beef and cabbage on the porch- it was in the upper 70's - so nice!

Pretty blue eyes

Everyone thinks that Lauren has brown eyes. I think everyone expected it because my eyes are so dark. She actually has very pretty blue eyes- here are some photos.

Baby yoga- Love it!

Today Lauren and I tried out this DVD- it is yoga that you do with your baby. It was so fun! There are many traditional yoga poses, but they incorporate baby. Sometimes you are holding the baby and lifting her to use as weights. Othertimes you are doing poses over her, or push-ups over her where you kiss her at the end of each rep. There are baby parts too, where you strech and strengthen the baby. Overall, Lauren loved it. She laughed and giggled, and is now napping solidly. I highly recommend this DVD- super fun!
