Lauren was born around noon on New Year's Eve...we made it just in time for the tax deduction. Her pregnancy was quite a surprise, as many of you already know. Zachary was about 5 months old when I found out that we were pregnant (yes, they are 12 months apart and yes we now know what causes that). So, as you can imagine with a 1-year-old at home, the day we had Lauren was exciting to say the least. Dad stayed at our house with Zach, and Mom came to the hospital with Brian and I. My labor progressed rapidly...the doctor made it just in time to catch her. We thought she was the most beautiful baby ever! We had a hard time choosing a name for Lauren....I knew we were going to use my Grandma 's middle name, but we just couldn't find the right name to go with it. Well, we agreed on Lauren Sybella. It's hard to believe that was 10 years ago, wow! Lauren is my "little mommy", she is so good to help out, and she is very responsible! She loves roller-blading, dancing, jumping on our trampoline, swimming, drawing and riding the horses in Canada every summer.
Lauren chose to have a family birthday party rather than invite friends over this year. So, Michael, Bekah and kids, and Mom and Dad met us at Chili's for lunch and then we headed to the movie theater. Lauren picked "Bedtime Stories" and everyone enjoyed it! We came home, had cake and ice cream, and got ready to ring in the New Year. It was such a nice evening, thanks to our family for making "Lauren's Day" so special! We love you Lauren, and we hope you had a wonderful birthday!
Lauren then...
Lauren now...
