A busy week

We had a very busy week. We had such a fun time with the cousins and by Friday we were worn out and very tired.



The cousins swam a lot and that was great fun for all of them. The heater is now off and so swimming will have to wait until May. This summer our main goal will be to get Lauren to swim by herself.



One of the special nights was the birthday party night. A few of the cousins have birthdays in March and April and so we had a joint birthday for all of them. It looked like Christmas with all the gifts and Lauren kept asking if she was going to get presents also. I think she was a bit disappointed that she was not included in the gift getting. She did help S unwrap a lot of her gifts.



We stayed out late almost every night this past week and so I had one very tired little girl tonight. She fell asleep within a few minutes of getting into bed. Hopefully she will sleep in this weekend.


The other exciting news for us was that Lauren is going to have another cousin. My sister in law is expecting her second child. She is due around Thanksgiving. We are all so excited and can't wait to find out if it is a girl or a boy.

So next year there will be a little baby to join in with the fun. I am so glad that Lauren has this wonderful group of cousins that are part of her family.

I hope she remembers these times when she gets older. It is pretty special to have a family that cares so much for each other and enjoys getting together.
