Taylor's Big Girl Room

Guess who has a big girl room? No, we are not officially sleeping in it yet (just a couple of naps) but we are spending a lot of time in there and preparing for the big move soon! Mama is a little nervous about switching from crib to big girl bed so I am dragging my feet...but we will attempt it soon enough!
happy girl

so proud

she is so excited! and luke and I had so much fun getting it ready for her!

Best Xmas gift EVER!!

So check out this hand crafted rocking horse! Officially the best Christmas gift ever!! My brother-in-law spent his summer off from teaching, hand carving this rocking horse...isn't it gorgeous??? Taylor absolutely loves it and it looks amazing in our living room! Thank you Jared for such an amazing gift that will stay in our family for ever!



Santa's little helper himself!! Better watch out....he will probably try to recruit you to work for him! Love you Jared!

Taylor is going to have a baby sister!!

I just realized I never actually posted on the blog the news of our next little booger bottom. Yes, we are having another GIRL!! We are super excited for Taylor to have a baby sister and we can't wait to meet her! The sonogram was wonderful and she looks healthy and absolutely perfect! Our due date is still on track for May 13th and the funny thing is that my sister in law, Carly, is due with a baby girl on May 15th....so it will be down to the wire on which baby girl will be older=) So many fun times ahead and we are definitely thinking pink in this family!

New Year's Day with the Lawrence crew

Let the spoiling begin!

Uncle Kevin and Aunt Carly gave Taylor her very own stroller, bed, and baby supplies so she can get prepared for her new little sister!

smiling little girl! It will be so much fun to have 3 of these booger bottoms at Christmas next year=)

Christmas 2009

We had an amazing Christmas! Tons of family, food, and fun! We were even snowed in for 3 days and made the best of it with quality family time=) I have had an amazing two weeks off and have enjoyed every single minute of it.

Classic Santa Picture: Taylor was Terrified!! Note: we have made some head way since this picture, she will now kiss the "fake" santas that are in our house=)

Thanksgiving at the Farm

Here are some photos from the Bell Family Farm. Taylor just loves running around and playing with all the animals. I have a feeling she is going to have more and more fun the older she gets. We are blessed to have Luke's parents who live in the country, so that our children will be able to experience the "farm life" and the "city life". Luke had an amazing childhood growing up on the farm and he is excited to share a piece of that with his own children.
