The very beginning of what would become 3 coats of new textured paint on the back porch. Looks great and he’s tired!
The big kids enjoyed an awesome program at church this weekend, that lasted Friday night and then ALL day (9am-9pm) on Saturday. They were in groups by age/grade/gender, had great speakers, bible studies, discussion time, and fun with water and shaving cream. Could it get better than that? We did have to pull the boys out for a couple of hours for their last regular season baseball game. They won and are in 1st place going into the playoffs. Go Red Sox!
So, with the big kids gone, we had some “only child†time with Lainey. Here she is on Saturday morning, enjoying some diaper time.
I love her huge smiles when her eyes disappear! Mine did the same thing when I was a kid.
Dinner Saturday night was Chinese take-out (and Firehouse subs for me)…here she is being silly with daddy and her fried rice.
Abbey had her Real Life Group (6th grade girls bible study group) at church tonight and was in charge of desserts since they were having a party. She made these cupcakes all by herself and was quite proud. So was her mom.
Hey, Payton…where is your cleft palate?
Lainey turned 22 months today. Oh my goodness, only 2 months till she’s TWO!?!?!

So the porch is a lighter gray now…looks great from what I can see! Lainey looks so relaxed laying her head on her teddy bear, and I love the photo of her holding her head in her hands..what a cute smile!! Tell Abbey that Granma and Granpa are proud of her for those delicious looking cupcakes, too! Love her blouse…very pretty! Looks like Lainey is counting Payton’s teeth! Glad the kids had such a nice time at the church program…that was nice. Wow, GO RED SOX!! When are the playoff games?? We’ll be rooting for them! Your dad opened his birthday card a little while ago and loved the comments from the kids and is very happy with the Outback gift card….THANKS!! Love to you all, Mom & Dad PS We had a great trip to Tennessee and enjoyed the car show with over 2000 cars of every color of the rainbow!

Way to go guys !! Wish I could see the tournament/playoff games. Abbey looks so grown up doing her baking. Tell Randy that he can come help me get some jobs done when he finishes down there. (like he will ever get finished??? there is always something to do, isn’t it?)
Love the picture of Lainey with her hands beside her cheeks smiling. Her pretty eyes do disappear when she smiles, don’t they? She looks so happy. She is quite the clown which makes her fit right in with you all !!!

Donna –
Wow…I thought that picture of Abbey was one of your adult friends!! She’s looking a bit too grown up all of a sudden!! (Beautiful, but too grown up!)
Loving the updates and pics of Lainey. It makes me smile to see her pics and remember how long you guys waited…the wait’s a blur now, I bet!!
Thanks for keeping us in the loop with your family!

Lainey is getting cuter and cuter. Your weekend sounds just perfect.
