My poor, sweet 2nd born...

I'm not near as good as keeping up with photos, let alone posting them here. I'm sure I have some valid reasons for it not being as easy, but still, I'm sorry, my little Sweet Pea.
So, here's what has been happening lately:
She's got two teeth. Two very sharp teeth.

And puts everything in her mouth. Everything. Especially if it's the bottom of a shoe. Or trash. Dirt is good too.

She LOVES to move and doesn't want to miss anything!
(With her partner in crime, Gabe, of course! Susan, I think we might be in trouble...)



Isaac had to lower her mattress, because she recently discovered how to pull herself up to sitting and standing!


Smiles and laughs come very easily to her....especially when her sister gives her attention.
(And yes, I really like the fish shirt.)

Laurel truly has brought even more light and laughter into our house.


Her name, Laurel Susanne, comes from two important people in my life. My prayer is that she will have the committment, love, and hard work ethic of her Grandma Sue and the open arms, listening ear, and sense of humor of her Grandma Jan (Laurel).

Disclaimer: My mom and grandma have many, many more wonderful traits....too many to list here! =)

A little push

This came in the mail.

It's my confirmation booklet for the marathon. Even after all this time I've invested, I'm considering not running. What really are my motives? Do I really think I have something to prove this time around? I only have one more really long run...what is my problem?!? Blah, blah, blah....
But I LOVE race day.
So the booklet got me out the door....today.

Here are both my girls around the same age. Aren't they cute?!
