In the news...

New and Old Cousins are United!

Lou got to meet her new little cousin, just three weeks old!
Curly loved playing with one of her favorite friends and cousin! They are exactly one year apart and are finally starting to play nicely together most of the time. This picture was taken after dinner at "Old Spaghetti Factory" in Spokane. Amazingly they were very well behaved and chowed down on all the yummy pasta.

Busy Mom Finds Time to Celebrate!
This is the scene that greeted me when I arrived home from a 10 day trip on my birthday. Thoughtful Fisher stuck every hat we own in the ceiling tiles with a sign reading, "Hat's Off for Lainey's Birthday!" He also made speech bubbles for all our framed pictures with a conversation about how "young" I am getting.
This is one of the three yummy birthday treats people gave me (Not to mention the Craigo's "Cookie Monster" I had with my family in Rexburg). This delicious Russian "Bird's Milk" cake was made by my sister. Fisher also made me a lemon birthday cake and my good friend Ashleigh made me a yummy huckleberry cheesecake - oh the calories! But it is my birthday, right! And I "don't eat the WHOLE cake!"

2 1/2 Year Old Girl Uses the Potty!
That's right, yesterday was "P-day." It actually went really well...only one accident so far... Curly thinks being diaper free is great and keeps jumping and dancing all around the house enjoying her new freedom.
