Boy or Girl??!!

I had my 2nd Sonogram Tuesday afternoon with Dr. Gore. It was one of those genetic testing appointments, so of course it was a little worrisome. He had great news to share...there was no thickening of the neck, Thank God.
I was also very excited to see the latest baby picture. Last time I had a sonogram the baby was a small peanut. This time around it definitely looked more like a little human. So Cute!!
My honey wasn't able to go with me because of some work training...I was really sad!

The fun part about this appointment is that they were able to tell the gender of the baby. They say it's not 100%, but this Dr is really good and he's usually pretty on target with his guesses.

As I mentioned before, Kevin couldn't go with me. So I had the Dr. write down the gender in a card and seal it up. Lots and lots ...and lots of stick-em so there was no way for me to sneak a peek. I kept thinking to myself, "It's okay, I waited 9 months to find out with Lauren, I can wait at least one day to open the envelope." We wanted it to be a special moment, so we decided that we would go to dinner and open the card as a family. It was the longest 24 hours of my life. I couldn't sleep at all - wondering, tossing, turning, thinking - "Am I going to have a little baby boy or another precious, sweet girl?"
So tonight was the night....we found out what Baby #2 is.......
You wanna guess?......if you guessed Boy, YOU ARE CORRECT!! We are so super excited. Kevin is so ready to start buying 49er gear for his little Boy and I'm excited to have the "Mama's Boy" experience. I've heard it's a real special bond.

I am still freaking out!! Gotta run, I have some Blue things to buy!!

Visit with Santa Claus

Mommy and Daddy took me to see Santa Claus tonight. He visits the mall around this time of year to ask kids what they want for Christmas. Sometimes the kids smile and take forever giving him their list. Sometimes the kids cry and cry and cry! We waited a little over an hour and to my parent's surprise I was in a pretty good mood considering the waiting time. I was busy smiling at people walking by, playing with my Daddy, and eating my dinner!

They tell me that I did really good last year... I told Santa everything I wanted for Christmas, smiled for the camera and Viola...I was all done!

This year was a slightly different story, I actually knew my parents handed me off to this white bearded stranger....Wuahh!! They were waving at me from afar "trying" to get me to smile - Not Happening!!
Hope you enjoy the snap shot of my visit with Santa this year. Merry Christmas!!

Love,
Lauren Kate

Primacy Christmas Party 2007

Just went to the Primacy Employee Appreciation Dinner at the Tribute Golf Course in The Colony. Notice I said Employee Appreciation Dinner, except it was actually our Christmas Party. I think it is so silly that we have to change the name so that we don't offend anyone, however, there was a Primacy Hired photographer taking pictures of everyone in front of the big huge CHRISTMAS TREE IN THE LOBBY!!! Oh well, I'll stop griping...but it really upsets me how PC everything has to be now. Ugh! We had a good time - there was good music, good dancin'. Actually, I didn't dance, but my man did....with another woman. Yep, one of my colleagues had one too many cocktails and pulled him out of the crowd for a little dancey-dance!! He looked so cute...totally blushing....and Yes, he can blush..GEEZ! :)

(can you say...Prom Picture...Cheesy!)

Exciting Baby News!!

We are thrilled to announce the Exciting News.....WE ARE PREGNANT!! We found out on November 28th that we are expecting a little bundle of joy next summer. The timing of the special news is quite neat, because we found out 2 years ago on November 29 that we were expecting our first baby. Which means baby #2 baby will be born exactly 2 years after Little Lauren's Birth-day! (Did I totally confuse you?!)
July is surely to be super, super busy for us now!! I have my first sonogram next week and will update you more then.

Here is a cutey picture of Lauren telling the Grandparents!!

Chaucers Sushi Night!

Me and the girls at Chaucers Sushi in Addison. Well Kevin was actually with us, but he was 'one of the girls' that night. And we had him taking our pictures...HA!
We were celebrating Madai's 25th birthday. They actually celebrated the whole month of November (it seemed), but I was able to join in for at least one night of fun!!

Halloween 2007

This year we had many Halloween Festivities....started on the 20th at the Rosses Party. Then, we hung out at Tony and Daniels for a little after party. Following that weekend, we had our Annual Kman Fright Night Theatre, then Lauren's Fall Festival at School, and last, but not least the Donato's Halloween Party on the 31st.
October was a busy month, now that I look back! Pheew...now onto the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays..Yay!

I have to share one memorable cute moment...Lauren made the moves on little Colby Tucker. Yep, you heard me right...she gave her friend a little smoochie, smoochie at the Donatos on the 31st. It was too cute!! Unfortunately, the camera wasn't ready for the big moment, but I have it documented so we can look back on this date and remember! HA!

Baby Girl is no longer a baby!

Sassy in her pearls......




Big Smiles for the camera.....
