| I have come to realize that Lauren loves to do just what mom or dad are doing. This is apparent when people call and I look over and Lauren is using what ever she has at the time to "talk on the phone" as well. This time it was a weather radio. I was impressed that she even took the time to pull out the antenna to get better reception. Of course if you actually give her a phone when some one is on the other line she is quite as can be. |

Lauren is all about things her size. Give her a burrito made with a 8' tortilla and she just looks at it, however I made her one that was about 3' in size and she ate the whole thing. Zeke's Mom gave her a set of chairs and a table that are her size and she insist on carrying them all over the house so she can sit in them. She is even nice enough to drag a teddy bear along to have an occupant for the second chair. |
| Once again I tried my hand at making cloths for Lauren and this shirt turned out pretty good I think. Of course it has Ladybugs on it but as this next child is a boy I have to get it out of my system while I can. |

I took Lauren to the Aquarium and we had a really good time. The down side was that it is dark inside and this is the only "good" picture I came home with. Sad but there it is. |
| For those of you who are always looking for a cleaning product that is great at cleaning but not strong smelling might I suggest 35% hydrogen peroxide. This is a picture of my oven before I sprayed it with 1 part H2O2 and 11 parts O2. |

This is my oven 10 minutes later and all I did was wipe out the H2O2. Pretty impressive huh? Well I was impressed anyway. I will give you a warning that if the Hydrogen peroxide gets on your skin it will burn it. I did not get a picture in time to show you the burn I gave my self on my arm, but take my word for it. |
| Cat's are odd creatures our cat usually wants to be petted when it is most inconvenient for you. I was taking a break lounging on the bed. I told Zeke that I was going to get up and we could go so naturally the cat jumps up and makes her self comfortable. She also thinks that at 5:00am we should get up and play with her. I do get some revenge however now that Lauren is mobile because it is the first thing Lauren thinks about in the morning after getting her shoes on is the location of the cat. Once the cat has been found Lauren then proceeds to mall and to carry the cat around the house. My cat weights more then Lauren so the caring part usually does not go over well but Lauren tries just the same. |

Fall weather finally arrived so this last weekend we decided to tackle the next room on the list which was the hall way. As you may remember we started removing the wall paper weeks ago so this weekend we mudded and began sanding. This house was well loved and as a result we ended up mudding the entire wall instead of just patching the holes as planned. WHAT A MESS! The dust from sanding gets everywhere We taped plastic up over the door ways but still the entire house is covered with a fine layer of sand. Lauren as always was right there willing to help. Or as this picture shows be a source of entertainment. |
| It was amazing with Lauren to help we still did not finish the hall but it is closer then it was. Usually when a project is done at my house it is a toss up between Zeke and Lauren who will get the dirtiest. However this weekend I won hands down. I got mud all down the front of me, but Lauren got into her fair share as well. |

| Hope this letter finds you all doing well. And as a side note to the Ramsey's and Hatch's in AR if you really wanted to go to the dentist office you did not have to push your kids down to do so. The Dentist recommends that you go twice a year that should be plenty of visits for you. However I did appreciate the Dental trauma as I was beginning to go through withdrawal from not working so thank you. |
