Wednesday, November 28, 2012. More Life Lessons from Lauren. We are getting a dishwasher (our excitement of the year.other than the birth of Miles of course)! We were telling Lauren and she said, "But we do have a dishwasher, it is called the sink! Lauren's breakfast prayer this morning that she has named "God's Blessings". God's Blessings, God's Blessing, God's Blessing. Help us God to not be scared, to not say mean things, and not to pass our germs to other people. Amen. Labels: Laurens Funny Pages.

Life Outside the Windy City: Lauren Lately...

http://kjrouse.blogspot.com/2012/11/lauren-lately.html

Thursday, November 1, 2012. It is has been too long since I've written some of these down. I hope I can remember them all. So we split up on the hunt for her. I was yelling, "Lauren" and Kyle was listening. He said he was just going to wait until she started crying to find her, unfortunately, I think that would have been several hours later! You can't leave Mom and Dad! To which she replies, "But I took of my shoes before getting in bed, see? We burst out laughing and I explained that we don't eat in bed...

Life Outside the Windy City: April 2012

http://kjrouse.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Sunday, April 29, 2012. Weekend Getaway in Wisconsin. We enjoyed a fabulous weekend in Wisconsin! It was so nice to get away from everything for a bit and relax without worrying about what needs to get done at home and other distractions. We stayed at George Williams College in Willams Bay where Kyle has been attending grad school in a lakefront cottage (no TV, no internet, and barely a shower).it was great! We had a blast shopping, hanging out, and chatting about the lack of hot water. We went Mini Golf...

http://kjrouse.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html

Saturday, July 28, 2012. We went to the SciTech museum last Monday to get out of the house and stay out of the heat.plus we had free tickets! Lauren really enjoyed running around and playing with all the cool gadgets (as did her father). This was the kids area (6 and under) that we spent a good chunk of time in. Digging for bones with Dad. Kyle thinks I have mad skills for capturing this photo! Pulling up the rope to get a bubble around her. She wanted in on the action as well. Ohyou want me to be happy?

Life Outside the Windy City: March 2012

http://kjrouse.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

Saturday, March 24, 2012. 23 week appt. and backyard adventures. Our yard is much bigger this summer with all the overgrown shrubs gone and fence in place. We still have a lot of grass to grow and volunteer plants to remove but things are looking much better and less muddy! Kyle set up his hammock for a bit for us to enjoy. It is very enjoyable but difficult to get out of pregnant :). She could swing and relax in here for hours. There's a little head in there! Mommy and Lauren in the hammock together!

Life Outside the Windy City: Starved Rock

http://kjrouse.blogspot.com/2012/11/starved-rock.html

Saturday, November 17, 2012. While the weather was still AWESOME, we went hiking a lot. I carried Miles in the wrap and the pack on my back and Kyle carried Lauren on his back in the Ergo. I think I probably carried 50 lbs. this day, practicing for our trip to the Appalachian Trail :). Both sleeping while we were gazing at one of the canyons. One of the canyons, usually water is running down them. Our hiking buddies (Chris, Audrey, Erin, Me, Miles, Kyle, and Awake Lauren.and Denali). In reverence of Grace.

We had our 37 week appointment last Friday, I now go in on a weekly basis. I didn't make it to weekly appointments with Lauren.

http://kjrouse.blogspot.com/2012/10/14-weeks-and-lauren-lately.html

Tuesday, October 30, 2012. 14 Weeks and Lauren Lately. I'm back at work now.it sucks! Not many other words that can describe it other than that. Wish I didn't have to but it isn't an option right now. Before going back, we had some fun around the house. Lauren enjoyed playing in the sink. She could literally play for HOURS in the water with dishes and a rag. Look at how soaked she is :). Miles is still in the "plant" stage (aka, you leave him in one spot and he isn't going anywhere). I am a Christian, Wi...
