A Meeting with the Princesses

After our Tinker Bell experience, we stayed to play at the park. Since she did so good with the fairy characters we asked her if she'd like to meet the princesses. There were virtually no lines anywhere so today was a great day to give it a try. We know she loves them from afar, but she's been scared of characters up close. To our surprise, she loved it! Each princess came up and held her hand. They talked to her about her hair, mentioned things relating to their movies, and overall made her feel so special.Lauren talking with Sleeping Beauty. (Well...Lauren was a bit mute, but Sleeping Beauty talked about how Lauren looks like her friend Belle.)

I just think everyone is adorable.

Tinker Bell Premier

Today we were lucky enough to see the premier of the new 'Tinker Bell' movie, at the Magic Kingdom. The movie was very cute! I highly recommend seeing it when it comes out on DVD.

After the movie, we were able to take a picture with the Fairies from Pixie Hollow. Lauren was so overwhelmed she just wouldn't speak. They took two special close ups of just Lauren and Tinker Bell and asked me to sign a wavier for them to use the picture in their upcoming Tinker Bell promotions. We met the producer, screenwriter, and director for the film. They gave us autographs, commemorative cups, and Lauren loved the light-up Tink pin. We can't wait until they open up the new Pixie Hollow experience! http://www.orlandosentinel.com/travel/attractions/orl-disney2508sep25,0,1385740.story

Playing School

I HAD to take pictures of this! I walked out into the living room and saw and overheard Lauren playing school. She had pretend students and she was passing out papers to them giving them directions. She even walked over to one pretend student and said, "You're scribbling. Let me help you."
Like mother, like daughter ?

Got Cravings?

Nope.

It's not Mommy with the cravings.

It's Lauren! Lauren insisted that she wanted apples at the grocery store ~better than insisting on junk!

So that night she ate an apple before bed. Mmm...

Let's Go Fly a Kite

The fall weather is in the air! Daddy took Lauren outside to fly her kite. It was pretty funny to see Daddy with the Barbie kite. I should have taken a picture of him!

New Room

Mommy and Daddy, FINALLY got new bedroom furniture. Whoo Hoo! Lauren loves it and wants new furniture for her too. She thinks she is just so funny cuddling in our bed. It's cute, but not funny......get in your own bed. In an effort to get ready for baby Kendall, we have cleared space in my closet (which is super large) and started making space for Kendall's things. To get Lauren involved we let her help repaint the closet wall. She loved being a helper!

UCF Heartbreaker!

It was a beautiful day for the game. Grills were up in flames, spirit was high, and drops of sweat rolled down every one's backs during tailgating time.

The Knights (1-1) fell 31-24 in overtime to No. 17 USF before a record crowd of 46,805 at Bright House Networks Stadium Saturday night.

It was a thrilling game with a heart pounding ending! http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/college/knights/orl-ucf0708sep07,0,260106.story

UCF comeback in the 4th! Kendall made her second appearance as a 'Future UCF Knight.' See my shirt.
Hanging out at our seats.

23 Weeks Baby Pics

Today we had our last ultrasound. We officially graduated from monitor status.

Mommy and Baby had perfect results. I think Kendall will be into gymnastics. She is breach at the moment (plenty of time to turn around) and enjoys resting her feet (yes, her feet) on her head.

Take a look below. She is laying on her back with her legs all the way up and her feet near her head. Can you do that pose?

They gave me lots of 4-D pics. I have to admit they are so clear, it is a bit weird. You can actually see all of the fluid and slimy stuff covering the baby.

After viewing many pictures, we think she will look just like Lauren!

We can't wait to meet her!

Labor Day Weekend

This weekend we traveled to Jacksonville for my cousin's Baby Shower. Lauren was really good in the car. She wore her headphones and watched her new movie. We had to a stop a couple of times for potty breaks, especially on the way home. One time we stopped and as soon as I got her in the bathroom she looked at me and said, "I'm fine."

Lauren loved the Baby Shower and didn't want to leave!
