Upon arrive home from our whirlwind trip to San Francisco Lauren immediately went on a hunt for her doggies. She found Deuce sleeping on the floor (where she promptly accosted him) and then crawled over to the couch to scold Vegas for sneaking up there. She's so bossy!

Last week we traveled to California to visit our friends Matt and Alana Ferring and their 9 week old ADORABLE little boy Nicholas. It was so much fun visiting all of our old favorite places; Squirrels diner, In and Out Burger, Hopyard Brewery, etc. and it was very hard to leave knowing it would be a long time before we saw them (our friends) again.

Lauren and Mommy are taking swimming lessons on Monday evenings. Prior to the day this picture was taken Lauren wasn't so sure about the whole "swimming" thing. However, once her Daddy showed up to class with a camera she was suddenly a swimming pro with tons of smiles to flash for the camera.

We have had a remarkably "dry" winter thus far. A few weeks ago we got our first dusting of snow and Lauren was able to enjoy a sleigh ride around the front yard in her new sled.
