Fishing for Nemo!

On May 18th Lauren brought her new fishing pole to Grandma & Grandpa's house to try her luck at fishing in their lake. The first time she cast her line she caught this beautiful little yellow fish that we named Nemo! There was one thing that Lauren didn't realize, the same yellow fish was on her line every time she reeled it in. We had a lot of fun that day, even Grace tried to eat the fish. The next weekend we took Lauren down to the lake house and of course the first thing she wanted to take with her was the fishing pole. After everything was unpacked she and Grandpa went down on the dock so Lauren could try her luck at fishing in the big lake. To her surprise, the same yellow fish was on her line!

Summer time!

I am so glad summer is finally here! Lauren and I have been spending most of our evenings at the pool in our neighborhood. They have a great kiddy pool that Lauren has made numerous friends at. She is still a little unsure about the water and sticks to the side but I've noticed her really warming up to it the last couple of times.

This coming week will be Lauren's last week at Annie and Kenny's house. I'm really sad she will be leaving them but I know she will have a wonderful time at her new day school. She is ready to learn and play with kids her own age. In fact, Lauren has learned to spell her name. It is very cute, she has such southern draw...that must be from Chad's side. We are working on spelling Martin and learning her street name. I have a baby Einstein I tell you.
