and Lauren is 15...(WHAT???)

Seriously, how is that possible. I'm too young to be the grandmother of a 15 year old. Oh yeah, I forgot y'all know how old I'm about to be.

So it seems that our lovely Princess Lauren is 15 years old today. The day she officially became a part of our family was such a special day. Our numbers grew by leaps and bounds that day. It was a happy day for so many reasons.





Family gatherings are so much fun ... and here are 4 great kids who get along so well. Lauren is so much fun ... the cousins love hanging out with her.







Here is Lauren with her younger brother, Andrew, when the entire family went to Turner Falls. He adored her then and he adores her now.

Among Lauren's many talents, is the ability to play the flute. 
Although she isn't actively playing now, 
it is a knowledge that she will carry with her throughout her life.

Lauren has a great relationship with her Mom ... they share so many interests. 
It really does make me smile to see their closeness.

Ever the supporting cousin, Lauren took great delight in cheering Emily along at Emily's birthday dinner at Babe's. Frankly, Lauren is probably just delighted that she's not the one with the chicken on her head.

 Lauren is such a good caregiver and helper. 
Here she is playing with her little cousin, Libby, 
at the Saginaw Aquatic Center during this past summer.

 And here she is at Thanksgiving ... growing into a lovely young lady.

Happy 15th birthday, Princess Lauren.  
I love you "more than the world".
