Waiting on 5

As most everyone knows, our daughter Lily's birthday is on Christmas and this year she will be 5. Most people think she must get slighted in the gift department every year, this is not the case! I was talking to Lily over the weekend and asked her if she was ready for Christmas, she said, "Yes I am, but I'm really just waiting on 5!" I thought it was really cute. Her birthday party will be this weekend at The Mad Platter. I am making her birthday cake like always and this year I am tackling a princess crown. Wish me luck!

Pictures from Halloween

We had a great time on Halloween! The kids were precious and ate tons of candy. It's so funny watching Lily watch the other kids and adults, waiting to see someone scary. Her nervous laugh always gave her away. Charlie kept looking in his basket amazed that I was allowing him to carry around and eat, that much candy.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween (a little early)! The Laffin children, especially Lily, are pretty excited about the upcoming festivities. Charlie is going as a shark and Lily will be a butterfly. The weather is calling for a chance of rain, but we are hopeful it will hold off.

In other news, I leave next Wednesday for New York City. This is my 30Th birthday gift from my mom and dad. Mom and I are looking forward to the trip. I am thrilled that I will get to see my best friend Stephanie, who lives in Brooklyn. Travis will be doing double duty with the kids while I am gone. While I already miss all of them, I can't wait to go. I will posted pictures of the trip when I return as well as pictures of the kids in their costumes.

The Zoo

On Saturday, Lily, Charlie and myself met my mom and my grandparents at Riverbanks Zoo. We had a good time and the weather was great. Travis and Chancellor where camping for the night out at the hunt club. They had a lot of fun too. Please notice that Charlie has learned to say, "CHEESE!"

Happy birthay to my sweet guy. It seems like just yesterday I was bring you home from the hospital. Your daddy and I prayed for so long for you to come and join us and make our family whole. For me to explain how much I love you would be as easy as harvesting all of the stars in the night sky. You make me smile everyday and in you, I see peace, love, family, faith, and happiness. I feel blessed to be your mother, and I thank God everyday for bestowing you to us. As hard as it is to see you growing so fast, I know that you are going to do amazing things in the world and I can't wait to see what you turn out to be. I love you with all that I am!

Beach Bums!
