Hello one and all!  I'm deeply sorry for how long it's taken me to get you another update.  Lauren had a great 5 month birthday and received many well wishes.  I assure you, there were hugs and kisses from people that took me a while to give them all!

Lauren's weight is around 12 lbs 1 oz, and getting bigger!  I've tried to capture her gorgeous smile for all to see, but she doesn't hold them long enough.  They're frequent, but my finger isn't fast enough on the shutter button.  I will keep trying.

And we have yet another addition to the family!  Rita's cousin Suzanne gave birth to her first child, Brennan, yesterday!  Suzanne and Ryan, we're thrilled to hear the birth of your little boy went so well, and we wish for you the thing that all new parents want...sleep in the near future.  :-)

I have posted some new pics of Lauren in the photo section from when Uncle Tom and Aunt Christina came for a visit on Superbowl Sunday, as well as from when Lauren received her new bed, built by Grandpa Dave on Monday.  There are also pictures of Lauren's meeting with her psyiotherapist just earlier today.  There's 20 some odd new pics, so check them out.

I'm heading off to work.  May God bless all of you, and thank you for all your support, love, thoughts and prayers.
