Lots Of Visits!

We've been crazy busy the last little while with lots of visits and traveling and all kinds of stuff.  Here are some photos of Abuelito's visit from Honduras!  This first bunch is from when April took the kids to Brockville to see them.  Here he is meeting Lauren for the first time.

Playing on the floor with Lauren's giraffe friend. 

 Kisses for baby Lauren!

 Happy Lauren!

Parker playing with the Thomas trains.

Look at the camera, Lauren!  No, the other camera!

 Cheeeeese!  Lauren looks a lot like Parker in this photo.  

 Abuelito and Lauren with some snuggles.

 Lauren doing her army crawl across the floor, more than likely in an effort to steal Parker's trains.

 Parker and Grandpa having a jam session. 

 I think they were playing this but I wasn't there so I'm not 100% positive.

 Lauren looooves the rocking horse!

 Abuelito and Parker and a Cream Egg!

And Darryl, Ali, and Ella flew down for a visit!  Since Darryl can fly planes, they just hopped in one and came down!  Crazy!  Here are Parker and Ella enjoying some swings. 

 More swinging.

 Ella!

 Parker!  Looking suspicious.

 Lauren!  Looking perturbed.  

Time for lunch!

 Lauren and Ella were kind of weirded out at first, I think.

Mmmmm....  pasta.....

  Lauren exploring the living room. 

 And then Abuelito came to our house for a visit!  Hanging out with Lauren on the couch.

 Hanging out, being BFFs, the usual.

Parker hamming it up for a photo.

The mystical Lor Lors! 

  

 Parker surrounded by bubbles.

 Lauren gnawing on an apple.

 OM NOM NOM NOM!

 Abuelito!

 Lita!

 Lita and Abuelito!

 Still working on that apple.  It helps when you have teeth.

 Kisses for Grandpa!

Some Old And New Photos and Videos

Here are a bunch of old point and shoot photos and videos!  This one is from waaaay back when, instead of a nice fenced-in backyard, we lived in a post-apocalyptic wasteland with only a swing and slide to play on.

  Lauren being cute!

Parker crawling around on the floor (probably trying to show Lauren how to crawl). 

 Parker is cute!

 Lauren and Mommy are cute, too!

Parker playing with Alphie.

 

 Lauren has been kind of grumpy for the last few days because that top tooth on her left-hand side still hadn't popped out yet.  You can see it stretching the gum!  No wonder they hurt so much.  Luckily it finally came through yesterday and now she's back to normal.  Yay!

Here's an old video from maybe December 2010?  Mommy and Lauren are playing 1, 2, 3 and Parker wants to help out.

Here's Parker making some goofy faces.

Lauren being cute!  From December, 2010.  The photos I took are still some of my favourite because she looks so cute in regular clothes.

This video cracks me up.  For some reason Parker is convinced that the purple car is Lauren's favourite.  And then he decides he needs to find another purple car.  The look on Lauren's face after Parker leaves is funny.  She's like, "Huh?"

Lauren giggling to April's rendition of "Push It" by Salt N' Pepa.

Lauren's favourite toy!  Thanks, Nicole!  And then Parker swoops in out of no where to goof around.  Lauren must think Parker is gigantic because he's always right in her face!

Parker making goofy faces one night.

Lauren blowing raspberries, which is reminiscent of Parker doing the same thing way back in the day!

Lauren crawling (kind of) for the first time (kind of)!

Sometimes crawling is hard work and you need to take a little rest.

Parker riding his tricycle and saying, "I love riding my bike!"

More bike riding!

I stole these from Claire!  Thanks!  :D
