Parker And Lauren Hanging Out

I posted the photo of Parker and Lauren yukking it up for the camera earlier, but here are the rest of them playing.

Parker checking out his mailbox while Lauren checks out a truck.

Lauren has some crazy hair!  Time for another haircut, methinks.

 Lauren is getting pretty close to crawling!  She does the airplane thing that Parker used to do and can shimmy around in circles.  She just started to be able to drag her limp body across the floor, but it's still not quite a crawl because the legs aren't involved.

 Vroooooooom!

  

 "Hi Daddy!"

Making his mailbox ride the firetruck. 

Cheeeeese!

Parker looks kind of angry but he was actually happy in this photo!  He's just concentrating really hard on saying, "Cheeeeese!" and stretching Lauren's face into a smile.

Lauren Likes Corn!

Hooray for corn on the cob!

More Old Photos And A Video

It turns out that cell phones have cameras on them these days!  And on the rare occasion that the phone is actually with me instead of in the glove compartment or a drawer, I've taken a few photos along the way.  Here they are.

Stairs!

In our spare time, Parker I like to hang out in seedy parking lots and back alleys.

Playing with a bunch of stuff at Chapters.  Are you allowed to play with stuff if it's still in the box?  I say yes! 

 Parker and I had been drinking that morning.
