Today we celebrate another birthday in our family. My youngest daughter, Lauren, turns 25. She is 1/4 of a century old. That means I’m getting older too but I don’t think I feel it. Ok, maybe I do today since I am.still.sick! Just how long is a cold supposed to last anyway? Since I shared some fun pictures of my granddaughter when she turned 4, I’m going to share some of Lauren. Most of these are scanned photos from the past, some are current in digital form. In any case I hope you enjoy seeing a bit of my baby girl’s life.

Age 6 months 

Lauren when she was about 4 or 5.

She is 7 here, on the right. Yep, that is me, this is 1993 just before I was married to Phil.

We’ll skip past a few years and visit 6th or 7th grade.

I think I lost a few years’ worth of pictures in a computer crash but here are a few more recent pictures.

Here she is as a new mom in Aug. 2008.

Here she is with Za at Christmas 2010 and then on Jan.2,2011.

Oh yeah, this is me and Lauren holding Daniel and David who are now 7 1/2 months old.

Happy birthday Lauren. I hope you enjoyed this trip down memory lane.
