Lauren and our Family Vacation - Myrtle Beach, SC, June 1997!

Lauren and Meghan at the BARNEY BIG SURPRISE Show (May 3, 1997). The girls had an absolute blast! Of course they each had to have the exact same T-shirt. Lauren also got a Barney sippy cup and program.

Lauren playing on her play gym that we're borrowing from a family friend for the summer while we're living with Mom and Dad.

Lauren standing in front of Mom's white azelea bush in the front yard. Perfect picture taking spot!

Lauren and Theodore taking a rest after playing ball in the backyard at Mom and Dad's house.

Lauren 'hiding' from me behind *some* of her stuff animals on her bed! I was trying to get her dressed that morning! Little hard!

Lauren and Katie Hubbard. Katie and Lauren are actually Second Cousins. Becky, her Mommy, is my First Cousin. Becky, Barbie (Becky's sister) and I grew up together, all very close in age. They live in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and we manage to get down there about twice a year for family visits. The girls will be very close, I imagine.

Lauren and Mommy at the 2nd National Moebius Syndrome Conference in Tarrytown, NY, July 1996. We really had a great time - and what a beautiful weekend it was.
