Story Time

Latley, when I don't hear Lorin making all sorts of noise, I come across Lorin reading to her "guys" as she calls them. It's so cute! I found her singing from a book to her guys in her room. The video is quiet and hard to hear, but here's a picture of her reading to them!

And she likes to carry this baby (her favorite one that our friend Tara gave her) around all the time and it seems to have a different name every time we see her. "Abby" and then recently "Rosie"....

She's getting so tall, Lorin is now 3 feet and 5 inches!!

And of course...Lorin LOVES to take pictures with my camera, here is a self-portrait! (just like her daddy)

Baking Papa's Cupcake

Lorin helped me bake Papa's BIG cupcake for his birthday or as she called it, "The Mountain". We had a lot of fun mixing, stirring and prepping it for the oven. Once it came out, Lorin, The Icing Queen, was very good at topping the little cupcakes and The Mountain. She had fun as did I. Nick came home in time to help do his part, the sprinkles!

This is Lorin in action doing the icing part!

Step Stool to the Rescue

We bought Lorin a new step stool, so she can help out in the kitchen, since she loves doing the dishes and other things in the kitchen. We wanted to make her step stool special, so I though let's stencil it. Didn't realize that acrylic paint does not adhere to laminate very well.

After that was unsuccessful, we painted wood pieces and the later glued that on!

We had so much fun painting and Lorin loves it!

She then helped Daddy glue all the wood pieces on later to make her own customized Step Stool! :)

 Now she can help and do anything she wants now with her Big Girl Step Stool! Thanks Daddy! :)

Lorin in Ballet

We were able to spend the entire week with Lorin and got to see her all dressed up in her Ballet outfit before she headed out to school. We also got a few photos from her school while she was in ballet.
