Allred Kids

My sister, Claire, and her two kids, Lincoln and Ella came to stay with us for a few days after Lauren was born. My mom and sister, Julie, came as well. It was so much fun to have them all around- I miss them already! Ella, Kate, and Taylor had a ton of fun playing- their favorite thing to do was wear their tutus all around the house at all times...so cute. I wish we could have gotten a picture of that.

We didn't do much while they were here because I was still recovering and well, I admit, there just isn't much to do in Dallas. So, the usual occurred...shopping and eating out....my two favorite things! :) Mostly, I enjoyed just sitting around, relaxing, and chatting with family that I don't get to see often enough. The only downside was that they didn't stay long enough! They drove (yes, DROVE the 13+ hours from Atlanta) all the way here and I know it was a big sacrifice, so thanks a ton and I hope its not too long before it happens again!

These are precious, but my fav is DEFINITELY Ella looking into the distance with her little boots. Oh my gosh. So cute. I'm sure she had so much fun with your girls.

I love that Ella looks like she's about to CHOKE Lincoln as she's kissing him. Is this a love-hate relationship? Very cute pictures!

How much would it cost to order all of then in 8x10? We NEVER get their pics taken. I figure I maybe should order all of them. If it's too much , then I 'll pick two to get an 8x10 and then the rest i'll get 5x6 or something.

Claire-I'll send you an email about how much it would cost--should be cheap. Are you still think about canvas--I can price that as well.

Send me an email and let me know what you'd like--brian_crofts@intuit.com

Great! I bet she changed a lot in the last couple weeks... that's what babies do best at this stage.

My girls and I promise to wait in front of the computer screen to Uhhs! and Ahhs! your little Lauren.
