Ventura Familia

I can not believe Lauren is 2!! These past 2 years have seriously flown by!!! At this time, 2 years ago, Victor and I had only been parents for 5 hours. We had just moved from recovery and were getting settled into our hospital room. I can still remember all the feelings (even though I was on crazy amounts of morphine!) Happiness, relief that Lauren was healthy, awe, excitement, gratefulness, but most of all love. So much love, just overwhelming love, both for Lauren and for Victor. And to this day I still feel all those things. Lauren makes me smile every single day. She makes me realize what life is all about. Yes, some days are tough, some are really tough, but even on those days, I am forever grateful that I was blessed with this beautiful little girl. Lauren is my sunshine. I love her more than she will ever know. Well maybe 1 day she’ll know….on the day she becomes a Mother.

Ok, enough with all that sappy stuff Here are some pictures from her birthday! Unfortunately, my camera battery died 1/2 way through the party so I didn’t get nearly as many pictures as I wanted to. I’m so mad I didn’t check it before we left the house! But she had a blast at her party and got some really cool presents!!
