Our Family

Why I Blog

I decided to start a blog not only so others can read about what's been going on with the Lawrence family, but also to help me remember these wonderful years while my son is still so young.
It feels like just a little while ago I told my husband that I was pregnant. We spent that evening curled up on the couch dreaming and talking about what it would be like to be parents. The joy and excitement was almost unbearable. Now, 18 months later, I look back and remember the way that felt. I thought it would be wonderful, but I had no idea just how awesome it would be!
I want to write about this awesome experience of motherhood and the joys of building a family! I know there is no way to truly express the joy I feel or the love that I have for my son and his wonderful father...but I'll do my best. :)

Eating Flowers is a No No!




What wonderful weather we are having here!!! I just love the spring when all the flowers are in bloom and the grass is green. I love the evening storms and the sunsets that go with it. With this awesome weather we decided to get Rogan out there and have him try out the grass. He didn't like it too much. I don't think that he understands that he can crawl and move around on the grass. He just sat there and with this funny little look on his face. When I put him in the crawling position he just stayed in one spot and cried. He looked at me like I had just done something horrible to him. What a silly. After making him suffer through sitting in the grass for awhile we showed him some of the new flowers. before I could do anything...in the mouth it went. I guess he liked the way that it tasted cause when I tried to get it out of his mouth he got mad at me and stuck the flower right back in his mouth. Too funny!
I'm hoping to spend a lot of time with Rogan outside this year. Jesse and I are planning on having a garden in the field by the house that we are building. I've always loved gardening, but this will be the first time that I'll have a garden of my own! I want Rogan to help me water the plants and play in the dirt...won't that be just great!!! I want for him to have a love for this awesome earth that the Lord gave us and for the plants that are actually edible. :)
I would love to write more...but I don't gots the time.
Happy Spring to all!!!

  1. Those are so cute. He'll have a great time in the yard when he gets used to it. It's such a blessing to be out where he can have a place to enjoy God's big outdoors.

  2. Grass always seems to take some getting used to, but at least he enjoys nature in the flowers :)
