Allen Adventures: September 2011
http://laurenandtodd.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 19, 2011. Nantucket, part 3. Our last day in Nantucket was a rainy one. Boo. But thankfully, the on and off drizzle didn't stop us from getting out of the house and wrapping up a wonderful vacation. Since we knew we wanted to stay inside while the storm was passing, we went to The Whaling Museum. We were such nerds and sat through several presentations, that were actually pretty interesting! Only mom was brave enough to go and shake his hand and she said he was super nice! And then we f...

Allen Adventures: Catch Up Post #3 (Spring!)
http://laurenandtodd.blogspot.com/2012/04/catch-up-post-3-spring.html
Thursday, April 26, 2012. Catch Up Post #3 (Spring! I did a terrible job of documenting the biggest thing we did this year: sell our house, move into an apartment by Baylor, and start the process of building a new home right across the street from some of our best friends! This seriously is such a dream come true- and a gift from God that I will be praising Him for forever! So between all of the packing, unpacking, and settling in, I completely forgot about documenting anything! So Go, Todd, Go! We celeb...

Allen Adventures: November 2011
http://laurenandtodd.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 30, 2011. Well, now that Coop is the big 13 months old (yesterday! It's probably time that I put some pictures up from his birthday! Warning: this is about to be picture overload! His birthday really was a perfect day and we really enjoyed celebrating our BIG ONE YEAR OLD! We started the morning off with a few presents from Lolly, Pop, Aunt Meg, Mommy and Daddy. He was obsessed with this little book with the bug eyes and toted it around all morning! Grandpa Mark and Aunt Meg joined us!

Allen Adventures: Catch Up Post #2 (Christmas)
http://laurenandtodd.blogspot.com/2012/04/catch-up-post-2-christmas.html
Tuesday, April 24, 2012. Catch Up Post #2 (Christmas). We had a great Christmas this year, and thoroughly tried to really savor our last Christmas in our house on La Porte. I remember our holiday "decorating" last year for Christmas pretty much consisted of me sitting in a chair and watching Todd dress up the Christmas tree while I fed our then 4 week old Cooper. I can't believe how much can change in a year! Little man was a HUGE help this year! I love this picture of my boy! Of course) Ellie wanted to ...

Allen Adventures: Bluebonnets
http://laurenandtodd.blogspot.com/2012/05/bluebonnets.html
Tuesday, May 1, 2012. Springtime in Texas is glorious! A few weeks ago, I set out to take a few pictures of Cooper in the bluebonnets. Like most things, he was a little timid at first. I guess it IS kind of weird when Mom plops you down in a field of flowers. But it wasn't too long before our little wild at heart boy came alive just being outside! I ADORE this picture of my boy! I love his wild hair and that sweet expression on his face! This is his face when we ask him to "Tebow." Love that.

Allen Adventures: January 2011
http://laurenandtodd.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 29, 2011. So here we go. Over the past few years, I have really enjoyed reading other people's blogs, so I figured why not start up one of my own! Seems like a great way to keep up with friends and family that are near and far, right? I kind of hope that this blog can help me to document the different adventures that our little family is up to- and now and then post yummy recipes, pretty decorating pictures, or little musings from my heart. We'll see how this goes!

Allen Adventures: May 2011
http://laurenandtodd.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 26, 2011. Stay, Little One, stay. I read this passage yesterday in Ann Voskamp's One Thousand Gifts. And I can't stop thinking about it. Why do we all have to grow old? Why do we have to keep saying good-bye? Anticipate and embrace all that he will do and become in his lifetime, I just treasure him this way. My precious baby boy. Cooper is dealing with his 17th day of illness- a cold that turned into an ear infection and bronchiolitis (with two teeth coming in, to boot! During ATS, we watch...
