Lauren got to give her first talk in Primary. She was very excited about the prospect of giving a talk, but less enthused when it was time came to deliver. She got a bit of stage fright, but was able to pull it off with a little help from her dad.

Monday was Lauren's first day of preschool. She is attending the same preschool that Will did the last two years, though with a different teacher. The class seems to be a great fit for her. There are eight kids in her class, four girls and four boys. Her teacher and the two aides in her classroom are really nice and I'm looking forward to what the upcoming year has to offer Lauren.

Tuesday marks two weeks of Elliott! The adjustment to having him in our family has been the "easiest" transition yet. He's a pretty content baby and is a universal family favorite. His only real flaw is that he doesn't sleep through the night, but given his age we'll give him a pass on that for now.

Nana came to town (arriving Monday night) to meet Elliott and help us transition to life as a family of five (maybe that's why this transition has been the easiest...). Wednesday afternoon we went to Deanna Rose and had a great time riding ponies, feeding the goats, playing on the playground and eating ice cream. We haven't been to the farmstead nearly as much this summer as we have previous years because long walks in the heat didn't really appeal to me while pregnant, so the kids were very excited to share some of our favorite farm activities with Nana.

We spent a fabulous afternoon at the zoo on Thursday. I want to thank everyone that has dissed and put down the KC Zoo over that past 5 years for setting my expectations nice and low, because I was shocked at how much fun we had. The weather was beautiful and it wasn't very crowded so it was a perfect setting for our family's first zoo trip.

Friday night we went to Franklin Park after dinner to burn some energy. While we were there we saw advertisements for a KU kickoff party at Corinth Square, just around the corner. The free kids activities tempted us so we stopped by. The kids each got some noisemaker swag and ran through some inflatables.

Another Elliott milestone: 10 days old!

Elliott is so cute! Camille was definitely my easiest transition and easiest baby so hopefully that's true for your third as well. Glad you have had fun with Nana!
Gorgeous weather and not crowded are the keys to enjoying most public places I imagine.
You've gotten out a lot for having just had a baby. I'm impressed. I'm usually still fairly zombified at this stage. Go Carrie!
I love pictures of little adorable Elliott. What a champ. Both of you actually, ditto what Holly said, you get out a lot! I am happy for you. I hate that haze of no sleep combined with the cooped up feeling because you are barely functioning right after a baby is born.
