Maddie went trick or treating for the first time this year. She had a great time! She said "trick or treat" "Happy Halloween" and "thank you" to everyone. She was Minnie Mouse this year since she LOVES Minnie Mouse. Lauren is too small for a costume, even the ones made for infants, so she just had to settle for a onesie and pants.

Welcome Home!
Home from the hospital. Doug and Maddie were glad to see Kris and Lauren come home. The Hospital kicked Maddie out one day because of the new visitor policy. No visitors under 18 because of the swine flu. Some nurses actually showed a human heart and let Maddie in the first day. Maddie missed her Mommy and she loves her baby sister. Welcome Home!

Lauren Abigail Smith!!!!
Saturday turned out to be a very interesting day. When we woke up that morning, we did not think that we would have another child by the time we went to bed that night. But WE DID! Kris was scheduled for a C-section on Oct 28, but Lauren wanted to come out early. Kris had been having contractions all day. She thought she might be going into labor. Her water broke around 3:00. We called the doctor and he said to go to the hospital and they would take a look. Lauren Abigail Smith was born on October 17 and weighed 6 lbs 13 oz and was 18 inches long. Both mom and baby are doing great.
Lauren and Kris bonding for the first time.
