Lauren Elizabeth Mazgelis

Introducing the latest addition to our family. Lauren ignores the AAP Back to Sleep recommendation and sleeps just like her mother, face down, arms tucked, legs crossed.

My how things change

It's been a while since I've posted here, and a lot has changed since then. We've packed up and move from California to Massachusetts to be closer to our families. We bought a house. We had a second baby. Yes, it's been busy times.

Taking photos

Max has obviously been watching me take photos, because he knows exactly how to take pictures with my little camera. We're very impressed with the pictures he takes. Many of them are of the floor or the ceiling, but now and again he's spot-on shooting.

Sand box

It's not quite a day at the beach, but Max has his sun shade and a sand shovel nonetheless.

Playing in the Park

Spring time in Sunol, out playing ball with the dogs.

Living the Luau

We all took a trip to Hawaii recently. We stayed up near Hanalei, on the north shore of the island of Kaua'i. We did a lot of things while we were there, but this particular photo is from a luau we went to in Princeville.

Lazy Sunday

I set up the hammock in the back yard today and Max just couldn't wait to play in it! We climbed in and had a great time just listening to birds and the breeze as airplanes passed lazily overhead.

Peek a Boo

We were playing peek-a-boo through the windows of Max's little play house. I think he was about to tumble through the window here, a result of having just a little more boo than peek.

Breakfast by the lake

We had a great time camping in Gilroy this past weekend. One morning Max took Dad's coffee and asked to sit in the swing-chair. I'm sure the warm mug felt good after the cold night in the tent.

Pondering a career in music

Wearing his father's glasses, Max contemplates his musical experience with the keyboard.
