Ten days, ladies and gentleman, ten days. My personality-full, animated, much-to-say, get-in-your-biznazz, beautiful, hungry, raucous, funny family is moving back to Maryland! Can you believe it's already been two years since they left?

In honor of their big move, I decided to share some of my favorite quotes from the littlest member of our bunch, Lauren. Life without "this" stinks ;) (I've posted all of these on my twitter with the hashtag "#quotesfromLauren.")
Without further ado, enjoy these brilliant one-liners from an eight-year-old comedic genuis:

- I love cheese. It goes with my brand. (I did not know she had a brand.)
- I told Grandma to "Shake it, boo!" and she did. But her cheek skin that hangs down was jiggling.
- I like "e" names: Ella, Emma, Emily, Oscar.

- Ear wax looks like caramel dip.
- After not being able to do one push-up: "I'm better at sit-ups. I can do five."

This is probably the worst family photo of all time. Most of us either look fat or grumpy. But I love it. Because no one is fat or grumpy. But I remember someone was making fun of Kevin and dad was quoting Everybody Loves Raymond and mom was telling everyone to smile and some of us are in our pajamas and this was Christmas morning (remember when we used to wear matching plaid with bows in our hairs?). Hurry home, kids. It's time to be back together. With a new older brother ;)
