Dave went to Lauren’s kindergarten parent/teacher conference on Thursday with Mrs. A. The report was good. Lauren is doing well in school. Actually, she loves school. She hops, skips and jumps to the bus each morning. Mrs. A commented on Lauren’s excellent rule following behavior. She is definitely our “rule girl”! (Yes, she is a mini-me.)
Dave specifically asked if Mrs. A has noticed any behavioral changes in Lauren considering all that has been going on. No, Lauren doesn’t seem phased. Kids are so much more adaptable than adults!
Here is our sweet kindergartner. She was so excited to dress up for picture day. Black velvet dress, braids and a big yellow sunflower!

Here is a note from Lauren to her friend Annie:
Dear Annie,
I was so excited that I got something in the mail. Thanks for the animal shaped rubber bands!
Love, Lauren
Thanks to Claudia and Eric for the goulash and green beans! I had some for lunch today and it was wonderful!
Oh my gosh, what a beautiful picture of a radiantly beautiful little girl! She makes my heart leap…. Praise God!
Lauren’s picture is gorgeous!!!
You are a Beautiful Little Lady, Ms. Lauren! I’m sure your teacher is very happy to have such a Wonderful Student in her class! Hope you’re having fun taking care of Mommy and baby Hope! Give Carmen a sweet, “warm” kiss for me!!
