So pretty much this blog is going to be mostly about Lauren, because... well let's face it, she is just way more interesting than Brad and I. However, a little news about Lauren's parents first. Brad preached last Sunday night. It was nice to hear him, and he did a great job. Today is our 8th anniversary! Eight years ago the weather was much nicer than it was today. Kind of hard to believe we've been married for eight years already. *Thanks Brad for another wonderful year together. I look forward to many more with you.*
Ok, now some Lauren news. She has still been so into dancing. I went searching in my old bedroom and found a couple pieces to some old dance outfits. She is so entertaining :) Hopefully one of these days I will get a video of her dance moves. Oh, and Lauren is starting to like coloring! Her Sunday School and church teachers will understand the how this is good news. We'll just say that Lauren did not like to color at all, so I would pick her up from class and she would hand me the prettiest colored pictures (colored by her teachers).
Lauren has a chore chart now that she gets to put stickers on when she does something. Last week, her new chores were dusting and washing dishes. (we do not have a dishwasher, so I've been teaching her how.) She has done really great and seems to like helping out. Another thing she gets a sticker for is for being polite and minding her manners. One night when we were doing her stickers I asked if she had been polite that day. I think she had some trouble with her attitude that day, so when we got to that "be polite" I let her choose if she got a sticker or not, and she said she didn't think she should get a sticker for that. I was very proud of her for being honest.
Here's a couple pictures of Lauren posing and one of Brad earlier today out in our snowstorm here in northern MO.
