Lauren won the yearbook cover contest for the whole school this year. It was the 3rd year in a row that she had won for her class. Every year she would complain and say that she wanted to win the front cover. I tried to tell her that it was really cool that she won for her class because a lot of kids never even win that. (You know how parents have to prep their kids just in case they never do win.) A week before school got out Lauren was sent to the office because she wouldn't participate in gym. Anyway, that's another story....after the whole ordeal was over we were the only 2 left in the conference room. She told me she had seen the stacks of yearbooks with class lists on top of them. She noticed the border through the paper, thought that it looked like hers, lifted the paper up, and saw that it was her cover. She was so excited. I was too...even after the conference with her teacher & the vice principal. Oh, my dear Lauren. I love her so much. Sometimes I think that she will be the death of me, but I was so proud of her. She has so many talents and can be very loving, sweet, funny, playful, and tender hearted. I wish that some of the people at school could see that side of her. Needless to say it was a day of mixed emotions. :) 
The rest of these are from today. His shirt is so fitting. Brook's mom gave him this outfit. He was able to wear it today because it's been a little cooler than normal.
