Lauren is 21!



It was a similar day then as it is now, muggy and stormy outside, and I remember looking at Lauren when they brought her to me that first night in the hospital, with a thunder storm in the distance, and lightning flashing in the sky, and thinking that this is what I always saw myself being, a mom, and how excited I was to begin this journey. Haven't done it perfect, but so glad I did! I can't believe our adorable 9 lb., 1 oz. , red hair girl is 21! Lauren has always been so smart, hard working, hair coloring- many colors, even purple-lover of the underdog, funny, strong- willed, best big sister ever, and aside from a few times, a joy to have around. I have always told her to use her powers for good and she is really doing that. I am proud of my cute girl, and am so thankful for her.
