Fall is finally here and Lauren was so excited to finally break out her school cardigan that I had to catch the morning on film. Braids have also been a big request from her, so I have been trying my hand at braiding for the first time. This day I had braved the double braid. It is just more and more fun everyday being Lauren's mommy. I keep telling myself I really need to make more time to catch these precious days on my blog. So, While daddy and Lauren take a nap, I am finally getting a post in!
Lauren is doing well in preschool after a few bumpy first weeks. Her second day of school she cried and screamed with her arms outstretched to me when I left. I bawled all the way to work and prayed all day as to whether I was doing the right thing or not. Each day got a little better from there and now she happily walks into class and has lots of fun making new friends and learning new things. Parenting is an amazing fine balance of so many decisions. I'm so thankful for my relationship with God. I cannot imagine trying to do this without His guidance.
I hope you all are having a wonderful Fall season! It is just beautiful here in Arizona and we are looking forward to many walks and lots of time outside! Lauren plans to be "Snow White" for halloween.
To all my bloggy friends, I wanted to let you know how much you still mean to me.Although we may not post as much as we used to, it's funny, if I've had a stressful day, I find myself going to all your blogs to see any updates and I realize that this has become a coping skill of mine that I must have picked up after all those years of waiting together. You are my comfort zone. :)
