Kindergarten Graduation

Lauren has now graduated from Kindergarten, she starts First Grade on August 10th and she couldn't be more excited about it. She has already decided on a backpack and lunchbox for next school year, she likes Summer but she cannot wait to go back to school already.

Field Day

Lauren's school had field day a few days ago, they had it set up like the olympics and the kids had a great day with it all.

Swinging In The Rain

Tonight we had a quick rain shower here in South Georgia but Lauren was determined to go play in it even though she already had her pajamas on so she threw her raincoat over them and headed out to play in the rain, sometimes I think we could be a little more like kids, when the mood strikes and play in the rain with no reservations :) While she was swinging she noticed we had a rainbow behind our house and thought that was the best thing ever.

Georgia Music Hall of Fame

Lauren's school had a field trip yesterday to the Music Hall of Fame, it was a cool place that was all about the music that has come from Georgia. They had a lady come and do a demonstration on African instruments and she was wonderful, I have contacted her to see if she would come to our church kids program because she was so good . Everyone had a great time. (Sorry the pictures are dark, the room was really dark and these are with flash)

Handmade Mother's Day Gifts

Lauren presented me with her gifts that she made at school for Mother's Day this year, I thought they were creative and adorable and she was so proud of them too which made them even better :)

A Bad Blogger

The first step to recovery is admission of a problem right ? well, I said it. I am a bad blogger now. I opened a home daycare on April 4Th and I now have two 17 month olds during the day and 2 more babies coming, 1 in September a newborn, and 1 in November another newborn so by the end of the year I will have 4 babies in my house all day long and Lauren will be here when she's not in school also. I honestly think this daycare has helped me with my frustrations of another adoption, I am so busy that I forget to think about the waiting and the non answered emails from DFACS.We are STILL trying to figure out what to do since our profile book and last homestudy have now expired with the attorney in SC, We just don't know which way we should go and are aging out with some countries for getting a younger child. Lauren says she no longer wants a sister or brother because of the daycare kids which is funny to me because for years she wanted a baby in the house and now that they are here all day she is not interested because they are into EVERYTHING. I will try and do better but can't promise anything :)
