New Friends

Today Lauren's new friend Cassandra came over to play. Cassandra is one of two children that are foster children of our friends Brian and Maggie. They live just 6 houses away and now Lauren has a new friend right around the corner! It has been a blessing to have two good friends living near us, but now it is extra special that our kids have each other close by too. We look forward to watching their friendship grow. Here are some pics from their play time today.

Kids

Lauren started 1st grade a month ago and is loving it. I help out in her class on Wednesdays when they do computers, so it gives me a chance to see her interact with all of her classmates. I have to say that she does really well paying attention and copying the words off the board, which is more than I can say for myself at that age or even in high school :) She loves to draw, play games and making up stories, usually using someone else's story and putting her own twist on it.

Back at it

Wow...it's been over a year since I last posted :) Let me let you in on a little secret...I have too many places to "post" my life! From Facebook to Covenant Chapel's Website (http://www.covenantchapel.com/) to this blog, I have not been able to keep up. And this blog is the one that suffers. I don't even know how many people actually look at this, but probably not too many since I don't say anything for over a year. My best reason for posting is this: A great way to point people to pics of the kids and their funny little stories that I would forget unless I wrote them down.

So, who knows when you will read this, but here's to hoping that it won't be a year from now!

Peace,

Steve
