Lauren has been such a blessing to me! She is taking on more and more responsibility around the house and learning new chores, such as organizing various areas of our home.

I snapped this photo of her after she had worked very hard straightening out our video cassette tapes and DVDs. I wish I had thought to take a “before” photo! It was a crazy mess! The little girls had jumbled up the videos and DVDs, removing tapes and DVDs leaving a pile of empty cases and covers. Lauren matched them up and placed them neatly in their cabinet. Since she’s straightened it out, she’s been watching over it carefully to keep it neat. I am so proud of her great organization as well as her responsibility over this new area. (Without my asking!)

I’m so thankful for all of my children, but I’m especially proud of how Lauren helps me keep this house in order. This is an area in her life that I see growing and improving constantly! I just don’t know what I’d do without her helping hands. 🙂
