My precious Lauren Kassidy turns fifteen years old today! I wanted to do fifteen photos of her, one for each year, like I did for Mitchell a few weeks ago. As I started looking through pictures, though, it was really hard to choose just fifteen! I have so many sweet ones of her. The one …
It’s hard to believe that my precious girl, Lauren Kassidy, is fourteen years old! If we still lived in Arkansas, she would be going to get her permit tomorrow! But, God, in His providence, led us to the great state of Oklahoma, which wisely sets the age for permits at fifteen. And requires driver’s ed! …
While writing yesterday’s post, I remembered something. I remembered that waaaaay back in November, my daughter, Lauren wrote a play that I failed to share with you! November and December were very busy months for us, as they are for most people. Not only were we knee deep in homeschooling and holiday preparation, but we …
Lauren loves baking chocolate chip cookies…well, any cookies, but she gravitates toward chocolate chip. And she really loves bringing two or three of them, fresh from the oven, to me to taste. And I really, really love it when she does that. (Though I’m pretty sure that’s why I haven’t lost any weight lately.) Last week, …
Last week was Lauren’s turn to cook. She is really doing a fantastic job! I’m able to leave her alone in the kitchen – for the most part, anyway. 🙂 She chose to make a breakfast item last week, Honey Granola Crunch. Now, I haven’t shared the recipes from all of the kids’ dishes because…well, …
Are you sick and tired of hearing me say how fast time is going by? Yeah. Thought so. So….I won’t say it. (Awkward silence) So…um….Lauren is now twelve! We had a small celebration for her with my Mom on her actual birthday (August 27th) and then Terry and I hired a baby sitter and took …
I will never forget this day, and what it represents. I became a mother for the first time, twelve years ago today. I was very far from home, with no family around. The nurses had kept her on a warming table for the first four hours after she was born, because her temperature wouldn’t stay …
My oldest daughter, Lauren, was saved on June 8 of this year. She had made a profession of faith when she was six, but had doubted it a lot since then. I was so excited that she got it settled during our revival meeting this past summer. We were thrilled and relieved that her doubts …
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 …
On Monday, August 31, our family had a unique opportunity to visit the office of Mark Pryor, one of our United States Senators,to discuss the possibility of his co-sponsoring the Parental Rights Amendment. (My younger kiddos stayed with my Mom for the morning while Terry, I and Lauren made the trip on to Little Rock.) We …
