Lauren's 8th Birthday Celebration! : )

Happy birthday to our sweet lovable Lauren Elizabeth!  You are just a few days from turning 8 years old and Mommy just cannot believe that!  : )  You are growing up so quickly.  You are our "middle" girlie.....a perfect and unique combination of both sides of our family for sure!  Because Lauren is "growing up", she decided to host a friend birthday party at the rec ctr at our church this year and make it into a "salon" party so we had fun with manicures, massages, decorating purses, trying on fashions, and doing our makeup.....such fun!!!  Then we also hosted a family party to round out the birthday fun.  Nothing better than celebrating the day another sweet daughter was added to our family.....happy 8th birthday Lauren Elizabeth Massey.....you are a joy to us!!!  : ) 

First Day of School for 2012!!!!

The big day has finally arrived......the first day of school for Allison and Lauren!!!  Allie started 7th grade and JR HIGH today!!!  Woooohoooo! She was a bit nervous but overall.....very excited!  I cannot believe my baby is growing up!  So proud of the sweet young lady that she is becoming.  Prayed for her this morning that God would protect her, bless her, use her and grow her into His image during this wonderful time in her life.  I cannot wait for her to get home today so I can hear all about her new school and new season of life! 

Now for Lauren's turn.....she began the life of a 2nd grader today!  We went to the "Back to School" night last night at her school and she got to meet her teacher, find her desk and bring in all of her new school supplies....so FUN!  She has a wonderful teacher and a great friend that she knows really well already in her class so I know she is going to have an awesome year!  I also prayed for her this morning that God would bless her and protect her and that she would LOVE this year at school! 

Katelyn.....my sweet girl.....she heads to her "parents day out" at school next week and this year, she begins 2 days a week there.....yeah!  : )  But for this week, we are just enjoying spending some one-on-one time together.....for next year she heads to "big" school too....oh my!  Let's not jump ahead of ourselves.....enjoy every single moment.....it all goes by so quickly.  I am so blessed and so very thankful......
