THANK YOU Ms. Lauren!

 So today was Ms. Lauren's last day with us! It was a VERY sad day for me. Lauren has given us such a wonderful summer that it is tough to think of the stress that will return in a short time! Not having to get kids up, out the door, or lunches to worry about has been fantastic. I realize we found the diamond in the sand with Lauren as she has been way more than we every expected! I hope she never felt taken advantage of or taken for granted. We treasured her everyday she was with us! Ms. Lauren made our kids summer the most fun and memorable to date!  So many times this summer Lauren has warmed our hearts with the care she provided, words she spoke or the simple things she did that we had to get the right thank you gift. We have a fuzzy blanket that she liked so Kayla came up with the idea of giving her a blanket. We went and got the fuzziest, softest, warmest blanket we could find to hopefully in turn give Ms. Lauren the warm fuzzies she provided to our family.

A close of group shot, can I also say this girl did an AWESOME job of capturing the summer on camera! Thank you for your photography skills as this was not in the original agreement, you did great!

One final group shot of the four pack from the summer. As Ms. Lauren enters her senior year of college we wish her only the best and know she will do awesome in anything she does! Lauren you are a fantastic person and our family is VERY fortunate to have had you all summer long! Thank you for giving us so much of your time! You will be missed dearly by each of us! Best wishes and love you! Pete, Karla, Makayla, Maggie, PJ and Brie
