Lauren, or as I like to call her, My Angel

I've been having a lot of back problems with this pregnancy (Jason LOVES to laugh at me hobbling around). Mostly sciatic pain, so I haven't been much fun for the girls. I have to sit down a lot and if I'm on my feet for more than 30 minutes I can't walk for an hour. So running around the back yard and taking long walks is out of the question these days. Not to mention I've picked up a lot of work this summer and don't have a lot of time for playtime, which sucks (but I enjoy the work!).

And then along came Lauren. She's a college student home for the summer and she had a flyer up offering her babysitting services. I called her and asked her to come over on the days when Jason's working or sleeping cause he's on nights to give me a hand with the girls.

Lily and Emily LOVE her. She is so enthusiastic and energetic. She plays with them outside for hours and takes them to the park and for walks which allows me to work and rest when I need it. They're excited all morning on the days she's due to come and Emily cries when she leaves. I'm gonna miss Lauren when she heads back to school!
