Family Room Forts

This afternoon I was supposed to grade my last seven research papers. But then there was a thunderstorm. So naturally we took a bubble bath, made chocolate chip cookies, and rearranged the furniture in our family room to better accomodate our awesome fort.

As I studied the photograph posted below it occurred to me that my picture-taking skills rest somewhere between pathetic and abominable. And maybe the totally awesome fort isn't particularly innovative either. But I'm not bothered. Lots of posts are geared toward all of you, so that you can peek into our lives and be part of our goings-on, even from a great distance. But today, this one's for us. One glance at the graceless photograph and the rickety, old fort and I'll remember what a nice, rainy afternoon the girls and I enjoyed together.

  2. Hi Lauren! Now I know about your blog, thanks to Jeremy's link on facebook. It's so fun to see pictures & read about you & your truly beautiful girls; I always wished I'd gotten to know you better before the ward boundaries had changed & then you'd moved!

    We are still close to the Dahlen's; we have carpooled to school with them for the past 4 or 5 years now. And the Christensens lived near you guys too I believe; they've moved to Queen Creek but I still teach piano to Robert & Stefani and Mary cleans my house as payment. Mary will mention you from time to time; I'm glad now I can keep up with your adventures in this format.

    You are such a great writer; it's been very enjoyable to read a few entries here. I hope you're having a great summer!!
