Super Nanny Lauren

In the last ten days, Lauren has spent quality time with 18 kids! She has gone to baseball games, the pool, played "castle", "hotel", given kids baths, painted nails, made shrinky dinks, done crafts, taught them about Jesus, made lots of snacks, and put kids to bed. She has broken up fights, comforted the "out-of-sorts", and has even taken Micah shopping, to a party, home from church and youth group, and has even taken care of Dan's dog - and even Dan! As you can see, Lauren loves kids, has a heart to nurture, and the kids follow her like the Pied Piper! It's too bad we live so far away from everyone. Lauren would be a great babysitter for you.
Four of our favorite PK's - the Deal kids. Lauren even gave them tattoos which they proudly showed me at church on Sunday.
Lauren and Stacie teach the two year olds for the first service on Sundays. This week they had 5 girls and 3 boys - all so cute!!!
This is the oldest of the girls Lauren is watching this summer - Kayla.
Abbi is the youngest.
This was her first dive during swimming lessons.
Lauren and Josh at a ball game. Notice the gap in his smile.
Jacob, Josh's brother, is getting ready to bat. Lauren even takes great pictures of the kids. I guess she has learned something from me!

If I could just have a little of Lauren's energy, I think I would be okay. I feel the need for naps often...and I'm not talking about for the kids!

Lauren, You can always come and visit me for a week. We could keep you busy with your little cousin's. (Kerri is coming in next week so that would be a good week to come).We'll even find some crafts for you to do. - Love ya, Aunt Marlene

Lauren - I don't have small ones but you can take care of Gary and Granny anytime you want - they're big enough to send to you... :) May be a good way to earn extra bucks..rent yourself out a week at a time.

Definately! Anyone of those children would have been such a great addition to South Point, Ohio. I would have taken them all!
Thank you for the thoughts and prayers.
