Lauren turned 10 last Thursday. I now have a 10-year-old daughter!

Melanie and I went to her soccer game on Friday evening. It was her team’s (Purple Reign) second official game (two have been re-scheduled so far), and I got some pretty cool photos of her in action, and at rest also. Her team was doing great through the game, keeping the score even until the last few minutes. Their opponents scored a goal and kept the score 4-3. This makes Purple Reign’s record 0-1-1 (wins, losses, ties). Her team did great and it was fun watching them. After the game we went with her to a local pizza place for her to celebrate a teammate’s birthday.

On Saturday, we spend some time with my parents doing some shopping. Then on Sunday, Melanie and I took her to Libby Lu for a make-over. She chose a cool package that included a hair-do, some make-up… and she got to mix her own lotion and shampoo. We could tell that she had a lot of fun so I thank Melanie for finding Libby Lu! Because I would never have found sometime like that myself.
