Wrinkles are hereditary....parents get them from their children.

We had the final fundraiser dinner for Lauren at church last night.

She is only $67 away from her $1420 goal now. We are so happy....and thankful to all the people who helped her get this far. She leaves for Guatemala at the end of June...for eleven days.

Speaking of Lauren.....the funniest thing happened the other day.

Chris and I were running an errand together (at 11:30am...during school hours) and Lauren and two friends pulled up at the light next to us. Windows down...music blaring. We just sat there and observed for a moment....and then honked at her. I wish you could have seen her (and her friends) faces when they realized it was her parents in the next car. BUSTED! It turns out their yearbook teacher had sent them out on a food run for the class. I know the teacher personally....and she has done this before. Seeing as the yearbook has been out for awhile now....the class is pretty much over for the year. The look on her face was priceless though. Funny!

Later that same day we headed up to the high school with Ben, Nick, Kristian and Kai to play tennis. As we pulled in the parking lot we noticed Lauren's car was one of the only ones left. She had been at an Alpha meeting and pizza party after school hours. I guess it was over...and she and some of her friends decided to "chill". All the doors were open and the music was pumping. So we rolled down our windows and blasted my music (NPR...symphony music) as we drove up to her car. We invited all her friends to come play tennis with us. Lauren looked thoroughly mortified by her geeky parents...and all the children hanging out the windows. hee hee MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
