Like last week, Lauren was able to enjoy more of the evening activities at RMH. This week they had a western BBQ/minature golf night, bingo (Lauren gets to help call the numbers), jewlery making (we must have 20 bead necklaces!) and a pizza party. We also took a looong walk to find a new Zainy Brainy toy store. Lauren picked out a stick horse and rode it all around the store saying "Giddyup" up and down the aisles. She wanted to ride it home but I convinced her that it was too long of a ride for the horse and he would get too tired. She reluctantly agreed to let it ride in the back of the stroller.
On Thursday, I had a visit from an old high school friend that I hadn't seen in almost 10 years! We had a great time catching up over a pizza lunch. Thanks Lenny..... You really brightened up my week! Unfortunately Lauren slept through the entire visit. It was actually really funny ..... just as we turned around from walking him to the subway, Lauren woke up and said "are we going to lunch with your friend?" I laughed and said 'honey we already went to lunch you just slept through it! She was upset at first but all was forgiven by the time we got to McDonalds for a Happy Meal.
All in all it was a fun week for us. We got to see and catch up with some old friends from previous rounds and also made some new friends. Lauren's roommate this round was a sweet little girl named Hannah, who just happens to be treated at the same hospital where Lauren's favorite doctor - Dr. Kristen, now works. Lauren was very excited when she found out that Hannah knew Dr Kristen too! The girls had a lot of fun together both in the clinic and back at RMH.
Well that's about it for now.
As always... Thanks for thinking about us and for including us in your prayers!
