Some Recent Firsts

It's always an adventure in the Lawrence household with the farm, growing kids and our Niger community. Here are some fun "firsts" from the last month.

Leila, her two Niger "sisters"and their dear friend performed at a benefit to raise money for a Niger orphanage. They danced two dances that are very popular in Niger. It was very sweet, and we are very thankful that we have such a strong Niger community here in the Richmond area.



I am so thankful to have these other mothers that have adopted older girls from Niger. They are such a wonderful resource and support for our unique family.

Due to continuous tornado warnings, we recently camped out in our very small half bath. We ate dinner, did homework and attempted to put the kids to bed unsuccessfully. They thought it was great fun the first hour and then the novelty wore off!

Leila's first experience bottle feeding a baby goat.

Leila singing at her first concert at school. She did a great job!


While Leila was at her first-ever friend sleepover, Mary-Michael attended her first ever real princess birthday bash. Avery, the daughter of our late friend Renee, had an amazing fifth birthday party with real princesses, make up and a real tea party out on the lawn. It was unforgettable and Renee would have loved it!



And we can't forget about our little guy who started his first year of T-ball this year. Bottom line - Geoff is stoked.
