REGAN!!!!! It's after midnight but we still need our hugs!
Next morning! Officially more awake and ready for a week with Regan :)
Lauren wanted a picture by "her picture" This is a project Regan had in one of her classes. She had to have a grid and she could only write the same word or words over and over again to make the image. Amazing!

LOVE this one, too! It a certain style...it's Zhuhai!!
Katherine and Lauren did 5 college tours in May...Union was the first
We also got a special tour of the nursing building because Regan knows people :)

Regan had to paint the same girl with 3 very different emotions. Crazy!
We went to the farmers market

Saw a movie with Regan...Star Wars
Dumpster Diving because well, when college kids move out they leave behind perfectly good things!
Things like a Chrsitmas tree!!

Yes, that is my daughter looking for close behind the stackable washer/dryer :)
