Kristen loves to get the newspaper in the morning. In fact, one morning I thought she was still sleeping. Our doors have alarms that "ding" when you open them. I was headed out to pick up the paper when I heard from her room, "Wait. Let me get it."
This morning she came running in the house with great exuberance. "Look Mom. It's me." And wouldn't you know it? There she was with twelve or so of her not-so-close friends on the front page of the newspaper. She was so proud of herself, "That's fantastic!" she exclaimed.
She's in the second row on the far left of the picture.
