3.5 Amazing Years in the Life of Lorena Ruth

Tonight we are going to our first live show at a theater.  Peppa Pig is Lorena's favorite tv show and it seems fitting to see "Peppa Pig's Big Splash" when it came to Central Kansas.  Peppa Pig is an animated British tv show for preschoolers, with the main characters being Peppa and her Mummy, Daddy, and brother George.  It's a big surprise for Lorena.  We think she's going to freak out when she sees the show!  My mom and dad bought the tickets for us 6 months ago so we've really been looking forward to it.

Besides Peppa Pig, Lorena loves TV in general.  She's a lot like Dan in that way.  Once I turn the TV off to get her attention, it still takes her 5 seconds to figure out the TV is off because she gets so focused on what she's watching.  She also loves to play outside and ride her tricycle.  She enjoys coloring and wearing fake tattoos.  She's a big fan of chocolate, peanut butter sandwiches, and green beans right now.  She loves Sunday School and can't wait to go to pre-school and have her own backpack.  In true Lorena style, she's off the charts for weight (50 pounds) and height (almost 3 1/2 feet tall) for her age.  She didn't stay small for long.  

Lorena's come so far in her short years on earth.  We had no idea what the future held for our baby girl when she was born 12 weeks premature at 2 1/2 pounds.  Would she survive?  Would she have lifelong disabilities?  Would she be able to come home?  She turned out like God intended her to be. God doesn't make mistakes.  Lorena is now a rambunctious 3 1/2 year old.  She's super sweet, pretty emotional at times, and has a big heart already.  The world's a brighter place with Lorena Ruth in it.

  1. We definitely need to get Clarabelle and Lorena together - they sound like a couple of girls that would love to hang out, watch Peppa Pig, and eat green beans to their heart's content!
