Usually I am not one for standing on a soap box but after watching the Oprah show this past week I felt it was extremely important to help out in this cause. Some of the topics she discusses on her show I don't agree with but this particular show I watched really opened my eyes.
This past week she had a show concerning a horrible epidemic taking over the Internet and the safety and privacy of our precious children. The things that were discussed made me absolutely sick to my stomach but also opened up my eyes to the evil that is out there everyday. I could not believe that within a 24 hour period over 15,000 pornographic images of babies and young children were "traded" throughout the United States. Disgusting images and videos are traded everyday and every hour in this nation, things that I couldn't believe happen. So here is my soap box! Oprah's show made me aware of a bill that needs to be passed in the Senate to authorize over $320 million dollars over the next 5 years to local law enforcement to investigate child exploitation. Please go to the link below to do what you can. All she's asking is for us as mothers to write to our state senators to urge them to pass this bill. If you watched the show you were as saddened as I was if you didn't watch it believe it was horrible! Thank you!

Lauren Update

Yeah I have no idea why she put her hands up by her face, she was being a spaz!
Whoo she made it through her first dance class
TRYING to do "1st position"
Standing like statues

Attempting 1st position again

While Reese has been in school for the last few weeks Lauren has been awaiting her turn to go to Preschool. School started on Tuesday and she will be going to school from 9:30-11:30 on Tues/Thurs. I'm not one of those moms that likes to schedule her kids for lots of things but thought it was a good idea for her to have something to do since Reese is in school all day now, and I'm not so fun to hang out with!! :) I have also put her in a dance class, which she was most excited about! I think she is excited about school as well but LOVES her dance class with her good friend Brooklynn! I sat and watched Lauren on her first day of dance and got a kick out of how they don't really listen to the teacher! She did okay but we will need to practice! Here are some pictures from her first day of school and her dance class. Oh and some napshots with her favorite "toy" Ellers the Bellers!
