Let's Pray Together

A couple weeks ago (Nov. 13 to be exact), the little girls and I were in the front yard. It was after the last soccer games, you can see Lauren has her trophy. They were laughing and playing, like they usually do, then Lauren says, "Okay Caroline, let's pray." Of course Caroline wants to do whatever Lauren does, so this sounded good to her. Lauren tried to help her along, like Daddy does at bedtime. "Caroline, say, 'Dear God...Bless Mommy and Daddy...'".

Caroline pretty much knows the routine and continued on her own: "Bess Mommy and Daddy. Bess Djulia and Austin and Lauwren. Tank you for Grandpa and Grandma. And Grandma Alvina..." It went on for quite awhile. And Lauren had her own turn also. She does pretty good coming up with a little originality, not just a recitation, and it was so cute to hear!


Say 'Amen', Caroline! ;) They repeated their prayers several times. I'm still not sure where Lauren got the idea they should pray together on the front porch right then and there. But it's a good thing she wants to pray with her sister, right?
