Hi! My name is Lauren, I am a biology major planning on graduating this May in hopes of going to PA school (physician’s assistant) in August of 2011. I am the second oldest of 5 with all brothers, no sisters! I am a new mommy – I have a beautiful 3 month old baby girl, Isabela, who is absolutely adorable and I posted a picture of her with my mom's (her grandma's) glasses on that my younger brothers took and another picture of her at Chritmas.
My favorite children’s book is probably Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I had just finished 7th grade when I read it and I remember it occupying most of my summer as my best friend had moved away and she was really my only friend at that time. I loved disappearing into the world of Harry Potter and Hogwarts and I think the Goblet of Fire is my favorite due to its release during that specific time of my life with my best friend moving away and such. I guess you could say I felt like Harry, Ron, and Hermione were my replacement friends (as nerdy as that is).
Lauren, thanks for sharing pictures of your lovely daughter. She will no doubt get to be hearing you read your favorite stories all the time -- though probably not HP just yet. I know what you mean about Harry, Ron, and Hermione feeling like your friends. My son, Jimmy, had a similar experience when we moved, temporarily, to London. He was lonely and soon miserable and scared because just weeks after relocating, 2001 attacks took place. As we watched the news in growing horror, he would retreat to his bedroom to reread and reread the 4 books. And after each new release would be digested, we all felt a strange let down that it would be another year or two before we could explore more (untraveled) territory together again.
