In press

We were surprised to find that Lauren showed up in The New Era (our church's worldwide youth magazine) this month in the feature they did on the pioneer trek we did last year in our area.  It was fun to relive some of the memories + to have such a nice moment with her friend Ian captured in print.

And then, in a freaky coincidence, we found that Sam was in the Friend (the children's magazine) for this same month for a little service project he and the other children did last year at the Old North Bridge.

You'd think we hired agents or something! Two children featured, three children in our family. Hmmm. Way to mess with our slippery + tentative balance of sibling equity, church magazines! (Luckily, Miss M didn't have a Marcia, Marcia, Marcia moment at all.)

The first thing I did when I got The Friend is look for Sam. I found him pretty easily, and showed my girls. They asked if I knew him and I didn't exactly know how to explain it to them:) It still is pretty cool though.

I saw that in the Friend but not in the New Era--two for two, wow. I felt the slightest bit of "celebrity" seeing as I might not be IN the magazine, but I know someone who is :). p.s. Sam Andreasen lives out here and comes to help me out a couple times a week--it is actually she who first saw it, and we had a good time looking for friends and enjoying Boston talk.
