JD surprised Lauren with flowers and chocolate for Valentine's Day. 

Sometimes we have to coax Lexi into going for a walk, especially when it is cold outside.

Lauren went to a chamber orchestra camp retreat... she was the winner of a cup game which was basically a test of reflexes. She beat all of the other students at the camp!
