finally!!!
Sorry to ditch y'all like that, but we headed out of town as soon as I got out of school. Mike's working in northwest Louisiana (we live in southeast), so we drove up there to stay with him for several days.
Couple brags on Aly:
She won the DARE essay contest out of her entire class AND had to read it ALOUD in front of all the 5th graders, parents, faculty, DARE officers, etc that were there (and she found out about it just a couple hours before she had to do it!). She's never spoken in public before and did a GREAT job with it!!!
Her iLEAP scores came in, and she earned Advanced (the highest score) on English/Language Arts, Math, and Social Studies (she's gotten Mastery the past 2 years in SS), and Mastery (the second highest) in Science.
We went to see High School Musical on Ice a couple weeks ago, which she had a great time. Beforehand, we ate lunch with some of my co-workers and their girls (we all sat together at the show), and she made friends with a few of next year's classmates (she's changing schools, so this was IMPORTANT!!)...all 3 from good families.
She started her period.
She will play the clarinet next year in Beginner Band.
No report card yet, that was mailed out today. I think she has all As, but I'm not sure.
So, now it's our busy summer life....it never ends... wedding this weekend, birthday party this week, a couple programs next week, wedding next weekend, camp the next week AND getting her braces off as well as a "send-off" party for my nephew whose going to Iraq. Camp the next week, and programs and then our big trip to Colorado & Arizona!
By the time that's over, we'll be heading back to school! ACK!
Anyway...just wanted to give a shout-out and warn you to feel my wrath because I'll probably be back in business on the board tomorrow--so watch out!!
(First order of business--update this siggy!!)













WOOOO crazyness going on with you as well!!!!!!
Welcome back to the board, we love having you around during the summer months!
COngrats to ALy on the new step in her life!!!!
