Advancements and Promotions

Congratulation to Daryn for passing her CRCT testing which means she will be promoted to 9th grade. It has been a fantastic year for her. (She also won the 8C End of the Year Games.!!)

Also this weekend, Daryn has her end of the year dance. This is the second choice dress. Can't wait to post the first choice. How beautiful she is.

And yes, I had a birthday.

I thank my kids, parents and friends for making it the best they could for me despite being sick with Strep Throat. Therefore, not a lot of pictures were taken. But I am grateful for all the gifts.

Much love.

This pretty necklace.
