This Week

Julia was awarded 3rd Place in Writer's Olympics for her story.

I still need to get a picture with her medal.

She loves writing and always works hard to participate in this event at school.

Hannah finished her road practice tests and successfully passed her driving test for her licence.

Thank you to Emily for being the required passenger/witness in the back of the car so I could be home.

Sadly, Hannah can't officially drive alone until June 30th. We were a little late getting Hilary and Hannah to the DMV to get their learner's permits. After this crazy week I finally conceded that I am really excited about having another errand runner in the house.

And without all the nitty, gritty details, Hilary got to finish up the school year early.

All I will say is that this girl is strong and patient and pleasant even in the thick of the difficulties of life. She is one amazing example to me. I have loved getting to spend so much one on one time with her, even if it always isn't fun.

Best news of the day...

the man of this house gets home...finally... after one LONG week of work in New Jersey.

I'm so grateful for modern technology that enables us to have constant contact and conversation! However, I really prefer him home :)
