My Katie was asked to join the National Junior Honor Society!! Woohoo!!
She is one of 7 kids chosen out of 42 sixth graders. What makes this achievement even more special is that Katie isn't a straight A student although she has done a lot better in this school than she ever has. It is a smaller school and I think a smaller environment works better for her. She has made As & Bs with 1 C. The letter sent home said that the kids chosen were picked by the faculty based on scholarship, leadership, service, character, and citizenship. So I stressed to Katie that this had more to do with who she is than what grades she made.
She is so excited. They will have a formal induction ceremony next month and then 6th grade graduation in May.
Hannah will graduate kindergarten in May as well, she has been ready for 1st grade since about week 3. She can read and write very well for kindergarten and loves to go to school, cries when she has to stay home. I hope it's always this way. She surely has her dad's analytical mind and photographic memory so she needs school.
I am so thankful to God that He picked me to be the mother of these precious children.

Hannah, I am glad you love school, I miss you! Do you still like icecream?

Hannah says of course she still likes ice cream....one of her favorite things is the Brownie Batter Blizzard from Dairy Queen....she says you have to try it. We can't eat that stuff very often but she has had it twice and just LOVES it!
