Are WE Proud

        

A week ago today, Andrea received her first ever award for academic achievement.  Rob< Lupe, Kayla and I were privileged to watch as children with 3.0 or better GPA were recognized.  Those with over a 3.5 also made honor roll.  Andrea's GPA is 3.0.

The award came as a surprise to all of us because she is in special education and working much below grade level.  The blessing for her and for us is this: she's doing great at her level and we are so proud of her.

Our other two girls are also doing well.  Kayla's grades have improved tremendously with a couple of A's in the mix.  Her GPA was just below that required for recognition.  We see a tremendous effort from her and we are very proud.  Lupe is also meeting the goals of her special education program.  She loves school, her teacher and her classmates. 

I don't think we could be any prouder of our girls.  The Lord has certainly blessed us all.

I pray that you will rest well this evening and have a blessed day tomorrow.

I adore seeing the wonderful images of love and kindness you post, Penny. It is so comforting to know that there are parents out there who care so much for their children.

This is wonderful news, Penny... it sounds as though your young ladies are doing so well.  As well as being proud of them and their achievements, you should also be proud of yourself, for being there for them and giving them what they need to excel.  Here's to you, Penny ... Cheers !!  Tina

Hi Penny!

That's awesome!  Congratulations to the girls and of course to you and Rob!  The home atmosphere is what is making them excell.  They look so happy!  Glad you all had a wonderful day at the beach!  

Your medicine could very well be what is making you cough.  My friend at ITT when I worked there was put on a blood pressure medicine too that make him have this dry cough. They changed the medicine before he got real bad, and his cough stopped after that.  

Hope you are getting better!
Love and Hugs
