Catching up

It has been a busy couple of weeks. I felt I could finally take a breath this week. We are all doing well. The boys are getting that end of the school year itch. The middle school girl's track team is doing well. We are 2-0 in our meets. Keith is hoping to be able to transplant into his garden soon.

All smiles

Well, today was the day I always knew would come. I always knew that my children would have to have braces. This was based on how bad my teeth were before I had them. Keion got his top braces on this morning. I would say he is not thrilled, but hopefully will appreciate our efforts in the future when he is giving interviews about his latest movie and has a winning smile. He did get a nice surprise this week. Keith and I surprised him with a cell phone. He can no longer say he is the only 7th grader without one.

Report Card Time

Today was report card day. Keion did very well. He received all A's with the exception of Spanish in which he received a B. He missed straight A's by 2 points. He also found out today that he was accepted into the National Junior Honor Society. His induction ceremony will be Thurs. April 30th at 7 pm at the school.

Kendrick did well on his report card as well. He is still on the E, S, T scale. He is doing well in reading and spelling. He has really developed a love for reading. His teacher says he has some difficulty with some math skills initially,but works hard and quickly picks them up,

We are very proud of the boys.

Keion went to get his spacers today in preparation for his braces. He will get the braces on next Thurs. I don't think he is looking forward to it.

Middle School Girls

I have volunteered to help the track coach out this year. I will mostly be working with the girl's team a couple days a week. I have been promised an eye opening look into the world of Middle School girls. Having 2 boys that should be interesting. I was pretty reserved in middle school.
Some of these girls you would never look at or listen to, and think they were in middle school. Typically everyone makes the team, but they had so many girls go out for the team this year that there are going to be cuts. I will keep you updated on their progress. -Darilyn
