GREAT things happening here!

Just a quick post to brag a bit. Last Wednesday was Awards' Day at school and 6th grade graduation. Let's just say that our boys swept the awards ceremony. I could not believe all of the awards that they received. Jimmy and I are so proud! Asa gt 2nd place in the district art contest, 1st place reading award in his class (which is based upon total books read and point earned on comprehension tests) and straight A's for the entire year; Andrew received straight A's and the highest lower elementary reading award with 150 points (only required 35 points); Noah graduated from 6th grade receiving the highest upper elementary reading award with over 300 points (the 6th grade requirement is 50), an academic excellence award based upon his math and science scores on the standardized test, a bank at school teller award, a physcial fitness award (for attempting!), A-B honor roll and something else that I can't remember. It seemed that every other award was for an Abadie. Several parents have commented how impressed they are and I must say so am I. It feels good to know that you are doing something right as a parent. Go boys! Mama and Daddy love you and are sooooo proud of you!

Then onto baseball. . . . Asa had a GREAT game last night, hitting his first ever home run--a true, "hit the ball to the fence" homerun. He also made five outs at first and caught a fly ball and a line drive straight to him! He is on fire!!!!!!!!

Andrew had a game on Thursday night and played awesome as catcher! He really is a natural at that position. So cool to watch him continually throw to second to stop the runner from stealing! Go Andrew!

Lukee had another tball game today and he played so well! And he is so proud of himself. I guess from basically growing up at the ball field--he was two weeks old when Noah first started playing and he has been going to watch his brothers ever since--that he is so glad that he is finally getting to play. He gets up on game days and dresses himself and gets his bat bag ready and puts his game face on and is ready to play ball!

My heart is so full! I am the luckiest mom around!

Happy Mother's day!
