Art and Academics...

Good morning Everyone,

Hope you are having nice weather in your town.

Have a bit of news I wanted to share with you...My youngest daughter 'C' won First Place in the Congressional Art Show. They will display the painting at the U.S. Capitol for one year, beginning in June I believe. There is a local award ceremony on April 18th, then there will be a ceremony, in June, in Washington DC. We are very proud of and for her. Here is a photo of the painting she took with her cell phone, just after she finished it.

'Lanterns'

'C' was also part of the Academic Lettering Ceremony at school on Friday. They are awarded to students with a 3.7 or higher grade point average.

Today, my Girls and I have our 6 month check-up at the dentist. I also have to run 'C' by the Orthodontist to get impressions of her teeth for new temporary retainers. She has permanent ones, but they don't hold her teeth in place as well. He says it is harder to hold bites in place, which is why she wore braces. I hope, in time, the permanent ones will do their job. Any way, the reason she needs new ones is... she broke the bottom one when she was brushing it clean last night...

Take care,
Thanks for stopping by,
Sheila
