I am bursting with pride right now.
Remember my reader, artist, rain loving, bunny feeding, mom hugging, sweet girl?

She's valedictorian of her 8th grade class.
Her dad and I are still scratching our heads trying to figure out where in the gene pool that came from.
Congratulations! What a wonderful accomplishment!!

Congratulations to your daughter . . and to the gene pool = you and your hubby. Funny, but I highly doubt anyone else is wondering where it came from. ;)

I think I know exactly where it came from. Congratulations!

Wow! That is quite the achievement, for you too ;)
You have to knit her something extra special now, lol.
You know, the valedictorian of my eighth grade class was very sweet tempered too. I wonder if that personality trait combined with good genes equals greatness.

Congratulations to the valedictorian and to the proud parents! In viewing her photos, I always suspected that she was Thinking Deep Thoughts...... :)
