SOOOO PROUD!

For the Ayala family, the 2008-2009 school year is officially over. Edgar and I are no longer living with 1st and 5th graders. We now share living space with 2nd and 6th graders. The awards assembly was this morning and both kids won awards. Now, as all parents often do, i had a feeling that they would be getting "A" or "A B" honor roll certificates. And sure enough they did. But the next one was a shocker for mom and dad. Gabby and Jaden both won the Christian Leadership Award for their class. That award is given to the student who most consistently displays a Christlike character in the classroom and on the playground. Do you know what that means?! It means they don't act like they do at home when they are in public! I dare anyone to tell me that there is not a God in Heaven. I actually could have cried. It makes everyday that we feel like the worst parents ever, because we say no, worth it. We could not be more proud of both of them. And to top it all off, as Jaden's teacher commented that the students in her classroom were going somewhere, he hollered "yeah college". So now we know he's even looking into his future. It's been a good day!

After school we took them to see the new Night at the Museum movie at the Imax downtown. It was a fantastic movie and we all enjoyed it! Edgar did pick up on the Jonas Brother's vocals in the movie long before anyone else did though. (a little strange perhaps?!) What an appropriate end to an almost perfect day!
