No words can express how thrilled I am with how Madison is doing these days. What a huge change from one year ago! She has a fantastic teacher in a school and school district that I am grateful for every day. She just got her report card and I am proud to say, she is right on track with everything. Math is something that she has to work really hard at. Unfortunately she gets that from me, not her father the engineer. But she has come a long way. She has even met her end of the year reading goal already. Nothing gives me more pleasure than to sit and listen to my first born read! I never tire of it. Last Friday Duane had to opportunity to visit her school for a "Living Museum". The kids in her class each picked a significant person from the United States that they researched. They made a special art project, collected information on the person and dressed like that person. To her father's delight, Madison chose Sally Ride, the first American women in space. She did a great job sharing her report with the audience. It was such a wonderful project. The kids learned so much. They'll remember the experience for a long time. Those types of things are the most valuable learning experiences. Madison is still enjoying gymnastics, but can't wait for soccer to start. In a few months she will make her first communion. She is getting so tall! I love her enthusiasm. So many of her traits that were challenging as a young child have really developed into valuable traits that make her such a wonderful girl. This is really special time in her life that we are blessed to be a part of.
