T-Ball and a Special Award

We are pretty busy around here these days!  Keegan started his second season of T-ball a few weeks ago and he is having so much fun out there.  He is so much more confident than he was in the spring.  He runs after the ball and throws it (which is twice what he was doing last season. Ha!)  His batting is even better.  He makes contact every time and with a lot more force.  We are so proud of him and so happy to see him laughing with the team on the sidelines ;-)
Ava was recognized at her school's first spirit rally (Friday Live)  a couple of weeks ago.  The new Bennett Creed Award was given to a student in each grade that consistently exhibited the principals of the their creed - Believe in ones self, respect others, eager to learn, positive attitude and strives for success.  The principal called us a few days before and told us it was a surprise and invited us to be there.  The school's namesake Mrs. Bennett was there to give the award.  We were a little nervous about how Ava would react to a surprise like that in front of so many people but she did great.  She had big smiles and kept taking really noticeable deep breaths over and over.  
All the Creed Award winners had a their picture taken for display all year and a special lunch with the principals on Monday.
We are so proud of this girl!  She loves everything about school and we are so happy to see her work so hard and enjoy it at the same time.  We feel so blessed to be at such a great school!
