Improvement

Jase has really been working hard on improving his grades.  Last year was such a struggle between him and I in that department.  He got passing grades but it was a fight.  He was smart but didn't want to put forth much effort.  He just brought home his progress report yesterday and he has straight A's.  He was so proud and so was I.  We took a minute to talk about how that feels to see those grades and how now he can maintain those A's pretty easily with minimal effort.  He also has really made incredible strides in his responsibilities.  Last night he put his blanket and favorite pj's in the laundry so that they would be nice and clean for school today.  He asked me to rotate them before I went to bed.  It takes some effort to think ahead like that.  Our counselor Andy has really helped Jase and me come a long ways. 

Hallie Hip Hop

Hallie's dance group performed at the BBall game last night.  She has been so excited for this dance because she got to order some fun DC's.  It was kind of a battle getting them, but they are here finally.  One thing I am learning is that I have to get creative in my shopping because we are a bit limited.  Aleena danced at the JV game.  She did her same number that she did at festival- black and yellow song.  They both did awesome. 
You will know which one is Hallie.  She has all the hair.  She is so proud of how long her hair is.
