Me and Madalyn & her brilliant Girl Scout Troop
Our Super Star
This was absolutely a banner year for our precious Madalyn. She just blossomed, and matured and met so many goals its hard not get a little nostalgic as it really seems like she has taken huge steps to being an amazing person. All of her hard work has paid off, as you can tell from her medals and certificates. She earned one for being commended in TAKS Reading, one for being commended in TAKS Math, one for Academic Excellence for being commended in both Reading and Math, and the last for perfect attendance. (When Mrs. Milan gave it to her she told Madalyn that she wanted to go for a ride in her new car that she earns for having perfect attendance through 12th grade.) Then she got a certificate for 'A/B Honor Roll' and a certificate for being voted 'Smartest Student' by her classmates.
Even with her scoliosis diagnosis this year, she has kept a positive attitude and achieved some truly great things. Not only all of the stuff above, but she bridged in Girl Scouts, will earn a 5 year dance trophy tomorrow at the Dance Unlimited Recital, got second place in the talent show, earned a spot in ALPHA-H the gifted and talented program, and earned perfect scores on both of the TAKS tests. Her teacher said that its so important for each of the children to taste success. Once they have a little, they will work for more.
We are so proud of her its hard to put it into words. I read a quote recently that said 'children really aren't yours, they're just on loan for 18 years' and I keep thinking our time is half-way gone. :(

Way to go, Maddy! She is such an amazing little girl! Trust me, she will be yours for much longer than 18 years! :)
Good Work Maddy. I am very proud of you. Holly, you made me tear up at work again.
