My Dani is on the front page of one of our local papers for being apart of a peer mediation group. She is one of my public schooled kiddos who is getting really involved with helping out at school.  I was so surprised when the paper came yesterday and pleasantly so!! I am one proud momma....God sure has this girls' heart to help others.  She is also helping with the daily flag ceremonies, balancing her studies, doing peer mediation, and is playing viola in the orchestra.  We just got report cards in last week and she is on the A-B honor roll.  She has taken several standardized tests this year and her most recent one for reading she tested at a 11th grade 5th month reading level which put her in the top two spot for reading in the whole school.  I am just so pleased she is doing so well and that this family's love of reading has transferred so well to each of my girls'.  Other than loving getting the paper not much out of the norm has happened.  Today we got the house picked up, the bathroom cleaned, trash taken out, trash cans brought in, bathroom rugs cleaned, and dinner done.  It was SO good too chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes with gravy, and corn.
