Grade 9 Grad

What a fantastic day! It started out with getting flowers - it's not every day I get flowers, and they weren't even from my mother or my husband! What a TOTAL surprise!
Thanks you know who you are!

She was lovely!


A dear friend sent a corsage that was so perfect and her favorite shades of blue.
It ended up in her hair, I knew you wouldn't mind! She was afraid of smashing the orchids.

I know... I'm sorry about bragging on my kids so much lately.... but Erin received an award for the top mark in the school on the Pascal math exam- the 25 top math students wrote this national exam. Plus she got a medal from the University of Waterloo, who hosts the contest, for being in the top 20% of students that took the test nation-wide. She ranked 2900 out of 26,000 top math students in the country. My nerdy husband graphed it on a bell curve. She was so embarrassed, but proud of herself too!!
Poor girl, beating out all those boys.

What a gorgeous bunch of young ladies!
