One Year Ago Today

these were the only two letters I wanted to hear from our agency:

T A

yep, it was one year ago today and we received our travel approval ~ the permission we needed to head to China to bring Miss Madison home!!!!!!!!!

First Grade Assessement

Samantha had her first grade assessement this morning.  It was scheduled for one-half hour, but Dale said her teacher said it wouldn't be long as Samantha reads at such a high level already.  At the endof kindergarten they want you to read at around a level D or E (if I recall correctly) and Samantha exceeded that, and is currently reading at a level I or higher.  She is a wiz kid when it comes to reading.  We are very, very proud of her and hope she keeps up her love of reading!!!!!

11 Months Ago Today . . .
