Let the summer fun begin!

First, we received Lily's 4th quarter report card last week and we are pleased that once again she made the honor roll!  Way to go Lily!

Also, we went on two camping trips so far with some different friend groups.  Lily had a good time kayaking, swimming, and hanging out with her friends.

Soccer season finale

It was a little stressful there for a short bit, but the good news is Lily will continue to play for her travel soccer team next year.  She really enjoys the camaraderie with the girls and of course, enjoys the game.  Her team pulled out a victory in the final game of the season and she played really well.  I was so proud of her for taking risks!  Usually, she gets the ball and wants to get rid of it right away, but this game she got the ball and she took it and dribbled it down the field.  Also, she usually is nervous about taking shots at the goal, but this game she took several shots at the goal, and while none went in, some were super duper close!  I was just so proud of her willingness to take a risk!

She recently was asked out by a boy who was on her recreational soccer team last year, and while I think she might be interested in getting to know him better,  because of her loyalness to her current boyfriend, and her inability to get to know him in a group setting (because they don't share any common friends), I don't think she is going to step out at this time.  But I've got to say I was so proud of her for not playing games with him and calling him directly to talk.  So mature!

Junior year completed!!!! I can't believe she will be a senior!!!!

Today was the last day of school for Frederick County Public Schools!   I awoke the children with my usual Alice Cooper's Schools Out for Summer and neither of them were impressed!  I was hoping to get a last day-of-school picture of Lily before I left for school, but because of her schedule, I had to rely on her sharing some pics with me!  Thankfully she complied, even though it looks like she has no pants on!  LOL

Not amused with Alice Cooper!
