Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is hands-down one of my very favorite holidays. I truly believe that a thankful person cannot help but be happy, and that it is impossible to be truly happy without a grateful heart. How awesome to have an entire day dedicated to this virtue! We were certainly blessed this Thanksgiving by the hospitality and company of good friends, following J's participation in his first Turkey Bowl!

Congratulations to M for her induction into the National Math Honor Society, and for earning Highest Honors due to last year's academic successes! Congratulations to J as well for his Term 1 Honor Roll award, and for earning his 7th Boy Scout Merit Badge!
