Abby's Recognition At The Mansion

This afternoon, Abby won Honorable Mention for a PBS Kids Writer's Contest second grade division. Out of four cities in our area, four students in each grade (K-3) were picked as winners. She wrote about her experience at the Trampoline Park during Maksim's 5th Birthday party so she invited our family to her special event. It was a darling little book. We're proud of her. All the winners will make an appearance in the PBS channel on TV. Gosh, I love going to these events. I'm full throttle when it comes to kids' education.

She also received a big gift bag full of books and goodies.

The second graders, the future writers.

After the ceremony, everyone enjoyed a celebratory cake and drinks.

About the author page. I loved it.

Maksim and I. He can never make a serious face.

We tried to squeeze in a pregnancy photo together.

His personality is everything.

I desperately need my hair done.
