Today, it's Dana's turn at Recognition Day. She received the "With Honors" award, among 6 other students in her grade level. We're really proud of her!!
Actually, we've told her often that it's okay if she doesn't get an award, that what's important is that she LEARNS and UNDERSTANDS. It's not about memorizing facts and details, though they are also important. But, it's better if she takes the lessons to heart and remember them well for there's more studying and practical applications in the future :)
But, having an award sure does make you feel like you've accomplished something, doesn't it? As long as she's happy and won't let it get into her head, it's fine :)
Congrats Dana!! :) We're proud of you!
Happy Easter everyone! Today is the day we board the boat on our way to Calayan Island, my dad's hometown. It's exciting because it's been 10 years since we were last there and the kids don't probably remember much about that trip, so this is like a new experience for them...
Today was my Dad's 70th birthday celebration. A milestone event if there ever was one because this party brought our family together again, after a long, long time of being separated. If only Allan were here, we'd have been complete.
