The end of the school year brings a lot of fun activities and achievements. It also tends to make me brag a little bit too. We received a special invitation to Harmony Middle School's first 8th grade Awards Ceremony. We were so pleased when Olivia's name was called for not one, but two awards! She received the award for top 8th grade student in French 2 (here we come, Paris!) There are 6 English classes in each of the 3 "teams" in 8th grade, and she was given the Exemplary Award for her team. Woohoo! Way to go, Olivia.
Sabe takes credit for her foreign language skills and I'll go ahead and take credit for that English one :)
And this is the awesome, new high school Liv will be attending next year!
isn't the scenery beautiful?
Ice cream afterwards:
Olivia brought home some of her artwork and it was so fun to see what she has been working on. She has always been such a great artist--hope she always loves it!

Way to go Livers! She looks so pretty and grown up. Very impressive artwork too. Congrats to her!
Ok! So this is prime motivation for Livs to keep working her butt off for High School French. Here is the plan: You and Me, Liv and Holland, Paris for graduation. Anyone else is invited!
Wow, Olivia!! THat is awesome and amazing, but not surprising. You are one neat, beautiful girl. I'm so proud of you! And I hope you'll always be an artist in some way.
Olivia, congratulations, again, on your awards AND on your amazing artwork!!! It was so much fun talking with you last night on your way home from your assembly. Your parents were certainly proud of you, as they should be. You are a beautiful, smart, artistic young lady!
Ahh what a neat experience. I love Olivia, she is just so fun and so great in so many ways. Looking at those pictures sortof gave me the chills, proud chills...and as a mother, that's got to be totally cool. I love her art too. Oh yeah, I can't forget to also give her a big shout out for her birthday on Sunday....Happy Birthday LIV! You sure know how to "live" (haha, clever huh:))
Good Job Olivia!! What more could you ask for....beautiful, personality, and smart!! Good genes Jen, good genes!!!
This was truly a payback time for you and Sabe. It doesn't surprise me that Olivia is smart as well as beautiful. Nor does it surprise me that she is such a perfectionist and a great artist. She is just like her mother!! I'll always remember when you came on a baseball trip with Brad and us. You carefully helped make sure he had his stuff together before every game and you were right by his side to support his efforts. We will always remember how impressed we were by such an unassuming but talented sweet little Jen.
Tell Olivia congratulations and that we are happy she is turning out like her mother.
