It was a great weekend for "parent payoffs". We were able to congratulate Erica on getting accepted into Da Vinci Academy.

She's trying to decide if she wants to attend or not.

 Cole recited the 13th Article of Faith even though he said he would "never be able to get that whole thing". 

Brooklyn took the 1st place medal in the district for Nat'l History Day. She entered a website that she created from her research on the impact of the Eisenhauer Interstate System. She had to present the website to the judges and answer questions. The whole process was 15-20 minutes long.  There is quite a sharp lady inside of this girl!

Megan received her patriarchal blessing today. It was an amazing experience. I felt like I was peering into her future and getting to see her through a more "celestial" lens. You parents who have done it can relate. My words are weak, but feelings are strong. It was a pleasure.  I can't wait to see it all unfold!
