At her school last year, they gave medals to the students who earned commended on their tests. At her new school, this year, they don't do that... So, I did. Two months ago. I knew she'd do well and I wanted her to feel like her hard work didn't go unnoticed.
We had a little family award ceremony and Bryan, Jordyn & I each put a medal around her neck. Cara beamed from ear to ear. I secretly felt kind of dorky about it until she said, "Mom, if you ordered these for me that long ago that means you really believed in me!"
Of course I do, silly, but nothing's better than believing in yourself. You go girl!

Hil,
We have ties for the cousins and uncles to wear, they are wearing lime green ties. The girls don't have to match but if you want to that is great. I am putting our family in green and Beau's in pink and the groomsmen are in purple. So whatever you have works!! love you!
