Hola Gents and Judies!  I hope you're well on this beautiful Thursday!  We missed many lovelies today because of archery nationals- congratulations, friends!  We hope everything went well and you were right on target :)

Also, congratulations are in order for our darling doll, Miss Abby Newton, our third trimester Monarch Award winner!  We are so proud of you, sweet girl!  You are truly the epitome of what this award represents.  You are kind, thoughtful, considerate, hardworking, determined, respectful, and a shining example of our Christian faith.  I am absolutely in awe of your compassionate spirit and dedicated drive towards success in all that you do.  We are truly lucky to be your friend and I am blessed to be your teacher. Congratulations!!!

I'm still in a camping haze- it was such a fun trip!  Please see the bottom of this post for pics galore from our awesome time
