Looking down the list of honor students (and there were a BUNCH, with a sprinkling of ethnic variations) it struck me:
"Hunh. These are all 2-parent households with the same last name. What d'ya know about that..."


* #2 just missed the cut, but we were very proud of her because unlike her older sister, to whom many things seem to come easily, she had to work hard to be where she was but never gave up.

Congratulations ! Enjoy the moments - as I’m sure that you will !!
