We traditionally celebrate good report cards with ice cream, so this evening after dinner, Abby drove us over to Cold Stone for some cake batter ice cream with sprinkles (Abby) and mint ice cream with Sour Patch kids (the Brositos). (And yes, it was her first time ever driving the "whole" fam so that was kind of exciting.)

Given the bucket of crazy that was this academic year, we're proud of how well Abby, Isaac, and Brady all fared in school. There were less than great moments for each of them, but all in all, they persevered and finished strong.

I know that we're blessed to have children who are (mostly) self-motivated and disciplined when it comes to academics and I try hard to not take that truth for granted. So today, I'm taking the time to be grateful for their focus.
