July 2

Abby's been asking for the usual Good Grades ice cream for a week or two now. Since it was still over 90 degrees at 8:30 this evening, it seemed as good a day as any to make it happen. The boys went with cotton candy and gummy bears (which I still find to be a puzzling combo) while Abby chose a much saner mix.

Between the three of them, there were lots of As and some Bs scattered across last semester's report cards. All in all, good academic performances (with some room for improvement). 

But even better, when I look at them, I see a trio of good people who have good hearts and want to make good choices. So for that, I am thankful.
