My Sister, The JD Graduate

My sister Hope has been a goal-setter for quite some time.  For the past couple years she has even gotten me into goal setting, serving as a client during her wellness coaching certification and holding me accountable with my New Years Resolutions since 2009.  One of the highest goals she has ever set was reached on May 12th when she was awarded her law degree from Drake University.  It was a special day celebrating Hope's accomplishment and we look forward to celebrating her completion of the bar exam July 23 and 24.

 

 She Did It!

Graham loves big cookies.  As a special treat for Hope and Graham, I made a big cookie for the special event.

March for Babies 2012

On April 14th, Bailey and I walked in our 7th March for Babies.  My dad walked with us again and my mom came along for moral support.  We ended up raising $545 which will assist in March of Dimes' efforts to bring more babies to full term pregnancy and assist those in the NICU who are born too soon.  A heartfelt thanks goes out to our supporters who donated to Team Bailey and have helped us raise $3466 over 7 years. 

    Can you believe that this miracle baby was 14 inches long when she was born and is now 5' 4" tall? 

4th Grade Wrap Up

Bailey wrapped up 4th grade three weeks ago.  Once again many memories were created throughout the year with accomplishments, special honors and new activities. 

School Picture Day

Van Allen handed out PRIDE Awards this year, recognizing students for Practicing Responsibility, Respect and Safety, Integrity, Doing Your Best and Empathy.  In checking Bailey's take-home folder, I would find these little golden slips.  By the end of the year she had accumulated 45 tickets.  I'd say she showed her PRIDE well this year.

Homecoming Friday

Bailey's color wheel art project was selected for the Mount Pleasant School Art Show.  This was the 3rd year she had a piece displayed at the show.

Other pieces to add to the Bailey Seegers Art Collection

Van Allen Carnival Salon Makeover

Bailey participated in Chorus this year.  These pictures are from her final performance. 

5th Grade is only 9 weeks away.  In the meantime we are enjoying our summer filled with swimming at the pool, clarinet lessons, volleyball camp, vacation bible school, time at the farm and getting together with family and friends.
