Silver Reader

Today was Sydney's awards day for accelerated reader. She was recognized in 2nd place in top readers in her class. She was so pleased! She had been working really hard the last few months. Here is a picture of her getting her silver reader medal with the principal at their new school.

Afterwards they had an ice cream party.

I can't believe it!!!

As you know, Mary Higgins Clark is my favorite author. I have been reading her books since high school.I have ALWAYS wanted to meet her and get a book signed. Well... I just so happened to be checking her website for her new book-released every April- and discovered that she was going to be here in Atlanta on the 8th of May. Just in time for Mother's Day, how convenient! I invited my mom to come. She started me reading these books and likes them as much as I do. Anyway, she couldn't come and everyone else I asked had prior commitments.

So, I asked sydney to go. She looked at me and said, "Really? You want to take me?" She was so excited! Probably because she saw me dancing around the kitchen when I found out she was coming here.

Anyway, Mary(yes, we are on first name basis now:)) has a children's book out that she wrote last year. we got a copy for Sydney and she had it signed. We had the BEST time!

Hope you enjoy our photos!
