A-B Honor Roll

On Friday Mackenzie got her report card and she made the A-B Honor for the first time since being at Butler. She routinely made the A and A-B Honor Roll when she was in private school but since last year she hasn't. Now at the end of the year she had all A's and B's for her final grades but just couldn't quite get it all in one grading period. She had the most trouble in math last year. So any way when she told me what she had done I was so excited for her! Oh and one thing is their grading scale from elementary school is ridiculously hard.
94-100 - A
88-93 - B

I personally don't go by the grading scale when looking at her tests, etc. So many times they have so few questions that if she misses one she automatically gets a B. Then misses 2 it's a D. I'm not kidding. Any way yesterday they had the honor roll recogniztion assembly and Lee, Jackson and I went. I wouldn't have missed it for anything in the world. She was so proud of herself. Honestly I couldn't tell out of us who was prouder, her parents or Jackson. He got so excited to see her and then see her get her badge. When she was lining up along the stage after she got her badge I put him on my knee and he was standing up waving at her. She saw him and waved and he just lit up. He was just so excited for her. So we are very proud of Mackenzie.

We had our weekly marriage counseling session yesterday. I have to say it went pretty well. Of course I brought up my frustration about him not helping as much as he was suppose to and blah blah blah. Overall though it helps us to talk things out and have a 3rd party involved. I think more than anything it's something that Lee needs.
