Moms can brag. Right?

I have to indulge in a bit of shameless bragging. First, we received a letter informing us that Bailey will have her second poem published this year. She entered a poem entitled "My crazy family". (How appropriate.) We are very excited about that and can't wait to receive our copy of the book. Then, Bailey entered a drawing contest that she found in JabberBlabber magazine. It is a kids magazine that you can find in random places around town. Anyway, the theme had something to do with recycling and she drew a park scene with people putting recylce bins to good use. Unfortunately I didn't get to make a copy of it before she sealed the envelope and sent it off. We had completely forgotten about it until she received a package in the mail the other day. Inside was a JabberBlabber t-shirt and a handwritten note informing her that she had won her age group in the drawing contest. They also mentioned the winners in this month's magazine. She was so excited and so were we!! My talented girl. I am so proud of her!! I can't wait to see what the future holds for my beautiful, smart and creative girl!
Here is a pic of her after she received her letter and t-shirt from JabberBlabber!
