PASSED!!!!!

JUSTIN PASSED HIS BOARDS!!!!!

This is a major event in the Seale household!! Justin has been fearful of the mail for the past two weeks. He wouldn't even walk near the door when the mail arrived. We are VERY excited for him. He has worked so very hard.

We must acknowledge this has been a community effort. His accomplishments are credited to our family and friends who were supportive and of invaluable help during these processes. We are truly blessed to be surrounded by such loving and wonderful people.

For those of you that are wanting to add me to the ballot for "mother of the year..."

The good news arrived in the mail before Justin was home from work. Claire was having a playdate with the sweetest little girl. I made all of the kids walk with me to the liquor store to buy champagne for Justin's celebration. Yes, I proudly walked four children (one that is not my own, whose mom I barely knew) to the liquor store. I told the friend's mom that we took a "field trip." I have to admit I was feeling badly when we were walking down the alley with a paper bag full of alcohol. The liquor store did have free suckers for the kids...like the bank. Doesn't that make it a little better? Once again...mom of the year.
