April 2023

Every April 1 I tell the Referral Day story to Tanith and she may find it crazy that I do this, but it’s important to me to make sure she knows how much she is loved.

She also had a soccer match today and the team won their first game and T almost scored. T is what everyone calls her :) 

March 2023

 We just learned that Tanith was approved to attend Marina HS next year. I still cannot believe I have an almost high schooler. Also started Spring soccer and so proud on how far T has come since she started playing. She was even made team captain for her positive and encouraging support for her teammates.
