Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I totally understand the cheers/tears thing. Why do they have to grow up so fast!!! And yet, it so beautiful to see them grow and spread those shimmery wings . . .

Much love
Margot

Thanks so much Krisann, Marianne, MacBeth and Margot! We are especially appreciating everyone's support because, interestingly, we've had mixed reviews in the *real world.* It reminds me of the phenomena of being pregnant with your first child and perfect strangers feeling free to share their horror stories with you . So far, we've heard about the girl who took too many college credits in high school and had a mental break-down under the pressure and never made it to college...and the students who went to college with too many credits and never bonded with their classmates...and the liberal professors blah blah blah...

Devin has handled it all with good spirit, better than me .

This is wonderful, Angie! Devin deserves this, and so do you all! I hope it is delightfully challenging for her!


MacBeth, this is all we want. We want her to grow in strength and skill and confidence. Not paying for the credits doesn't hurt either .

I'll keep you posted.

OH! Devin just earned her green belt (an advanced belt) in American Kenpo in a challenging school...Wah-hooy as Margot would say!!!!!!!

Love,
