A-F-F-I-L-I-A-T-I-O-N

I wish with all my heart that Affiliation started with an "O"..because that's the only letter that my sweet girl missed.  She beat out 26 out of 33 kids tonight..and I told her over and over (as I held my sobbing girl) that I wouldn't be any less proud if she'd been first out of the competition.

I got a good picture after she'd stopped crying at home...

Annnnd...a not so good picture before we'd even left the house...

Lol..but that one doesn't even compare to THIS ONE from last year...

"Buzzz..." Goes The Bee

Heading out of work soon to screw home and get ready for Madelyn's big night! She received first place in her class spelling bee and tonight, she and about 30 other kids are competing in her elementary school's competition. I think she's really nervous, but I know she'll do great :) I'm rushing to the store to pick up flowers and a "So proud of you Sweetheart" card for my girl.

I've got butterflies in my stomach and it's not even ME that's going to be onstage tonight!! Will update later with the results!
