This has been such a busy and exciting week! It's the first of many to come!
1. History Fair
Sarah competed in her middle school's History Fair for the last time last Friday. She did her report on D-Day. She spent a lot of time researching and learning her topic and she knew it inside and out. Sarah also borrowed my grandfather's WWII medals and some of his pictures from his time in the Navy. My grandfather was on one of the supply ships in the D-Day attack at Normandy Beach. It's still emotional for him to talk about almost 70 years later, but he was happy to share his medals and pictures with Sarah. He was also very proud when she won the Grand Prize!(and so were we:)

We had a family party for Sarah on Saturday. Sunday was Sarah's actual 14th birthday and my grandmother's 94th birthday celebration! My extended family was at my parent's house to celebrate!

Monday was my grandmother's real birthday and the anniversary of our daughter, Therese's birthday, too.
5. Award Nights
Both Andrew and Jon received different awards on the same night, so Jay and I had to split up!
Andrew received a scholarship after a nice dinner from The Polish Woman's Club.

(Jon wouldn't have had any pictures if it hadn't been for Andrew's girlfriend, Courtney, who was at the Pope Pius X award and reminded Jay at the appropriate photo ops!(Thx, Courtney:)
