Our speedy little "Extra Mile"-er

Katry was nominated for and received the "Extra Mile" award in our community. She was nominated for volunteering to help struggling second and third graders learn to read.
The award ceremony was right after her soccer game in which she obtained the awe-inspiring hat trick. That's three goals for those of you who aren't soccer fanatics. She is also the fastest girl in fifth grade. We watched and cheered her on from our back porch as she ran the mile for the presidential fitness award. As a funny side note- she was exempted from doing the pull ups due to her extraordinary performance at the first of the year. Most kids are lucky to get 2 pull ups. She ripped out a whopping seven-- much to her teachers jaw dropping amazement. A hearty thanks to Dad for installing a pull up bar in the basement in Kentucky. We used to have fun taking the missionaries down there before dinner and have contests. They would eek out what they could and then Seth and Katry would hop up to the bar and pull up a whopping eleven or so times. Ahhh good memories! Way to go Katry! Thanks for always doing your best.
We LOVE you!
