And Whether (Spelling) Bees Have Stings

Kymber (elder daughter) won her school's spelling bee in January. This is major because her school is comprised of fourth, fifth, and sixth grades ... and she's in fifth grade ... and she beat ALL the other kids. Nana (that's my mom) and I went to watch, and shrieked like happy banshees when she won!

Her victory at her elementary school entitled her to compete in the county-wide spelling bee in February. She didn't win, but she did a fantastic job all the same. (Note to the Lincoln County Spelling Bee organizers: head football coaches aren't known for their diction, so perhaps it would be good next time to either choose an English teacher or at least make sure Coach Whoever clears the marbles out of his mouth before speaking.)

Here is Kymber with her EXTREMELY proud Mum and Nana!

WAY TO GO, BABY!
