Giana Orange belt, Shawn fancy star

Giana got her Orange belt today. She was one of 2 kids that got a special badge for something special. She got one for "self control", it was funny becasue she got into trouble before class and has had tv and computer taken away, for lack of self control. But, they are always better in class then at home. The picture is so dark because the rain has started in WA and its very dark out. I think I have every light on in the house. Greetings Family and Friends,
