Today I attended my grand daughter Montana's Academic Awards at her school. I must mention before I go any further that it was held outside...not in a gym......and it was cold.....and it started 1/2 hour later than I thought....I hate getting up early, that is one of the reasons I am a photographer....but I am also Nana and do not like to miss out on these special moments....(well maybe not sooooo special, but more on that later) Montana is 9 going on 19 and is very very smart.....academically.....she has always been bright, spoke full sentences at a year old, quick to learn, does her homework religously...a teachers dream.....BUT she can also be a "ditz"...how is this possible...lol. Instead of giving you examples as there are many I will just say that she is your typical blonde.....and when I found out that her Dad uses the expression that I have chosen for the title of this blog, it just seemed to fit. Now back to the awards.....being one of the first few people there I assumed I got a fabulous seat for taking pictures...front row right on the aisle....and then the kids came out of the school....with their chairs and of course all sat in front of the parents/audience, so much for my great vantage point.....Montana's class was one of the first to come out and she sat within viewing distance, but there was no Kevie's class :(...my grandson, who is in grade 1, they do not bring out the younger grades for the awards......
once the awards started I was glad to hear they where starting with the grade 4 class....what I didn't realize was that to receive the academic award you pretty much just have to come to school which is what a grade 4 student does....so as they called them all up alphabetically, they finally got to the "R's" and Montana joined the rest of her class and received a lovely dog tag type necklace commemorating the moment
after snapping a few (and I literally mean a few) shots I slipped out early to get into my car, turn on the heat and head to "Timmies".....
Your Papa and I LOVE you Montana and we are so proud to have you as our Grand Daughter....
