We got to go visit our kids and grandkids in their new home in Mesa, Arizona. It was so exciting when we got to go to Ellie and Reagan's school for the spelling Bee and Ellie won 1st place. She first won in her class and then she had to compete against 18 other kids (4th, 5th amd 6th graders.) It was very intense and so much pressure :) but it was down to 2 kids ( she and the other boy in the picture) and she won. It was amazing as she is only in the 4th grade....the youngest of the group. It was fun to have Greg's parents ( Ellie's great grandparents) in the audience too , as well as us ( her grandparents) . Unfortunately everybody was busy taking pictures up in the front and then it was time for the kids to go back to class...and we didn't get any pictures of us or Greg's folks. But we were there along with Jordan and Melissa and their other kids.
We are so proud of Ellie and we were so glad we could be there to share this fun and very exciting day with her. She will go on to compete at the next level. Greg told her he won his school spelling bee as a kids...then went on TV and got out on the 3rd word. There may be some genetic connection.
