The Treadway's

That is a cute picture of Clara. It makes you think how many of us played in Grandma's aprons....
About the bench: how long do they gaurantee the picture on the rock? Is it weather-proofed so it doesn't fade from sun/rain, etc? Or would it have to be re-done every few years? And then does that require shipping it back to them? Just wondered.
The girls go to DoDea schools on the bases, Trish. The same as ambassadors' children, or those who work in NATO positions over here. They are really good. And yes, Tarin will graduate in K-town (Kaiserslautern), which is good. She has only been diagnosed with ADHD for about a year. She is on a low dose of medication once a day. She made A's and B's this last semester, and aced her semester exams. She didn't even have to take some because she aced the class all year. She took her PSAT's and scored higher than about 70% of the sophomores. They are handling her IEP very well, so we want to keep her in the same school system instead of coming back to the states because every state has their own IEP evaluation system, their own plan for people with learning disabilities, etc. It is very frustrating to re-start the process, which was one of our main reasons for Joe getting this job. It took so long to get this diagnosis; it is fairly new to acknowledge ADHD in females. The other main reason was that it is non-deployable and he is awesome at dealing with all the regulations. He is up for Major in about a year to a year and a half, after the deployment. And yes, we will take pictures of everywhere we go! We are planning to go to Italy this summer when he returns. They give those returning from deployment 30 days to take any leave they have saved up. When we are in K-town, we are going to go to England. I want a picture by the "Treadway Street" sign!!! When we purchased our family sword and coat of arms from an English company, they knew the family name and the man at the bazaar had been on Treadway Street. It has one of his favorite little restaurants.
More later! I hope all of you are well. Have a great Sunday. Michelle and gang
