I love emails like this....
So I had kind of a roller coaster of a day....
1st email
...from Zachary's teacher (for those who don't know Zach has Asperger syndrome so we have had some struggles in school....)
Jennifer, I have just finished with all the scoring for Zachary's end of year writing sample (2 teachers graded it) and had to tell you how well he did! Writing in his draft book may not always be his favorite thing to do, but he really pulled together a great story when he knew it counted. the story is about his "special thing"...his great grandfather's typewriter. I'll give you a copy of it. Here are his 6 traits scores tgether with scores at the beginning of the year. (1-5 with a5 being the very highest) He made a lot of progress this year! It is difficult to get 4s and 5s

2nd Email (I had to bleep out some words in it)
This was actually a text from Lynda and Mike
"U gals r f+++++ rockstars!!!! These pics r amazing. I can't thank you enough we have perfect memories now in print as well! Smooch - Lynda
3rd Email
Mrs Radack,
Your daughter has been suspended for a day from pre-school
(this one kind of sucks...whose kid gets suspended from pre-school?????? I guess mine) What can I say my kids go to Simis and they are a little OCD. She has never bit a kid in her life, why she decides to do it on the 223 day of school and get suspended I don't know. Good times!
4th Email
From Emily and Jeff
Hi Jennifer
We just finished going through all of the pictures. I just want you to know that we LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them! They are absolutely perfect, and we could not be happier. Thank you so much for all of your hard work.
Emily
Okay so I can't please everyone so Mrs. Dagmar today is not your day! I am going to take it as 3 against 1 and look at the day as a success. Thanks Mrs. Wienmiester, Emily & Jeff, and Lynda & Mike for making the day of my daughter's first school suspension not so bad.

The compliments are all great (and well-deserved), but the suspension has got to be the best email I have ever heard! Who suspends a preschooler that would rather be home anyway? Ha ha! Love it.
THanks Marnee at this point all I can do is laugh about it....if she was a regular problem I would probably be more upset, but this is the first time. I do need a pedicure anyway so maybe it will be a mommy/daughter date today:)
Oooh a wedding at the Sanctuary! Love that place! Beautiful pics. Y'know Jen I was trying to talk Frank into having our wedding at the Sanctuary and he thinks its too much of a contemporary place and the photos would look outdated in 20 years but I should show him these pics!
Oh and about the preschool suspension - it could be worse: at least she wasn't the one being bit! :)
I know this is old news, but I had NO IDEA how well your son did on the essay. That made me cry. What a year he has had...and what a brilliant child he is. Getting a 4 on those essays is really sheer brilliance...
I love those emails - especially the two about your kids. I'm a kindergarten teacher and I just can't imagine using the word 'suspend' for a little one ever! That's just crazy. Thank goodness you can take it lightly:).
Congratulations on the awards - truly deserved! Your work is exquisite. I'm sure you hear that a lot, but I know it always feels good. It's easy to see that you love what you do.
I saw the beautiful picture of your friend Renee. Before I read it, I knew there was something different about her - not just someone that had just had a baby. There's a different look to people that have had to return their children to God - a depth and gratitude for the ones we get to keep.
