DH and I just got a notice in the mail that SD9 won an award at school! She is the most improved student in her entire grade! There is a big celebration next week. DH and I are thrilled. We knew she was doing better since moving here, but this really shows that she has started to change.

Also, she wrote apologies to both me and DH for lying. She has done her extra chores and lived without electronics/TV for the past week without any complaints.

It makes me so happy to see how much she has blossomed in one year. The only bad thing is that we have to send her back to BM's house for the summer. DH is trying to fight that, but the court system is bogged down and our case won't be heard until September!
