Halfway Mark


Yesterday our sweet boy graduated the 6th grade.


Which means...

* That next year he'll be roaming the halls of a jr high. 

* That he's half way through with his "free" schooling.  He will attend college!

* That girls are beginning to look a little more... likable.

* That he has yet to figure out the right amount of cologne to apply and leaves a little scent trail  lingering in the places he's been. :)

* That he's becoming less of a boy and more of a (gasp) man.

* That I may need to go back to work full time just so we can afford to feed him. 

* That his emotions are all over the place!

* That while striving for more independence, he still NEEDS more hugs, direction, and support from us then he may think.

* That we've got just 6 more years to love, nurture, and take in the every day quirks this boy has to offer before he leaves the nest and heads off to college.  

JUST 6 YEARS!!  THAT DOES NOT SEEM LIKE NEARLY ENOUGH TIME TO TEACH AND SHOW THIS BOY ALL OF THE THINGS I STILL WANT HIM TO KNOW!


So, Before the tears really start flowing let me just brag a little and say how proud I am of JK, my sweet boy. 


* He's well liked by all of his peers and teachers.  

* He's got a heart of a gold.  A servants heart!

* He is sweet and tender and so attentive to others feelings. 

* He is not above or embarrassed of giving me (or his littlest sister) hugs in front of his friends.  

* He is strong and kind and a little bit of a goof ball.  

* He is everything I prayed my son would be.

* And he's smart too!


One of just a few boys in his class to make honor roll!

Keep up the good work JK!  We know God has amazing and wonderful things in store for you!!
