Good new things

Noah has certainly had his fair share of new things this year.  A new school, new way of school, new responsibilities, new sport, new scouts.  No wonder he is exhausted all the time.

Noah has always loved swimming.  He has a swimmer's build.  I finally convinced him to join a swim team.  It's been so hard, but good for him.  His first swim meet was only 2 weeks after he joined.  For his first meet he did so well.  We are all so proud of him.

Noah got to experience something that all 6th graders should go through.  I did, my siblings did, most of my friends growing up did.  It's called Jr. Cotillion. It is a social etiquette class where boys and girls learn how to be ladies and gentlemen.  It is good to see old fashion values still being taught.

 Lastly, Noah was able to go to his first boy scout court of honor this past week.  He earned his Tenderfoot.  We are proud of him for starting on this journey towards becoming an Eagle Scout.  We love watching him mature and grow.  We love it, but it also makes us sad.  It's hard watching our kids grow up, but it is also a good thing.  Congrats Noah!  We love you!
