#2 made it through the first year of middle school!!! Hurray!!!
He had some serious anxiety about school this year! School doesn't come as easy to him as do physical activities such as sports and everything else that requires any coordination. That kid can pick up any physical activity lickedy split and excel's quickly and easily!!!..... Schoolwork....not so much!!!He loves the social aspect of school.... the actual schoolwork, on the other hand, he could do without! In spite of that, he has a great attitude and strives to do his best in all that he does! He got the award for "Quality Counts!!" That means that he had quality work in all of his classes and got A's and B's in all of them! And believe me-- he worked really hard for those A's and B's!!! Afterwards, he was complaining to me about 'only getting the quality count's award'... so I pointed to the greater half of his peers sitting on the side of the gym who didn't get any awards at all and said, "Well, you could be over there with them, where quality DOESN'T count! We are proud of you regardless of what award you get... as long as you try your best... and we know you do.... that's all that matters!!!" Way to go #2!!! You made it through 6th grade!!!

He is also turning into a mighty hunter~!! He got a live trap for his birthday, which got stolen the next day, by some mean lady on a horse!! We were able to get him another one that he has used a ton to capture little squirrels in the field. We went and got some chains and padlocks to lock it up so the horse-thief couldn't steal it again! He doesn't hurt the little squirrels.... just catches them and then sets them free! The fun is in the quest I guess.... There are actually about 20-30 pictures of this cute little fella, I chose some of the best ones to put on here!!! There is always something exciting happening with our #2-- never a dull moment!!
We Love You #2!!!
