Spotlight on "the boys"!

Last weekend was the "Blue and Gold" Banquet in which Marshall "crossed over" from three years as a Cub Scout to being an official Boy Scout.

For us the hightlight of the ceremony was when he played "American the Beautiful" on piano. We were so proud of him! The "Arrow of Light" ceremony is quite special in scouting.

At their first meeting on Tuesday he was voted by his peers as "Patrol Leader". He is so excited and cannot wait for summer camp at the end of June! Neither can I....he and his brother will both be gone the same week! Anyone want to take "dibs" on the girl?

As you can also see in the pictures he is now sporting glasses!




John is now the proud owner of a full set of braces! After a few days of soreness he is adjusting well. Look out girls!!


Are you pleased now Lucy????
