Crossing Over

                                                                


DS crossed over from Cub Scouts to BOY Scouts last night. It was awesome! It took all I had not to cry standing up there. They started with a beautiful ceremony for his Arrow of Light Badge/Award. After that, he stood next to DH and I as the Boy Scouts crossed a bridge to him, invited them to "their side", removed his neckerchief and slide and handed them to me. They all crossed back over the bridge and as he stood there, getting his tabs changed from blue to green, I remember thinking he had never seemed so far away.

So far my son is turning into a very fine young man indeed. I really hope he stays the course. He wants to become an Eagle Scout and a member of "The Order of the Arrow". An exclusive inner club of the Scouts. If he sticks with these goals they will really help him stay the course and become the man I know he can be.

We are so, so proud!

Picking up where I left off

Isn't really an option at this point. I've been a bad bad blogger. With this in mind, I am resolving to blog once a week, on Saturdays, when I have few if any "real" commitments. I promise, Dear Readers, to do my very best to never again leave you in the dark as to the adventures occurring at BigM's house! The two biggest adventures we have been on were going to Indiana for a month last December and moving into a house in January. We got the house as payment for our new job as care takers of our church. It has been a lot of ups and downs, but we pull through every time!

TTFN,

BigM
