Boys State nomination

We met with a couple local representatives from the American Legion tonight who wanted to give Sawyer information on the Boys State program. Sawyer and 3 other boys from his school have been selected. Sawyer is interested in attending so hopefully it works out. It would be the last week in June on the SUNY Morrisville campus.

He's finally feeling better after about 3 weeks of being tired and stuffed up. The doctors say he was just fighting off a virus (who isn't these days?!) and it just took awhile to shake it off. On one hand it was good that he just had a 5 day break from school (he missed 5 days in addition), but on the other hand it's not fun to feel sick on your school vacation. He's also mostly finished his paperwork for the Eagle Scout project. Just needs to write a short paragraph about future goals, print it out and get a few signatures. We're really proud of him for his accomplishments, his demeanor, his personal high standards, and his overall being. But, aren't all parents?! (At least the ones we know certainly are...)

It felt like a spring day today, always dangerous to get our hopes up since we know winter will still have a few kicks left to give us. Sawyer always says spring is one of his favorite times of year, especially since it means his birthday isn't far away. Oh my, he'll be 18 years old in about 2 months. Guess that makes me what age? Not complaining though, life is good.
