On Wednesday the Boy Scouts had a Court of Honor. Unfortunately, I couldn't attend, since I was having a Laurel activity that night at my home. It is my new calling. What's a mom to do? I felt so bad that I had to miss it, so I sent the camera with orders to Dennis that he take pictures of everything. Well, I should have had him make a scout promise, "on my honor..." with hand over his heart, because when the camera was returned to me, the above picture was the only one in it. It is a nice picture, though. Unfortunately, Alex wasn't the only of my boys to get any awards that night. Poor Nathan also got some awards, but alas, no pictures of him. Sorry Nate.
It was a big night. Nathan got his Tenderfoot award, as well as merit badges in Swimming and Woodcarving that he earned this summer at camp. Alex received merit badges in Space Exploration, First Aid, Wood Carving, and Wilderness Survival. He's been busy. He also got his Star Scout. Dennis just realized that Alex has done everything to qualify for Life Scout, except that he has to wait 6 months. He is still only 12. We are so proud of both of our scouts, and so grateful to their Dad for all the help and support he gives them. Scouts help make great men (like Dad) out of good boys (like Alex and Nate). Now if I could just get them to capture this stuff on film. Wonder if they have a photography merit badge?

Congrats Alex and Nathan. We are so proud of you and we love and miss you.
That's awesome! I know the boys and the parents put a lot of work into those awards! :)
Speaking of Scouts... do you know when the other kids are supposed to start up again?
By the way -- I took this picture :) Nathan was no where to be found even though we tried with many attempts.
