One Proud Mom!

Introducing the new Wolves! (Luke is second from the right.)

Dear Joshua and Luke,

One right of every mom is to brag.....at least once in a while.  Yes, this will be one post about bragging.  I do not think I do it very often, except with your Dad of course.  And Dad might be a tiny bit biased as well!

Introducing the new Wueblos I!   (Joshua is on the far right.)

Last week was the bridging ceremony or crossing over to the next level in Cub Scouts.  I was so proud to watch you both complete your first year of Cub Scouts.  Before the ceremony, you both reflected on the first year of Scouts.  Luke chose the walking on hikes as the Scout activity that he loved the most!  Both boys are excited about earning a walking stick.  Luke especially loves the outdoors and learning new things about almost everything!






Joshua chose the Pinewood Derby as his favorite Scout activity so far this year.  Joshua made a car out of a block of wood.  He turned the block of wood into a patriotic racing machine!  He wanted to do every part of himself.  He designed the car, painted it, and put it together with the wheels and other parts!  Both boys had a great experience with their first Pinewood Derby even though neither of then won a prize at the Derby.

What I was most proud of was the way you both hugged and encouraged each other through the many races.  Another parent asked me how we got our boys to be so loving and sweet to each other.  That made me very proud because I want you two to always depend on each other for love and encouragement now and throughout your life.  I must admit you two do not always reflect this sentiment, but I am certain that in your hearts you love each other very much and always will.

Howdy partner!

There are so many day -to-day things that make me smile and feel so proud.  For example, the other day we were walking into 54th Street Bar and Grill to eat dinner.  Luke saw a circular from the newspaper flying on the ground through the parking lot.  Luke ran to grab the circular (safely of course). He enthusiastically announced, "I picked this up because I care about the Earth!"  And he truly means that!  Another example is how Luke comes over and opens my van door each time we get out of the van.  Luke is a sweetheart!




I love you both more today than I did yesterday.

Love,
Mom
