Scout Awards.

Luke's Scout troop held a Court of Honor

tonight . . . 

. . . of course our Luke received THE MOST

merit badges and awards!!!!!

Love, love, love that boy!!  I am so very

grateful for his determination and amazing

spirit.  He.is.a.wonderful.part.of.our.family!!!

We Did It!

A wee bit blurry and a mouth full

of congratulatory M&Ms, Luke

finished four-week courses in order

to earn both his Lifesaving and 

Swimming merit badges.  This

class was not for the faint of heart,

every single night for four weeks.

(I think I must might whip up

a little merit badge of my own!)

Congratulations Luke!!!

Gotta Get 'Em All!!

Luke has spent the past several weeks

working diligently on merit badges.  We

have made a plan and have committed to

earning as many of them as we can.  There

are 122 Scout merit badges in all.  If anyone

can earn them all, it is my Luke.  I have

NEVER seen anyone so dedicated to the 

tasks that the sets his mind to.  As of lately

he has earned Space Exploration, Citizenship

in the World, Environmental Science, 

Disability Awareness.  He is going to start

a three week course soon where he will

earn Swimming and Lifesaving.  Pioneering

is next on our list as is Motor Boating.

He is attending a college next weekend to

earn Citizenship in the Community, Radio,

and Safety.  

I love all of the merit badges and do so

enjoy working on them with Luke.  You 

would think that after going through these

badges TWICE already, I would have 

had enough.  Quite the contrary, I do so

love working with the boys on what they

are interested in.  Believe you me, when

Luke is interested in something: Watch

out!  There is no stopping him.

122, 121, 120, 119, 118 . . .
