Yeah Josh!

We went to the Underclassmen Awards Ceremony tonight at the high school and Josh received his first academic patch that he can look forward to sewing on to his letter jacket. That was terrific, he makes really good grades and his class ranking is wonderful right now.

The bigger surprise to both of us was that he was also awarded, Outstanding Student of the Year in Pre-Ap Algebra I.

Josh is really a great young man, I know that...Marc knows that...we all do. It's just really wonderful for it to be acknowledged by someone other than us.

When they announced it, I got big crocodile tears.

He's my baby, it seems like just yesterday when I was taking him to his first day of school and now he's a freshman.

He used to worry about what character was on his backpack and lunchbox and now he worries about his band music and his grades...but he's still my baby and always will be.

Congrats to you my son! You are a fine young man and we are *Very Proud* of you!
