1st Day of School 2011

Boys, today started another year of school.  It is the first time that the 3 of you will be in 3 different schools.  Jay starts Middle School today!!  6th Grade!!  Wow!  That is so hard to believe.  It is so exciting to see Jay grow and mature.  Nothing seems to be too much for him to handle.  The transition to Middle School has been much harder on Mommy and Daddy than it has on Jay.  He will have a locker for the first time, change classes, be in the Middle School band, and attempt to ride the bus!!  But I know that Jay is strong enough to handle it all.  Jay, you have succeeded in everything that you have done in school, and we fully expect that you will continue to succeed!
Cody starts 3rd Grade in the Intermediate School.  Cody, you have done so well in school also.  You are a natural leader.  Your friends look to you to take the lead, and your teachers do, too.  You are taking speech, and your speech teacher says that you are doing so well that you will not be in it much longer because you have worked so hard and done so well.  We could not be prouder of you, buddy!
Riley starts his final year in the Primary School....2nd Grade.  Riley, you will be the big man on campus this year.  We are so proud of you, and what you have accomplished in school so far!
We could not have asked for 3 better boys when it comes to school.  All 3 of you work so hard, that it makes it seem like school comes easy to you....but it really doesn't....you just make it look that way.  I pray that you all keep on working hard....it will pay off for you one day, I promise.  We love you all 3 very much!
