Last night, Ryan graduated from Cub Scouts and became a Boy Scout. What a great thing!
He was so excited to move on in this direction. Rob and I are so proud of him for all his hard work and sticking with it. Just like any sport, Scouts takes a lot of commitment and there were times he didn't want to do it anymore. Now he can see the light at the end of the tunnel. The next goal is for him to become an Eagle Scout. That will take a while, but he has a renewed spirit and ready for this next challenge. After the ceremony, Ryan asked me if Rob had gotten his Arrow of Light and I told him "No". He was so proud that he was the 1st one in our family(immediate family) to get it. Ryan and Paul compete like brothers do and this is one thing that Ryan owns and his brother doesn't. A real confidence booster for him! Most of our NM family was there for the ceremony including Rob's grandparents, John and Dorothy. They came all the way from Yucaipa, CA for a visit and wound up getting to share the special evening with us. Uncle Steve was there too as was Papa Paul. Grandma Pam was working that evening at the Balloon Fiesta-never fear we took plenty of pictures so she didn't feel too left out.
We love you Ryan, I'm so lucky God made me your Mama:)
