Awards Day 2009

Friday the boys both had Awards Day at Carver...it was actually Nathans 9th grade graduation. I honestly had not expected pomp and circumstance but they certainly provided it. I cannot adequately describe the unbelievable pride I had watching my boys go up for their awards. I am sure I had some silly smile on my face that may have actually embarrassed my children. : )

I understand pure pride now. I am absolutely amazed at how my boy's have grown and turned into incredible young men.

Uncle Dick - I would not be surprised if the boys follow in your quest for science knowledge.

Nathan received 8 awards in all. I knew he was doing well in school but had NO idea this well. Here is a list of his awards:

Principal's Award (4.5 gpa)
Principal's Exemplary Conduct Award
Most Outstanding Musician
Excellence in Advanced French

Matthew received two awards:

Mom and Nathan...


Happy Mama!

Yes, they actually do love each other!


Nathan being a goofball when we got home. I was able to take him home early but poor Matthew had to stay the rest of the school day - sorry honey.



Maffooo getting his Science award.
