Look at Little Chase...he looks so tiny in the tiger cub picture. OK-- I was fine with this but looking back to the pics of them when they were little is making me sad!!! The boys should be very proud of their accomplishments and I can't wait until they are earning their Eagle Scout-- then I'll cry a river!!!
Sandra, we'll cry together. I did fine last night. But, looking through the pictures today of the past five years was really rough. Time really flies! I am proud of all of the boys! I put a list together today of everything Chase completed and it is amazing how much all of the boys have done. I have records on all the boys. I need to update them for the things they did this year. I will send you a copy of Austin's when I get it finished. I may have left something out. But, you can just add whatever I missed to the list that I send to you. I think it would be nice to tuck this list away somewhere. Then keep a new list of what Chase earns toward the Boy Scout Achievements. When they finally earn their Eagle, we can give both lists to them to help them realize how hard they worked since 1st grade!
